Generative Art Python Tutorial 1 for Penplotter

I am part of the Acrylicode team and today I want to share with you how I coded the algorithm for creating this artwork.
The algorithm was written in Python, so you need a basic understanding of coding in Python. I try throughout the tutorial to explain every step thoroughly so it shouldn’t be too complicated. I also used Vsketch(link to vsketch), an art toolkit, because it provides a simple API with svg export.

If you have trouble installing vsketch, try this command after activating the virtual environment. (after you type "source venv/bin/activate")

"pip install moderngl"

4am, so glad I found this tutorial after seeing few artists designs

As a developer i found it amazing and won’t hesitate to use it 🤝

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much

When I run the command at 2:45 Python launches, but nothing pops up. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

hey, can you help me please, I have 2 questions
1 ) how can I give the canvas size like 3000x3000px
2) any way to save the image as a png everytime I run the code?

[LeonardoGPate]

which penplotter controller do you use??

[python]

Very cool. It'd look amazing if you make several as SVG files and then animate a composite of them. eg using apng 👍👍

I had to manually install moderngl after initializing vsk by usisng "pip install moderngl"

Bro, are you a spanish speaker from Colombia? Your accent sounds very latin spanish

FYI - at least for Windows users, source is not a command, and the path is different: venv/Scripts/activate

You have so long name s of variables, you should use shorter names. Exaple x_ip. It just my advice and greate video.

It is cool but dude, virtually impossible for a beginner to replicate the process, you couldve just done without trying to "teach" ...

When I type in the terminal the first line of code it does not recognize the command.
I can"t seem to figure out why.
Can anyone help me?
This is my first trials in coding
