You can also point to font files with @font-face. I use a small custom font that's only 16 KB. Although, when opening the file locally, you have to first disable local file restrictions in safari's settings before it works...

If you prefer hands-on learning, How to Design Programs is pretty good resource for the foundations, with lots of examples and exercises: https://htdp.org But learning the basics of lisp is more like a side effect, the focus is

Here is one excellent resource for all of the things you mentioned: Introduction to Computing with Geometry by Dr. C.-K. Shene https://pages.mtu.edu/~shene/COURSES/cs3621/NOTES/ When I was implementing t

I needed my own CAD setup that can draw the detailed assembly instructions as 3D vector drawings. And that can also derive the assembly order from a graph based garment representation automatically. I'm almost finished with those, so a

Yeah, morphing is really the key idea here. You don't have to make all design decisions beforehand, but can wear something for a while and then make changes based on your needs & observations. I haven't quite figured out how t

I've tried some footwear! These had a really soft rubber soles, but I've also made ones where the soles were cut from a sheet of hard Vibram rubber: https://self-assembly.fi/canvas-shoes

Yeah, paths are saved in an array where each path segment is a list of control points coupled with the corresponding path command (M, L, C). Those can be used to recreate the path item.

Interesting, I've been doing 3D SVG by storing the xyz-coordinates in a separate array and using inlined javascript to calculate & refresh the 2D coordinates of the SVG items themselves after rotation. But this means that the file

It's pretty easy to store custom instructions in plain SVG files and interpret them in with your reader. For example I have a multi-purpose laser-cutter / plotter and I use opacity for laser power, stroke weight for movement speed

Would be great if the tags field allowed freeform input instead of choosing from a set of existing tags. My preferred tags would have been Design, Fashion, Digital fabrication, Computational Creativity etc. but none were available.
