New Release

It has been a while since we released, so we have quite a few features to share. Bobnik has been making PRs and I have been merging them, and adding a few of my own.

This release has some new effects, circles, SCARA GCode output and performance improvements.

Forum Discussion

The forum post, where you can comment or ask questions is here:

But, as always, feel free to post issues with bugs you find or features you think would be great.

Release Notes

New Effects 🎉

This is an expansion of the mask effect which can distort and manipulate a base shape with some neat patterns. Some simple effects can really make a pattern wilder, or more sculpted, or... IDK, use your creativity and try it out!

To use an effect or a mask, start my making a layer to effect and clicking on "New". In the modal, select one of the effects.

Noise Effect

This effect adds the Perlin Noise (similar to the Noise Shape) on top of another shape. In this first example, we apply it to a wiper, but it can be any shape underneath the effects.

Fish Eye

The fish eye effect looks like a bubble underneath the surface of your patterns.

Warp

There is a custom warp function where you can define your own math for what distortion you want, and we have made a few good previews to make some really funky patterns.

Inverted Mask

inverted_mask

This is a new function on the mask effect. It can cut parts out of your pattern. I am excited to see what you all make with it. Please share!

New Shape 🎉

Circle Packer

circles

The Circle packer is a new wiper that fills the space with circles and then automatically figures out which order to draw them in and how to retrotraverse to get to them all. Very smart stuff, Bob.

SCARA

There are a few passionate users who are using sandify with SCARA machines that don't understand they are SCARA machines. 🤷 . For these users, I was keeping a python script for converting the .thr files. But instead, We've added a SCARA output. This is for a very specific type of machine, and there are some details in the wiki: https://github.com/jeffeb3/sandify/wiki/Scara-GCode

Use arrow keys

Use arrow keys on the preview to adjust the offsets of the shape.

Guts

We spent some time working on the events and what gets calculated when. Complicated patterns, with multiple layers should be easier to create. Hopefully, you won't notice anything, but just be happier. Bob: 💯
