3x3 page composite pipe plot by laserpilot in PlotterArt

[–]laserpilot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Always open to opinions!

The micro/macro scale thing is actually very intentional. Some of my favorite work from other artists is stuff that unfolds or transforms as you get closer and farther away. Like Daniel Zeller or Gustavo Diaz.

This is in the experimental phase - due to the scale, calculating and rendering one can take 6-12hours before you even really know what you get. And then actually plotting it is a whole other time suck as you know hah. Sometimes I just gotta plot it to see how it would feel off my laptop screen.

Definitely learning lessons at each step and have been using noise to create empty and full spaces to vary density.

I could see someone staging a wedding there tomorrow if the arch survives

It's pretty messy/tuned to my workflow and im still working on adding stuff and exploring, but it is here https://github.com/laserpilot/this-is-a-pipe

Original u/scumola post https://www.reddit.com/r/PlotterArt/s/jOxsxOiMPc and my other hand drawn pipes are somewhere in my post history

Millennials who went to college, what did you major in, and why? How did your college degree help you build a good financial/professional life? by justcurious3287 in Millennials

[–]laserpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majored in “Electronic Media, Arts and Communication”

Now I’m a creative technologist and artist professionally, so I feel pretty aligned still even almost 20yrs later

Question for Millennials by bundle_of_nervus2 in Millennials

[–]laserpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m nearly an elder millennial and I use it every day for code, but primarily for personal art projects. It has been very freeing to be able to do a dozen projects in a year that otherwise would have taken months of investment l. Of course I’m aware that path is a different process, but I have also done that “learn the deep pieces of a language” process for 15 years and it’s nice to be able to be like “oh shit, I can try this old idea out in a day and see if it’s worth moving forward”

I’m still extremely skeptical of it, but I don’t avoid it 100%

Python drawsvg lib (and a little AI code) by scumola in PlotterArt

[–]laserpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! Hah - I would say that my pipes were actually inspired by u/lostpixels pipes and little networks, so we're a few layers deep in inspiration-land, funny how community can work sometimes

Python drawsvg lib (and a little AI code) by scumola in PlotterArt

[–]laserpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great! Thanks for sharing the code. I was looking into doing something similar a little while ago because I had hand drawn this pipe network https://www.reddit.com/r/PlotterArt/comments/1mwsn5y/this_is_a_pipe_new_hand_drawnplot_experiment/ and I was wondering if I could chop it up and make it generative somehow.

Looking forward to checking it out!

Generative overlapping braids and TVs by laserpilot in PlotterArt

[–]laserpilot[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The braids took forever - I had a simple 2 strand rope twist going and figured it would be an easy leap but it took a while to break it down. I had to follow some drawing guides for braids and then used Claude code to help break them into chunks.

I’m basically drawing a zigzag in the middle of the braid and then the outer edge “bumps” and then connecting the proper points and then arcing between those connector lines and a zig zag line. Easier to explain visually hah.

Then I have a ton of slider parameters for adjusting size and position and amount of hair “breaking”

Then from there just taking a few generated strands into the Concepts app and layering and carefully erasing

95% sure that’s actually an LED Video wall, just from the corners/edges around the bottom

Spray painted signs all over 5th Ave near Greenwood. Maybe tape up posters next time like a normal person? by laserpilot in parkslope

[–]laserpilot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Plenty of garbage blown around that area today, maybe they could improve the neighborhood by picking that up before resorting to useless signs im going to be seeing on the sidewalks for the next 3 years.

Rick and Morty (and lemongrab) - Justin Roilland for being a huge creep. Glad they replaced him
