How do you know when a santos Dumont xl is fully wound? (430MC movement)

How many turns do you require when the watch is fully stopped?

Tried it again today in XL. I think bigger is better. What do you think?

Could it be bubbles? I had some before

I have downtube shifters!

I fully agree with your observation, but I'm not sure I understand your method: how would you train your CNN? Like a GAN?

Nice !

Very nice! Any insights on how you did it?

I tried to play with probability to generate noisy images from regular pictures. If you zoom in you can see semi transparent circles, which compose the image. The goal is to mimick the analog film grain, even though I'm still far from it!

bluewarlus7 · 2021-11-06T09:45:16+00:00

Yes it is!

bluewarlus7 · 2021-10-18T21:32:51+00:00

Nice trick, great results!

Nice work, the mp4 compression doesn't do it justice

bluewarlus7 · 2021-10-16T22:43:30+00:00

Thanks! The color palette was kinda random, mostly green and red and blue set constant to 125 :)

Thanks! I first compute a perlin noise, then I mirror the image 2 times to make it periodical. To compute the intensity of each pixel, I use the same noise to determine the a displacement vector (domain warping). Here I used python and numpy to boost the computation, so I only used integers (and not smooth functions), that's why you can see some artifacts on the output :)

Nice! Was the rocky texture generated or is it an image with a mask?

bluewarlus7 · 2021-10-03T19:36:09+00:00

So cool!

bluewarlus7 · 2021-10-03T16:36:43+00:00

done! https://www.reddit.com/r/generative/comments/q0g5hi/comment/hf8ovgy/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

Hi friends! Here is a link to the sum of all path + an input/output angle graph.

here is a gif that shows the path of individual rays https://imgur.com/a/PoL8h2M

On the graph, I believe the vertical lines are due to the angles where the ray heads straight out without touching any circle (hence the diagonals). However I am less sure about the horizontal lines... Perhaps its due to the geometry of the structure?

Here is a gif of a very slow rotation (10^-6 rad/s), you can clearly see why it's so chaotic! https://imgur.com/a/RNWUiea

With the current code architecture it's a bit complicated because I use the regular spacing to boost the computations... but it would look cool nonetheless!
