Blender-Gcode-Import VS openrndr

Thanks for mentioning. Before nozzleboss I started with a simple G-code Importer, mainly focused on rendering, too. Blenders 'curve bevel' is perfect for that. Converts 2d paths into meshes. Check the first .gif here https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

Before spending time making a blender add on check out this add on which I have been using to render my Gcode in blender https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

When I press A to select all curves, there is one curve that is slightly lighter than the rest and when I go into the properties for that curve it only applies the change to the curve that is the slightly lighter curve. Here is a link to the process I am trying to do. https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

The printing paths are imported into Blender and post-processed there. The wiki of the G-code importer for Blender has some visuals to give you an impression on how the paths can be further edited. For more experimental prints you can take a look at my nozzleboss IG

Import G-code into Blender (Gcode Importer)

-Import Gcode into Blender (Gcode Importer) -Enter Edit-mode and extrude vertices in Z-axis by layer height (needed cause sculptmode only works with faces, not 2D pathes alone) -Enter sculptmode and try different tools (you can lock the Z-axis so you don't generate non-planar paths) -Enter edit mode again and delete extruded vertices (should still be selected) -Export again with Gcode Exporter Addon

Conventional Slicer, then imported to Blender and did the sinewave curve editing there.

Thank you, the closest think right now is the docu page of my G-code Importer for Blender. It shows some manual curve editing with weightmaps inside of Blender. https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

I've been having fun making generative art for a few years and recently got the itch to write my own JS library for sketching SVGs.

This library is heavily inspired by OPENRNDR [1], which to date has been my framework of choice.

My motivation to write a JS library for SVGs came from a desire to bring the programming style I love from OPENRNDR into a language I use every day. I was also motivated to generate simple SVGs that I understood deeply because I'd like to start using a plotter soon to bring these sketches into the physical world.

The library is pretty bare-bones, but I did my best to document it thoroughly enough that a beginner could install it and draw their first sketch in as little time as possible. All the documentation, including an FAQ, is hosted in the project Wiki [2]. And yes, I do recommend p5.js for most users/beginners, but I still believe this library fills a niche.

Happy to answer any questions, or field any criticisms/notes.

I am primarily using the openrndr framework to do all of this.

Last year I wrote Kosmik, a Twitter bot for pixelized retro-style space images in Scala, but I was dissatisfied for several reasons, performance being one, so I migrated the code to Kotlin using openrndr as graphics API recently, and moved the bot to Mastodon. What do you think?

Is there a framework, library or package along the lines of Processing or OPENRNDR for Common-Lisp or Clojure etc.?

I’d also be interested in peoples replies. I know there is a creative coding framework built on it (haven’t used it though) https://openrndr.org/ .

Kotlin is very similar to Swift. OpenRNDR is a coding framework written it it. Kotlin has many of the features you speak of. Kotlin supports many of the features you ask about (or at least something similar to it).

Also have you checked out https://openrndr.org/

After trying to use Processing with Kotlin I discovered OPENRNDR. This is a new-ish creative coding framework created in Kotlin and it runs on the JVM. I'd say the performance is somewhere around what's typical of Processing (so pretty good), it also supports shader programming if you want to squeeze more out of it.
