Explosion visualization
Hi! I create pen plotter visualizations based on explosion simulations.
Here’s my workflow:
I write Python code to simulate explosions, modeling compressible gas dynamics.
I place advecting lines on top of the simulation so that each polyline naturally follows the fluid flow.
I then use the pyaxidraw module to draw the result with a pen plotter.
I’ve uploaded more detailed videos on Instagram, so feel free to check them out if you’re interested: (https://www.instagram.com/p/DXZBz77Eb6j/?igsh=ODlvOHM5emkwMjRn)
I’ve recently started using a Rotring Isograph, and I’m looking for inks that get darker where lines overlap. I’d love to emphasize line density more clearly. If anyone has recommendations for inks that behave this way, I’d really appreciate it. Any other advice or questions are also welcome!
