I recently downloaded the student licensed version of Vectorworks and I am super excited to teach it to myself. One of the areas of design I’m looking to declare is scenic design and I want to learn how to draft in Vectorworks. I hear it is the one software a lot of students in the scenic design program at CMU use. The thing is, I have no current knowledge of how to properly use Vectorworks, so I have no clue whatsoever about how revolutionary these changes to the software are. But from what I can tell, these changes are going to help people in all fields of work on creating what is needed for their line of work. Whether it be scenic design, lighting design, sound design, etc. The other thing is, AI has been negatively impacting all fields of work but mainly, the art world as AI can design/create designs. Which takes away from the beautiful aspect of original work.
I think that AI is really cool, and I like how they're using it for visualization instead of as a replacement for human effort. Something that I've been thinking about recently is how to incorporate VR with lighting design. There are many programs that allow one to sculpt in 3d, and as a lighting designer, we are simply sculpting with light. It would be really cool to see a program that leverages the power of AI, in combination with input from designers, to make a tool where the designer is able to paint areas of the stage, and the AI can create paperwork for them. The designer would then be able to make modifications to this paperwork to get to the final draft, and it would speed up the process considerably. One could imagine this as a plugin to Vectorworks or similar software. I really think that this could help designers speed up their workflows a lot.
