I am still working on my router software, and have made a lot of changes. I have an image I rather like, but need to know if you recognize her. This one is 3k threads segments.
Please let me know! Also opinions on if it is pleasant to look at, a nice image.
Thank you so much.
Decided to try stringart as hobby. I used laser to mark pattern and pin location before starting. What do you think about outcome?
Size of A3 paper, 470 pins
a few days ago I posted a route image and asked if anyone could recognize who it was. One person did, and thanks for that. Now, I have a new router idea and need opinions on which route is better,1 or 2? Recognizably feedback also appreciated. Thanks so much...
This is interesting. I have been working on android String art app(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shaktam.stringart) for a while. String art apps' has two challenges, first is the algorithm itself, 2nd is the visualizer. Even if the algorithm produces the best string art sequence, if the visualizer code(architecture) is not done correctly, the output looks bad. In my previous post, someone shared a github link. I ran the code as python script later. The middle image is the result at 200 nails and 6000 lines. From the visual I was blown away. later I converted the sequence format and imported to the mobile app(BTW you can import sequence in txt if the format is correct or supported). The right side image is the result. Now it looks different from the original python visual. Why they do look different? the answer is variable opacity per line used in the python script. The same sequence looks messy(soft edge) in the app. Even though my app let's user to change opacity, it's architecture doesn't support the variable alpha. The right side image is just for reference, It is generated at 200 nails 5500 lines. BTW which one looks better to you?
This is the first run of the mystery woman in my other post, on the hardware. Also included, a brief tour of the hardware as I got a request to say more.
There are several problems l had today. There were a lot of pull outs of thread because I had a new canvas, new thread, etc. so I slowed the machine quite a bit to solve that for now, and am preparing a new canvas.
Also, after 1400 threads (the posted image of mystery woman is 2700 total segments) I just stopped because it became obvious the image was going to be useless, due to 2 factors. The first is I was using heavy (92wt) thread, which is thicker, and the second is that the image was very small compared to what I will be making. It is less than 1/6th the area I am targeting. As a result, the fat threads pile up on the small area, and, there you go: Black image. I'm confident the next effort will be something to look at!
Let me know if you have any question, post or pm would be great! Thanks for your time!!
