Comparative study of traditional digital modeling and AIGC generative 3D modeling for Minnan patterned tile

Abstract

As AIGC (AI-generated content) technology develops at high speed, AIGC participates in design from different dimensions. In 3D design, generative modeling largely relieves the pressure of high-intensity repetitive work; however, the precision of generative models is not comparable to 3D models routinely designed by designers. Based on this situation, this study takes the digital design practice of Minnan patterned tile as an example to compare the similarities and differences between the traditional 3D modeling workflow and the AIGC-assisted modeling workflow. This paper holds that differences in output forms, final quality, and entry barriers between AIGC modeling and traditional modeling mean that the two 3D design approaches are not in an oppositional relationship; we can take the essence of each and combine their advantages to carry out 3D design work, and a human-led, AI-assisted collaborative mode is bound to be an important trend in the future innovative development of 3D digital design.
