A Study on Developing a 3D Design Curriculum Applying Generative AI

This study explores how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can be effectively integrated into visual design education, focusing on 3D design courses. As tools like Midjourney, DALL·E, Runway, and Blender AI plugins become more common, design curricula must adapt to these emerging technologies. Through case studies, literature review, and focus group discussions with educators and professionals, the research examines how generative AI supports idea development, enhances visual creativity, and automates repetitive tasks. The findings suggest that AI can strengthen students’ creative workflows, but also highlight the need for education that combines technical skills with diverse awareness. This study offers practical insights for designing AI-integrated 3D design curricula for the next generation of designers.
