trefoil knot with a twist, making it one path.
unfolder.app is great software. I added a little extra challenge by generating the obj faces inside-out, oops.

Auditory intelligence!
(Which makes me think that as an assistive technology, a microphone app with level meter / rolling time plot of pops could be helpful for folks that can't hear.)

@joeycastillo@mastodon.social Wondering if solar + capacitor would be feasible to power a board like that, like my old Casio watch.

@spiralganglion@merveilles.town how did you guess? ;)
- make a bike that builds up from a set of points like rearHub, frontHub, crank (not the first way I would parameterize a bicycle, but it makes step 2 easier)
- drive those points through a simplex noise field

want to be riding the bike? i played with parametric bodies based on the same initial points. imagining a parade of sorts.
any polyrhythmic nerd rock duos need a parametric animated music video?

I wanted to render this to try Blender Cycles on the 2025 GPU that I put into a friend's retired 2020 PC. What else is fun with excess local compute these days?

Cuttle can export 3D now, so here's the same curve extruded and brought into #Blender for material, lights, and animation.
There's a disconnect though... I'd like to figure out how Cuttle's parameters could also be animated in Blender.

I have a "Shadow" modifier in Cuttle that can do pseudo-3D. Here's a growing fractal vase, Sierpinski curve.

Amazing Race Suomi burned some of their contestants last year. I'm amazed that they didn't sue the producers.

How does GPS compare to the LF radio signal for setting a clock? (In the context of DIY projects.)

This @steveruizok@mas.to -inspired thread (hey!) was faux-scrappy, composed and shared after I'd figured it out.
