sketches

My collection of personal plotter generative art sketches made with vsketch. Most can be run and interacted with using the following command:

$ vsk run hline

Some additional dependencies might be needed, including but not limited to:

• vpype-explorations
• hatched
• vpype-text

Though I wrote it, note that this code doesn't necessarily match my standards :)

The code is available under the MIT license and the artworks under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

warp

Hyperspace jump, 200-frame loop made automatically with a couple of Raspberry Pi, some LEGOs and a Doit script.

Highly compressed/dithered, 40-fps GIF:

Other versions:

• Uncompressed 4-fps GIF here.
• YouTube version at the intended 120 fps here.

fill_test

Details here.

machine_typography

17 letters for 17 recipients. This is my winter '21-'22 #ptpx contribution.

postcard

Helper sketch to create postcards with addresses and a custom message. Very useful for #ptpx.

Instructions:

1. Create the following files next to the sketch script:

• addresses.txt: all the addresses, separated by two new lines
• header.txt: header text (typically, your address)
• message.txt: postcard message, may contain $FirstName$, which will be replaced as you expect

2. Run the sketch: vsk run postcard
3. Adjust the parameters and your message until everything looks good, then save a configuration (my_config)
4. Export all SVGs: vsk save --config my_config --param addr_id 0..8 postcard (adjust the address ID range as needed)

liquid_neon

Small experiment which combined the neon module sets with some deformation filter that would eventually become the squiggles command.

drift_poly

My design for early 2021 #ptpx. The config for the 9 cards I made are included in the repo.

dots

Just a bunch of dots drawn with vsk.point() on a regular grid. Sometime they are skipped, sometime in a different color.

random_lines

That's 500k Perlin noise values obtained in a single call of noise().
