Zoltan Erdokovy Posts: 204 Filters: 24	Hey folks, I've been struggling with the following problem for a while so I figured I'd run this by the community So, I have a black and white mask like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g3jUp...sp=sharing I'd need to produce a fatter, cruder version of it, resembling a shape as if it was cut out of a magazine or something: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O0-eo...drive_link Note the straight lines and that it entirely covers the original shape. I'd appreciate any tips on how to achieve this.

Zoltan Erdokovy Posts: 204 Filters: 24	Hehe thanks Ramlyn, this was my first attempt as well. I also tried driving a flat stones noise with the mask but still not quite what I'm after.

Zoltan Erdokovy Posts: 204 Filters: 24	Thanks but the polygonal look is very important, curvy contours don't fit the context it's going to be used in.

Rachel Duim So Called Tortured Artist Posts: 2498 Filters: 188	This is the best I could come up with using 8 Cells, union and intersection rules and scaling. Probably too jagged, but an interesting exercise. If it is possible to get this working better, I think using tangents to follow the edges would work better... Math meets art meets psychedelia.

Zoltan Erdokovy Posts: 204 Filters: 24	Hehe exactly, I've tried many different ways and I too keep arriving at this sort of result: straight lines but a bunch of corners are sticking out. I have no idea how to snip them off. Hm, I'll see what I can use tangents/derivatives for...

Zoltan Erdokovy Posts: 204 Filters: 24	Nice. Techno noise driven by the mask?

Zoltan Erdokovy Posts: 204 Filters: 24	They are indeed on the right path. I tested derivatives but I couldn't use them to produce anything better than what was already posted here. I'll spend tonight on this but on Monday I'll have to start manually drawing the masks. :\
