Today, 3D design is important to many application areas, such as architecture & interior design, industrial & mechanical design, simulation, training, entertainment, etc. Most current 3D design software is targeted at the late design process, where refinement happens. Few tools can be applied productively in the early design process, where ideas are generated, alternatives are investigated, etc. The consequence of this is that designers do not explore the design space well, which leads to suboptimal design results. The insight behind the current proposal is that different tools are needed for the early phases of the 3D design process to enable people to be creative, explore the design space better and hence generate better designs, which in turn leads to more competitive products. While tools cannot directly be creative, they can stimulate creativity. For example, software tools for the early design stages need to be simple to use - so that users can concentrate on the design, not the interface - yet powerful and need to foster creative exploration. My previous work has already yielded 3D software that is easy to learn and simple to use.

今天，3D设计对许多应用领域都很重要，例如建筑和室内设计，工业和机械设计，仿真，培训，娱乐等。很少有工具可以有效地应用在早期的设计过程中，在那里产生的想法，替代品进行调查，等等，这样做的后果是，设计师不探索设计空间，以及，这导致次优的设计结果。当前提案背后的见解是，3D设计过程的早期阶段需要不同的工具，以使人们能够发挥创造力，更好地探索设计空间，从而产生更好的设计，从而产生更具竞争力的产品。虽然工具不能直接创造性，但它们可以激发创造力。例如，早期设计阶段的软件工具需要简单易用--这样用户就可以专注于设计，而不是界面--但功能强大，需要促进创造性的探索。我以前的工作已经产生了易于学习和使用的3D软件。
