Genuary 2021 Day 24 "500 Lines"



This one started out as being a simple variant of my "no loops" piece, starting with a Bridson blue noise point set, doing a Delaunay triangulation on that to get a tri mesh, then taking the edges of that mesh to generate 500 polylines.

I then added quadratic Bezier curves to round off the pointy parts of those polylines, and the result is surprisingly pleasing. The raster version has a little bit of a Keith Haring style.

I still ought to make a tool to sort my polylines by x to decrease the amount of time the AxiDraw pen spends moving around when drawing a piece like this.



Tools Used: AxiDraw, Pentel 5mm pen
Languages Used: Python
Development Time: ~2 hours
Drawing Time: ~5 minutes
What's Generative Here: The squiggly lines are generated from edges of a triangular mesh that's generated from a random blue noise point cloud.
