Abstract
Much research work has been devoted to developing techniques for improving the capabilities of computer aided design (CAD) systems for limited engineering and architectural purposes, where the domain of objects to be designed is somewhat restrictive and constrained in scope. Other types of design such as sculpting or industrial design, where aesthetic factors play a more important role, have not been adequately catered for. The main reason for this neglect is that aesthetic factors have fuzzy characteristics, are subjective and difficult to specify. This paper identifies the needs for fuzzy logic in the development of CAD systems, and in particular, discusses how fuzzy logic can be used to model aesthetic factors. We categorise aesthetic intents, analyse the requirements for their representations and present a systematic scheme to realise aesthetic intents using fuzzy logic. Finally, we show how this scheme can be applied to enrich the process of producing artistic work such as brush painting.
