Before we send a piece for printing, we work with a computer-generated simulation. It shows the position of the nails and how the thread will look like.⠀

Some Lord of the Rings simulations for a customer from Middle-earth.
(Also Patrick Stewart)

3500-4000 nails. 70x50 and 50x70cm.

Made a time-lapse of the machine finishing off a 3700-nail piece. Satisfying!

Very happy with this simulation of Guernica, by Picasso.
It required no manual tuning and the fidelity of the thick lines took me by surprise (the algorithm is now sentient, I think!).
Producing this on a 85x170cm area would require 11k nails and 6.5Km of thread.

@zachlieberman Couldn't find white archival-quality ink so did some tests with a uni-ball pigment ink UM-153 -> https://t.co/DaCu6ufiCp
Result was ok-ish, not solid enough in some places. /sub

@adnarimnavi @YouTube I guess the beach will have to do something with it! I can send you the gcode for this 😂 https://t.co/sm1YXcLwwK it'd take... Weeks? Months?

Woody Allen introducing the new 40x60cm format!

Used 1100m of thread, 3915 nails, a 50x70cm canvas and a new revision of the algorithm. 10 hours nailing + 12 hours threading.
