Context Free - Grammar Evolver
Starting with genetic algorithms, its was interesting to see that a few variables could influence the design so much. Using less complex geometry and more variables that changed small things in the design lead to a much greater degree of diversity in the choices than many of the objects that we were making before. Whereas randomness and chance lead to interesting shapes before, it was decisions about what variables to alter that gave the greatest control over design. At first this provoked me to change all of the numbers in my design to variables, but this lead to wild inconsistency within the design, and after many rounds of options I was no closer to an interesting shape than I was at the beginning. Thus, after experimentation I found that only altering a few critical variables that I was able to create a process that would allow me to choose and design predictably.
