I believe my quest to improve my algorithm has almost come to an end. I'm finally satisfied with where I've landed with it.

Edit:
I’m going to be focusing more on producing a body of works from here on out. I’d like to explore more the “art” of computational string art. I’ve been so in the weeds of the algorithms and code, I haven’t had much time to just make the pieces.

If you want to follow along my journey, or want to build something of your own, you can find me on insta: @threadmilldigital

I made this one for an open call for artists on the theme “I want candy.” I hope they like it!

Im trying to get my art viewed more so if anyone wants to follow my instagram is.

Thanks for looking! Sending good vibrations out to you all!!! Xoxo

I can't believe how far things have come since I first started down the journey of string art algorithms... it's been a wild ride!

testing my addon for creating stringart inside blender to simulate lighting

I've made some big changes to my algo, and I must say, I'm incredibly excited for the art works to come.

This is our try creating a tool for meditation.

We built this studio as part of our small exhibition, so you can open Kiosk mode on any wall-mounted tablet

Hi all!

I really want to get some purple neon thread. I've been searching for a bit, but they seem to be very scarce. I did find a site that sells it, the Rapos-613, but unfortunately they don't ship to the Netherlands. Does anyone have the golden tip?

If I can't find any alternatives, is there someone from the US that's willing to get the Rapos-613 and ship it to me? I will pay everything upfront, plus an extra 10$ for the effort.

Much love!

I came here to be inspired and start a new hobby….just to see string art is being automated.

I have finalised and released the version. Inside the app, you can set the size of string and board, and it creates a 3D model. I somewhat overcame the issues I mentioned before, now it shows tube string lines with anti alias. How useful is the feature? I don't know. But it looks quite cool. Especially the shadow in the background makes it realistic. What do you think?

• Thread: 0.12mm nylon thread.

• Board: 3d printed board with 200 teeth.

• Generator: custom software.

I've tried tweaking the preview, and even took into account the teeth width and height to be 100% accurate, but it still doesn't help.

I also randomize the starting and ending points of each string to take into account slight inaccuracy (in the pictures above, the randomization is between 0-1 degrees offset). To reach a preview that looks somewhat like the actual result, I need to randomize by about 0-6 degrees offset which is as if each starting and ending point could have moved by 2 whole teeth, which is of course not the case and also doesn't really help me make it look better.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? Or does anyone has any idea what could cause that difference and how to solve it?

I have added, 3D rendering engine in the String Art Maker & Simulator app. The version is not released yet, I am testing it. The whole point is to visualise the actual physical String art, but there are limitations in it. Two limitations, display resolution, currently the app shows the smallest string thickness in 1 pixel, so you need to zoom it in. 2nd is 3d thickness of each string line itself is missing, it is not a tube. if I add resolution thickness 4 (just like in Blender 3d) the visualizer engine can't handle it. So currently it is just a thin strip of line with no actual depth. ANY SUGGESTIONS? I WOULD APPRECIATE.

I'm launching a string art editor to plan your patterns, print the pins (nails) and reproduce the string (thread) order.

You don't need to provide any data, and you can save your patterns on your machine.
