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.

Stick around to see how those turned out with RSTR 2.0!

Scanning...

With all those new business cards, I figured it was worth revisiting the design of the little webpage that accompanies each of these cards...

Catch me in the wild and get your own unique card!

Stacks o' Cards

One card is not like the other.

Now all I need is some business.

Speaking of which... Want some fancy business cards?

Cutting Cards

This one was always meant to be turned into business cards, though it took me a while to actually 'pull the lever'.

I like it a bit too much to cut it up.

But then I plotted something I liked even better...

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 hours per layer.

I tried fiddling with settings in the tool that actually talks to the plotter (saxi), but that seemed to mess up the aesthetic too much to my liking.

So I kept it slow.
But steady.
