New pins!

My old pins required gluing, and I hate gluing shit. So I modeled my own snap fit base to use with my plotted flow fields. And I'm finally happy with how they look and work :)

#PenPlotterArt #3DPrinted

First try at 3D printed screen screen printing! It was maybe an hour from starting on the .STL to having "finished" patches

I need to iron the silk screen before printing the mask on it and play with print settings to make a better screen next time. But overall they are pretty okay

I love the look of these low sample rate - high rotation spirographs. Straight lines but curves 🤯

#penplotterart #spirograph

I jammed together a little tool for drawing spirographs with my pen plotter! I would still consider it super beta. But it works and it's up on my site

I want to make it (and future tools) generally useful so feedback is appreciated!

I set up a new area to take photos and I'm pretty happy with the lighting :)

These were made the same(ish) way using my Unity tool and represent something closer to what I would want a big batch to come out looking like

(Altho I realize this much color variation is impractical for a single large batch)

I finally got my A0 plotter set up well enough to batch plot stuff! 36 4x6in prints at once 🙏

New outline rules kinda rule

accidental crazy looking flower

I made an example shader in Godot that showcases my approach to mesh based particle systems

This is just supposed to be a starting point / proof of concept that they work in any engine with a little bit of work

#PenPlotterArt

I released the very first version of my particle mesh toolset!

To oversimplify it lets you create real-time particle effects, with just a mesh and a shader!

Just added support for multi-segment particles to my particle tool, the fur donut you see is just made of single segment quads

But now I can make the hairs longer and blow in the wind 💨

🚨 Goated game alert 🚨

My friend Alice has been working on this for years and it turned out amazing!

🔥

I have been working on bundling nodes that all PM system use as sub-graphs. I'm really proud of how simple the graph view can be now

#GameDev #TechnicalArt

I've been working more on my particle mesh tool kit, and I just unlocked fur!

For someone of few words, Blu had lots to say:
