Often, the generative process of digital modeling remains exclusively in the hands of the creator with the potential of these virtual environments frozen in the presentation of a static image or a scripted animation. In this way, there has been an inherent disconnect between the intelligence embedded within the dynamic process of generating 3D virtual environments and the presentation of static CGI images which are meant to represent them. However, what if the audience had a window into the designer&rsquo;s world, where we could interactively reshape the environment as we choose and instantaneously see the cascading results updated in real time? How would this effect the manner in which designers can effectively communicate ideas to their audience...</p>
