This is really cool! I like the way some recede too. Is the z noise based?

Genuary 30: abstract map

Finally made it through my Genuary prompts and looking forward to expanding on some of the ideas I got from those prompts.

genuary 27: make something interesting with no randomness or noise or trig

For this one I used the digits of pi to dictate which of the ten tiles would be used. Tile 3 for the first, 1 for the second, 4, and so on for all 130 tiles.

(also you can probably accomplish the same with just a point, but I like the small circle because I can see it easier in Inkscape and line up my ink or paint tray accordingly, and it has the added benefit of picking up more ink.)

2/2 copy paste the same small circle in the same place before each block and then be sure to set the axidraw to strictly follow vector order and it should make that dip before going back to each block. Not sure if that makes sense.

Hey Joel. My pen dipping is written in the code, but you can absolutely accomplish this with Inkscape. I think if you just make a small circle off paper (change doc properties to be slightly larger than actual paper so the machine will go there) before each β€œblock” you can accomplish the same result

The one here is now made by @bantamtools.bsky.social. And some of my videos are sped up a little but you can adjust the speed of the machine. πŸ‘

Genuary 20: generative architecture.

This one is a 3D variation on my tectonic program. Similar to my β€œmicroterraces” series, it utilizes WEBGL , and as a result shares the complication of converting a raster graphic into a vector graphic.

Decided to two tone this generative architecture plot and it’s really popping!

Yes I’m still working. It’s been a long few weeks and I’m still testing something new, but gonna deliver soon.
