Try Again The original Genuary sketch allowed you to move the planets around before starting the simulation, which would lead to 'fatal' configurations in a lot of cases. I added a little 'Game Over' state to it to handle this. I thought it was funny. I also know very little people got to actually

CMY 3-body simulation at 24fps Made with RSTR, a plotter and a lot of time & love. Workflow: Genuary sketch -> video -> RSTR -> plotting -> scanning -> back to video -> post -> Done! (for now) #axidraw #plottimation #madewithrstr #PlotterArt #PenPlotter #penplotart #generativeart

3-body simulation at 1200dpi Another more colorful 3-body simulation. This time showing off the crispy goodness a 1200dpi scanner brings. So much so that I decided to add some chromatic abberation in post 😅

3-body simulation plotted I made another one! This one is based on a sketch I made for Genuary 2024 (chaotic system) and shows a stable configuration for the 3-body problem. Animations are then fed into RSTR to make them plotter-ready.

Bday Boai For my birthday I got surprised by my better half @isabellasmedicine with the very first #madewithrstr hoody (to my knowledge). I had absolutely no idea this was coming and I'm very happy with it. It features a picture of our almost 3 year old joint project and I think it looks amazing.

Revisiting old pals To try out what the new RSTR could do I decided to revisit some of the older source material... If you recognize these, you've probably been here for a while. Thank you for that :) For everyone else, these are the 2 starting images I decided to ship with RSTR 1.0.

One line at a time As you might be able to see, the SVGs I generate to plot aren't exactly "optimized". Each line is drawn one after the other. Twice. Once forward. Once backward. They take quite a while to finish. I believe this one clocked in at around 12 hours total plotting time, or about 4

Back in Business The Mona plot was one in a long series of trials and errors. I ran into several walls and almost gave up on the whole RSTR project a couple of times. During that period, the little army of robots I've got doing my social media bidding decided to go on a strike. Again. I decided
