this is one of the reasons that i think prop-based effects result in better design than pure CG in movies

creativity comes from constraint

i've thought this about modern car and (especially) motorbike design, the rise of cad/cam (and the natural swing of fashion between curves and sharp angles) means a lot of modern designs look like utter poo poo because it never exists in full (or even small) scale until it's way too late to change

my go-to example of this is the ktm super duke (but all of ktm's bikes suffer from this to a greater or lesser extent)

not a single continuous line anywhere on the fucker. this isn't just a "dagnabbit in my days there were songs you could sing along to" thing, i like the pointy "transformer mid-transition" look of modern naked bikes, but this is a jangled mess for no other reason than the designer wanted to do as much designing as he possibly could.

(for comparison, the older model did a similar thing but with a much better flow:

compare the way the lines of the tail continue through the seat and tank to the total lack of flow in the newer one)

also it leads to poo poo like on my current bike - the design is mostly okay (but looks awkward as gently caress from some angles, another problem with a lot of modern bikes), except for literally no reason there's an engine mount right here:

that is cut at a 45 degree angle. no reason at all why it can't be flush, but i know some designer somewhere hugged himself at his brilliance in putting that little touch on so quotidian a bit of metalwork. it's only purpose is to dig into the side of your leg.

while i'm ranting about kids these days and their crazy trousers, this piece of poo poo just around the corner from me is bad (and has just "won" the carbuncle award for worst new building in london) but there are ten nearby almost as bad:

loving thing looks like the textures haven't finished loading yet. just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should do it

needless to say it looks even worse in real life, and just wander round in street view - that whole area is like the result of some sort of "who can do the stupidest loving thing in concrete and glass" competition. i swear it's because canary wharf, just up the road, is deliberately very conservative in the building designs they let on their turf and architects get rejected by them and go "too ugly for hoity toity canary loving wharf eh? let's see how much you like having to look out your precious symmetrical windows at THIS poo poo"

mind you at least, unlike the last winner, none of the buildings round here is an actual loving death ray:

that melts cars parked nearby on the three sunny days a year we get in london:

talking of lovely design - this isn't even the first building BY THIS ARCHITECT to do this:
