  1. This was an interesting problem to work on (back in 2017): A visualization of a path planner for 3D printing (FDM) a single layer/mesh structure of a multi-layer textile. Two setups of the same path strategy which optimized for longest continuous sub-paths and minimum rapids (distance without filament extrusion) between sub-paths. The planner supported six strategies in total, incl. optimizing for straight sub-paths and minimum amounts of "recent" crossings (to allow filament to cool down prior to crossing existing sub-paths)...

    Submitted here for #genuary18: Unexpected path. Draw a route that changes direction based on one very simple rule.

  2. #genuary18 prompt: What does wind look like?
    #genuary22 prompt: Gradients only.

    Looks more like a plant or urchin than wind, but this is where I ended up 🤷🏻‍♂️

    This is a breakneck pace. I'm falling behind the submissions, but hopefully things will get smoother from now on.

  4. Genuary 2025 Day 18: "What does Wind look like?"

    A cool breeze is flowing into my window
    Brings blue air from the moon outside
    Seeking warmth from the fire
    Dissolving in the heat

    A deceivingly simple animation in Tooll3 for this nice prompt... :-)
