Finite Curve
- nico 2y agoThis is amazing It evokes the feeling of nothingness All of the shapes are “empty”, in the sense that there is no real closed-loop outer edge that contains them But I perceive them as sort of self-contained objects Thank you for sharing this, very cool
- hughesjj 2y agoI love space filling curves. Literally takes a dimension-1 object that can create any object of finite dimensions. All perimeter no area/volume. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve
- atulvi 2y agoIs this a fast TSP solver?
- NotAnOtter 2y agoI read the tech blog. It's basically a TSP solver optimizing for the longest path. Generate points based on alpha channel, generate a maximally connected planar graph derived from nodes in step 1, use DFS to draw an arbitrary path, then invert triangular inequality to make the path gradually longer. There are some special case considerations like disjoint graphs.
- Donald 2y agoThe algorithm behind this has to be super fun
- mcint 2y agoI want to do some laser etching with this format, though the density or ultimately path length might take more time than I want.
