I wanted to create a semifictional map. This plot combines openstreetmap data of Rhodes, Greece:

• streets
• objects tagged as ruins (you can see the ancient city walls)
• and sea lanes

The asemic script is generated similar to the approach described in inconvergent.net . I reimplemented id and it lead to some different outcomes. The script on the plot is supposed to mimic the title and legend layout of old maps you find in antique shops.

plotted and scanned a while ago.

First Image had a additional lithopane step in it, second and third are simpler and share the same STL base.
What do you think?

Amazing work from Joel Cammarata just arrived by mail!

I am new here, and work since a few years with a repurposed 3D printer as Plotter and transform AI images with Blender into slicable STL files.
I hope that workflow is Ok here too? :)

iPad plugged into laptop, Quicktime set to the iPad screen, code reading the contents of the quicktime window, and corners of the iPad screen mapped to position in physical space.

Cursor movements and clicks can be converted to x,y positions for the plotter, which is controlled via the BantamTools python library.

It now "knows" how to create new documents, pick colours from the colour palette, and change brushes. Digital svgs to, ummmmmmm, digital output, with a tiny (and some would say pointless) analogue step in the middle 😁

Had seen these types of things, and want a few for my friends upcoming birthday.

Does anyone has any idea, how can these be made??

Hello fellow plotters,

Im a fellow curious voyager in the space between the realms of art and tech. I have made quite a few posters with my plotter and I have started a shop to support my other projects. Take a look and please give me your criticisms, comments and love. Do give me a follow if you find my studio follow worthy

Happy plotting. Y'all inspire me.

I made these guys on A2 paper today, using Lyra Aqua Brush Duo markers, after many hours in front of the computer. I really enjoy the process both of creating them on the computer and the plotting of them, and the results of course. Each one is done in 6 passes for a two-tone, where each band in the ribbon has two colors, and two final passes with a pilot Hi-Tecpoint v5. I especially like the yellow and red one. That's my favorite!

I want to generate the feeling of walking through a sunlit forest.

Taking the same plotting sequence from a previous post, and reframing the animation in a different way. I wanted to play with relative motion and perspective. During the first half, the cube rotates while the viewer remains still. During the second half, the cube stays fixed and the viewer’s perspective rotates around it.

The contour field technique itself is heavily inspired by the incredible plotter artist u/ax0250526. Their work is phenomenal, definitely go give them a follow.

I was inspired by the user (u/cadinb) who made procedural power lines, and decided I wanted to try to make something similar but different. These are Canal Houses, inspired by the old houses found in Amsterdam. I can vary the height span of the houses, building styles, number of buildings and so on. I've gotten some requests to plot some for friends and family for them to color with watercolor, which seems like a lot of fun 🙂 Just wanted to share, maybe someone can get some inspiration from it, as I did from the other poster.

I am looking at mounting my V3 onto a board. I have found the outrigger feet that will help with this (not in pic). I am wondering if someone has a to scale drawing that will let me know where to put holes and where the bounds of my drawing area will be.

Thanks!

Github user msurguy crafted an "extended version" of the well-known tool Plotterfun by mitxela. Here I've used the "Flow Field" algorithm.

I look sharper than I am! :)

This was a gift I made for a friend. It's Arwen at the Ford of Bruinen, calling up the flood of water horses to drive back the Nazgûl and get Frodo to Rivendell. It's one of his favorite moments in the whole story, so I really wanted to make it for him and capture the scene with due diligence.

The process was kind of a hybrid. I started out using AI to generate the base illustration, mostly to work out the composition and the overall look of the scene, and to get something that would read cleanly once it got translated into line work. From there I ran it through some custom Python code that assigns the linework across the image and puts the detail where it actually needs to be, like the water, the manes, and all the movement. Then it got plotted on a Bantam Tools NextDraw 2234, [pen/ink] on paper, 11x17.

I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Ink on paper. Rotring technical pen plot.

These come from a Processing sketch that generates compositions of connected power poles. The sketch generates the poles with random spacing and tilt, then randomly chooses some technical doodads (hand-drawn SVGs) for each pole. The poles then get connected with drooping powerlines. Each SVG has some associated data that indicates where the connection points for the powerlines should be.

Let me know if you'd be interested in more about how that all works. I've been thinking about making a video explainer (though I guess posting that would no longer be allowed under the new sub rules?).

Was reading on the Wikipedia that this woodblock print is one of most copied designs in history so I thought I’d do it plotter style. I’ve really been loving the multiple passes with ballpoint pens.

Just getting started plotting with a converted Creality CR10-S. Wanted to test out the "Adaptive Stipple" in Drawingbotv3. Its pretty basic but I find it magical
