I have been working on my process for these for the past 6 months and I am finally happy with the final pieces and my workflow for making them! I am adding them to my store today with a comment box so people can tell me what colors / textures they want, or they can leave it blank for a random pack

I'm finally working on my particle tech again and I am really happy with how it's going :)

I've been working on easy to assemble hexagon magnets! They are 3D printed and then wrapped in laminated paper and pressed together using printed hand tools

New pins! My old pins required gluing, and I hate gluing shit. So I modeled my own snap fit base to use with my plotted flow fields. And I'm finally happy with how they look and work :) #PenPlotterArt #3DPrinted

First try at 3D printed screen screen printing! It was maybe an hour from starting on the .STL to having "finished" patches I need to iron the silk screen before printing the mask on it and play with print settings to make a better screen next time. But overall they are pretty okay

I love the look of these low sample rate - high rotation spirographs. Straight lines but curves 🤯 #penplotterart #spirograph

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

I jammed together a little tool for drawing spirographs with my pen plotter! I would still consider it super beta. But it works and it's up on my site I want to make it (and future tools) generally useful so feedback is appreciated! argylesmith.shop/pages/spirog...

I set up a new area to take photos and I'm pretty happy with the lighting :)

I finally got my A0 plotter set up well enough to batch plot stuff! 36 4x6in prints at once 🙏

I made an example shader in Godot that showcases my approach to mesh based particle systems This is just supposed to be a starting point / proof of concept that they work in any engine with a little bit of work #GameDev #TechArt

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

I released the very first version of my particle mesh toolset! To oversimplify it lets you create real-time particle effects, with just a mesh and a shader! argyle-smith.itch.io/pmbt-lite #GameDev #TechnicalArt

Just added support for multi-segment particles to my particle tool, the fur donut you see is just made of single segment quads But now I can make the hairs longer and blow in the wind 💨 #TechArt

🚨 Goated game alert 🚨 My friend Alice has been working on this for years and it turned out amazing!

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

I have been working on bundling nodes that all PM system use as sub-graphs. I'm really proud of how simple the graph view can be now #GameDev #TechnicalArt

I've been working more on my particle mesh tool kit, and I just unlocked fur! #MadeWithUnity #TechnicalArt

Super excited for my first local booth! I'm bringing my pen plotter and games I've made for people to make their own algo-art 🖼

Several pieces I plotted a while ago by layering different outputs from my Unity tool #AbstractArt #PenPlotterArt

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Super simple animation, but since it is 4 seconds (48 frames) long it needed to be spread across 2 animation sheets (pieces of paper) Both pages in the comments

@cheem.bsky.social thank you for OKC being a spot on your tour 🙏 I made you a gif

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

I compiled a few pages of animation into a single thing 👀 The hue is just offset by the shader after each page

031

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Same base animation as my last post but filled in with circles instead of scanlines I'm each render's infill is random, but I reset the seed each frame to get a random but temporally consistent animation 🤓

New page on my site for showing of real time rendering stuff I work on Rn it just shows a test for a mesh based particle system I'm working on. Technically it's rendering 250k particles and it runs at least OK on mobile 👀 argylesmith.shop/pages/real-t...

It took like a week, but I am finally alive again after #OpenSauce It was super cool to talk thru my Raster Image -> SVG Unity tool with so many engaged and interesting people! It was a huge confidence boost, even if it was a ton of work

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

WIP of a more simple geometric piece I like the colors, but I think I might need to write a little thing to suggest color palettes. I tend to do the same handful of colors a lot

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

I plotted ~100 business cards! Most of the stuff I plot is 1/1 so it's been fun seeing the same design drawn with different pens, and optimizing the deisgn to plot more quickly #PenPlotterArt #Printing

Guy Smith @argyle-smith.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Just finished my first real business card test! I'm not 100% happy with them, but I am like maybe 90% happy

I'm going to make a few more GIFs of sayings like this one. And I'd love some suggestions! #penplotterart #animation #animatedGIF
