Beautiful shot!
Damn. I need to go home and think about my life.
Not the spacing, but it affects the width of the lines.
Another anodized titanium piece - this one is playing with line work. The color variation is from varying dwell time, which changes for each hexagon in a rolling pattern, as well as from the interactions between the hexagons.
Exactly - my "pen" is a stainless steel nail in a 3d printed housing.
I make the print by anodizing - I have a pen plotter I converted for this and I use the cathode as my 'pen' to print the image.
Thank you!
Very similar! Both colors are formed by oxide layers on the surface, I think with stainless steel it's a mixture of iron and chrome oxides. In the case of titanium there is only one oxide, TiO2, which is transparent crystal (in thin forms). The TiO2 layer is thin, on the order of hundreds of nanometers so the colors you see are a result of light waves constructively and destructively interacting with the transparent layer of TiO2 on the surface of the titanium sheet.
First post here - I’ve been experimenting with creating art by selectively anodizing titanium. Patterning anodized titanium isn’t new, but this process allows me to create full pictures, which I think is the first time this has ever been done.
This piece started off as a photo of a beach at sunset that I color mapped into the anodized Ti spectrum and printed.
Flawless logic, fantastic post
When training you'll want way more VRAM than you need to run inference - get a 90 series GPU for the memory.
