I. EXISTING SYSTEM

The current landscape of 3D modeling tools exhibits adiverse array of software applications, each with its unique features and capabilities. Traditional 3D modeling software, such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Rhino, have long dominated the industry, offering robust functionalities tailoredto the needs of professionals and enthusiasts. However, these applications often come with a steep learning curve, requiring a significant investment of time and effort to master.

Furthermore, the majority of existing 3D modeling software is locally installed on users' devices, necessitating substantial storage space and computational resources. This installation- centric approach poses challenges for users with limited storage capacity and those seeking a more flexible and dynamic modeling experience.

User-driven design has been gradually gaining attention in the existing systems, allowing users to provide inputs andguide the modeling process. However, the extent to which these systems seamlessly integrate user inputs and ensure a fluid interaction between users and the AI-driven modeling processes varies.

Template-based modeling has seen adoption in some existing systems, providing users with pre-defined structures toexpedite the design process. However, the range and adaptability of templates in many cases are limited, constraining users to predefined design pathways.

Moreover, the existing version control mechanisms in 3D modeling software often lack the finesse required to support iterative design. Users may encounter challenges when revisiting and modifying specifications, potentially leading to inefficiencies in the creative workflow.

In summary, while traditional 3D modeling software has laid a strong foundation for the industry, the existing systems are not without their challenges. Our web application seeks to address these limitations by introducing a new paradigm in 3D modelingcombining the power of AI, user-driven design, versatile templates, and an efficient web-based platform.

   The development of our innovative 3D modeling web application follows a dynamic and collaborative methodology,primarily rooted in the principles of Agile. This iterative approach enables us to respond to changing requirements, foster continuous improvement, and ensure the timely deliveryof a robust and user-centric platform.

   Agile Development:

   Agile methodologies, specifically Scrum, guide our development process. We organize the project into short, time- boxed iterations known as sprints, typically lasting two weeks. This approach allows for regular reassessment of priorities and adjustment of development goals based on continuous feedback. Through daily stand-up meetings, our cross- functional team ensures open communication, transparency, and a shared understanding of project progress

   Iterative Model Training:

   The integration of AI-driven model training is an iterative process that evolves with each sprint. We leverage a combination of pre-existing AI models for 3D generation and in-house trained models to interpret user prompts. Regular model evaluations and refinements occur based on performance metrics, allowing us to continuously enhance the accuracy and responsiveness of the AI algorithms.

   Template Library Development:

   The creation of a versatile template library involves collaborative efforts between designers, developers, and 3D modeling experts. Each sprint focuses on expanding and refining the template collection based on user preferences, industry trends, and emerging design needs. The Agile methodology ensures that the template library remains adaptive, accommodating the evolving demands of the user community.

   Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD):

   Automation is integral to our development pipeline. Continuous Integration and Deployment practices allow for the seamless integration of code changes and the swift deployment of updates. This not only accelerates the development process but also ensures that users have access to new features and improvements in a timely manner.

   Version Control:

   Git, a distributed version control system, plays a pivotal role in our methodology. It enables the team to collaboratively manage code changes, track the evolution of features, and roll back changes if necessary. This ensures a stable and organized development environment, crucial for maintaining the integrityof the codebase.

   In summary, our Agile-based methodology promotes flexibility, collaboration, and responsiveness throughout the development lifecycle. By prioritizing user feedback, iterative model training, template library development, and efficient deployment practices, we aim to deliver a cutting-edge 3D modeling web application that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our users.

3. EXPERIMENTS AND DISCUSSION

   In this section, we delve into the conducted experiments to assess Shap-E's viability as a shape-generative model for evolutionary engineering design optimization. The initial

   User-Centric Design:

   User feedback is at the forefront of our development strategy. Regular user testing sessions are conducted at the end of each sprint to gather insights into usability, identify pain points, and validate design decisions. This user-centric approach ensures that the platform aligns closely with the needs and expectations of our diverse user base, contributing the creation of an intuitive and efficient 3D modeling expe

   focus is on establishing baseline performance metrics, followed by exploring optimization cases for different types ofrepresentations.

   1. Baseline Performance Metrics:

      In our experimentation, the performance of designs is quantified through the aerodynamic drag coefficient (cd). To establish a baseline, we utilize a dataset of 300 shapes (batch size=300) generated from the prompt "A car." This not only defines the baseline performance but also ensures consistency in the simulation model. Metrics such as length, height, width, and projected frontal area are computed for the generatedshapes, verifying their correlation with the obtained cd values. Visualization of metric distributions reveals the nearly identical lengths of the designs, attributed to normalization in the training data. The linear correlation between cd and the projected frontal area (Af) further substantiates the coherence of simulation settings with physical phenomena. Performance measures are normalized based on the baseline set values (Eq. 1), ensuring a standardized comparison.

      Additionally, as an initial reference for performance, 50 designs are generated with the prompt "A fast car in the shape of a wing," resulting in a mean normalized cd of 0.46 ± 0.08 with a 95% confidence interval.

   2. Prompt-based Evolutionary Design Optimization:

      This series of experiments employs the Covariance Matrix

      Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) to optimize 3D car shapes by manipulating text-prompt templates. Both the bag- of-words (BoW) and tokenization approaches exhibit slow convergence ratios and oscillating population performances throughout optimization. Notably, the BoW-based optimization produces designs with slightly lower cd compared to the tokenization approach, suggesting that the optimization struggles to exploit the higher degree of freedom in the tokenization representation. These findings shed light on the intricate dynamics of prompt-based evolutionary design optimization, pointing towards avenues for refining and enhancing the efficiency of the optimization process.
