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! argylesmith.shop/pages/spirog...

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

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 #GameDev #TechArt

Buttons! #PenPlotter #HandMade

Flow field keychains! #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! argyle-smith.itch.io/pmbt-lite #GameDev #TechnicalArt

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 💨 #TechArt

🚨 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! #MadeWithUnity #TechnicalArt

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

We are very excited to announce: HYPERBEAT releases October 22nd!

Recycled some old unused game assets for a gif! #penplotterart #animation

png vs print for an interactive art booth that I am running tomorrow #AlgoArt

Super excited for my first local booth! I'm bringing my pen plotter and games I've made for people to make their own algo-art 🖼

Website 0.2 is up! It is finally not super embarrassing Next features on the list are- More playable things GIFs / Art for all pages Better gallery solution argylesmith.shop

When its today

That's today

Red Sharpie and Blue Pilot G-2 Pen #PenPlotterArt #Animation

18x24in perlin noise based flow field It orange

Animation created in Unity then rendered using pen and paper (Then composited in Unity) #MadeWithUnity #PenPlotterArt

WIP animation plot 👀

Several pieces I plotted a while ago by layering different outputs from my Unity tool #AbstractArt #PenPlotterArt

Super simple animation, but since it is 4 seconds (48 frames) long it needed to be spread across 2 animation sheets (pieces of paper) Both pages in the comments

@cheem.bsky.social thank you for OKC being a spot on your tour 🙏 I made you a gif

I compiled a few pages of animation into a single thing 👀 The hue is just offset by the shader after each page

Same base animation as my last post but filled in with circles instead of scanlines I'm each render's infill is random, but I reset the seed each frame to get a random but temporally consistent animation 🤓

Testing using different infill settings for different values

New page on my site for showing of real time rendering stuff I work on Rn it just shows a test for a mesh based particle system I'm working on. Technically it's rendering 250k particles and it runs at least OK on mobile 👀 argylesmith.shop/pages/real-t...

It took like a week, but I am finally alive again after #OpenSauce It was super cool to talk thru my Raster Image -> SVG Unity tool with so many engaged and interesting people! It was a huge confidence boost, even if it was a ton of work

WIP of a more simple geometric piece I like the colors, but I think I might need to write a little thing to suggest color palettes. I tend to do the same handful of colors a lot

I plotted ~100 business cards! Most of the stuff I plot is 1/1 so it's been fun seeing the same design drawn with different pens, and optimizing the deisgn to plot more quickly #PenPlotterArt #Printing

Just finished my first real business card test! I'm not 100% happy with them, but I am like maybe 90% happy

I'm going to make a few more GIFs of sayings like this one. And I'd love some suggestions! #penplotterart #animation #animatedGIF

Some noisy lines #PenPlotterArt #Animation

I am going to be showing my work at #OpenSauce this year! My booth is going to be focused around using Unity as Art software instead of a game engine. But there may or may not be an event exclusive game to play, and prints for sale as well 👀 #MadeWithUnity #PenPlotterArt

I'm liking how this one is turning out :) #PenPlotterArt #WIP
