My generative/plotter art explorations, packaged as vpype plug-ins.
Section in construction.
Made with the msimage
command (Generative Design book's "complex modules"
approach). Although it looks random, the background is based on the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
Random grid with random types of fills.
Random 3-wheel spirograph patterns generated with the whlrandom
command. Here, we focus on 2- to 5-fold rotationally
symmetric curves, filtering for 'simple' ones (based on their total length).
