Seed Variation
Seed Variation is a method in generative design where changing the seed value in a random number generator leads to different design outcomes, even when all other settings stay the same. Designers use seed variation to quickly explore a wide range of possible forms, patterns, or layouts without changing the main rules or constraints of the design system. This approach helps in finding unexpected solutions and unique visual results, making it a practical tool for rapid prototyping and creative discovery in digital design workflows.
