Very cool! This reminds me of a use case I explored a few years ago—customizing furniture with different fabrics, wood finishes, and design options. In physical showrooms, furniture stores can usually only display a single version of each piece, but customers often want to visualize how the same item would look in various configurations. That’s where a digital tool could really shine.
One concept I explored was creating an interactive app where users can experiment with different material options—essentially a real-time configurator. There’s a great example here [1], where if you model an object as a .obj file (possibly similar to Adam’s parametric models), you can tweak its materials and colors dynamically. IKEA seems to have something similar in production for some of their products [2].
I experimented with Adam as well, and it did a surprisingly good job. The only catch: if you try to iterate too much, it tends to alter the form of the object. My ideal version of this would involve a professional photographer capturing high-resolution images of, say, a couch. Then I’d upload them into Adam, generate realistic renders with different fabrics or finishes, and download the final variants as high-quality images to use in catalogs or ecommerce.

super interesting! thanks for sharing your generations :)
in that case wouldn't you bypass the 3d aspect altogether?
