Can someone please guide me how to make this using the lightburn? i know the software is built for lazer printing. but i have a video of the artist he always uses this software for the artwork.
Video ( https://dzen.ru/video/watch/66d4c9377fa01b04363877db )
I have learned how to navigate lightburn i just need to know how i can create these circle dots as him. i have tried using Dither,Jarvis all the presets but i cannot get circle dots.
Can somebody please help me? i have a very innovative idea to use this art in. And the artist from pinterest however is not responding to me
From what little the video shows, I think the dot / circle creation happens in an external program. The output of that program, probably an SVG image, is then imported into LightBurn to control the laser.
The size of each dot / circle and their spacing depends on the grayscale value of the original image, which is not something LightBurn seems capable of doing.
I’d like to be proven wrong: it’s a nice technique!
Ahh the mystery continues. but yea i also agree with you the way the dots are laid out it doesnt seem like the whole process is being done from lightburn the artist must be using another program alongside it.
But which program? Hopefully somebody from the forum can figure out this mystery.
It’s the halftone algorithm used by newspapers and offset-printing. I guess you need to prepare the graphics that it only contains a few lines and very few shades, then something like this might work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usDDwwraaRk
Just messed around with the display, and found Style=Circle and Outline=Checked produced open circles. Unfortunately, there was nothing that produced Donuts.
Still, it is very interesting and worth investigating.
Pretty sure it’s hand drawn; I’d do it with a graphics tablet (or a regular tablet) and photoshop, setting brush size to be controlled by pen pressure; It doesn’t look like it’s automated, as the dots aren’t equally spaced, nor fit on a regular pattern.
Donuts? I don’t see them in the initial image. Or I don’t understand what this means.
But still, the algorithm does not produce the same result as the dots are in a grid, not distributed as in the templates.
Darn geriatric eyes! I don’t see donuts either now.
Googled “hirovasutra” and found more examples. Maybe an Adobe, Corel, or GIMP plug-in? Maybe with a light pen on a light sensitive tablet? One thing appears for sure to me, his work is all digital and not paint on a canvas.
His pinterest page has tons and tons of vectors like this, so i dont think it takes him more than 10-20 mins to make a design. After input from this thread i think we are certain there 2 steps involved in his work.
An external software (probably photoshop) is used to fine tune the image according to the grayscale needed.
Final Image is then rendered by Lightburn.
i also noticed he saves all the images in .svg file, is it possible to save svg from lightburn?
I wrote an implementation of Weighted Voronoi Stippling. When cleaning up and documenting my (crappy) code to post, I found several better implementations
pretty slow, but works.
very fast, different algorithm, so looks less “voronoi”-ish
haven’t tried, touchdesigner looks interesting tho; this specific one is a windows only implementation, couldn’t be bothered to reboot!
For the image I posted, I first converted to greyscale, inverted it and cranked the contrast up then filled a white background.This it to take into account the white on black vs black on white.
Ran through 50 iterations, tweaking various parameters like min and max dot size, number of points etc.
finally, invert again( or export directly as svg, as that’s how lightburn would need it anyway)
My implementation takes about 5 minutes per run; the Rougier verion is a couple of minutes, the
LindeBuzoGrayStippling version is a matter of seconds,
