I found out about this gorgeous new French animated feature today.

Western 2D animation never fully died; amongst other places, it lives on in France where places like Gobelins l'école de l'image have pushed the art form to spectacular heights.

Had a couple of hours on the weekend to play more with #houdini #penplotter tooling. Added visualization of plot progression and pen-up movement.

Building #penplotter tooling in #houdini to get a sense if my plot will likely 'work'. Starting with simple placement of vector art on a canvas and applying pen characteristics.

My first #penplotter experiments were fun, but I feel like I want more control over the process. Example: Not too happy about those lines getting all smoodged together - guess I need a finer pen or a bigger canvas or paper with less bleed...

... or build myself a prototype environment for testing.

Got myself a new hobby: #penplotter
Just wondering: Are there any empirical values on how much plotting distance (at a decent speed) one might get out of a given brand pen?
