The Visualization Patterns of Uniformly Formatted Parametric Designs on Lotus Pattern

Abstract

This Article aimed to propose a method for generating parametric design images with regular patterns. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in parametric design, an approach that opens up new possibilities for the design process by automatically generating solutions through computer modeling techniques. A large number of unconventional, abstract and irregular parametric design works have emerged. However, it is worth noting that relatively little attention has been paid in these works to generating images of regular parametric designs with specific reference patterns. And, lotus pattern is a relatively regular pattern. In traditional Chinese culture, the lotus flower usually has a strong cultural symbolism. Lotus pattern has a wide range of design application bases. Therefore, this paper takes the lotus pattern as an example, and demonstrates the parametric design image generation method of the regular pattern in three steps, namely, geometric feature extraction of the lotus pattern, parametric line drawing generation of the lotus pattern, and parametric image generation of the lotus pattern, in turn. The outstanding contribution of this method is that it systematically introduces the parametric design generation method for specific regular patterns, and provides a set of comprehensive and repeatable parametric design operation steps for designers in various design industries. The goal is to provide a repeatable parametric design method for all kinds of designers by exhaustively exploring the application of parametric design in regular patterns, to promote the wide application of design innovation, and to make some contributions to the overall development of parametric design practice.
