Wrote a script to generate these "Iso Slice-O" drawings directly from 3D model files (with a tiiiny bit of manual SVG cleanup at the end). Ran it on some of the most popular models and I'm obsessed with the results using white ink / black paper

@gvy_dvpont Love these! What if you switched the vertical surfaces to a fill instead of an outline?

@migurski I might try it, looks awesome on the computer but I'm doing these with a pen plotter so fills aren't quite so clean - you have to crosshatch

@gvy_dvpont If you use Python I have some code I’ve used for hatching that works pretty well with solid fills and a variety of line thicknesses

@migurski oh TY! honestly I know how to do it I just haven't loved the look of previous attempts. Think I just need to play around more.

@gvy_dvpont Here’s what I’ve been using with sample output at bottom: https://gist.github.com/migurski/53212c0f4505cb41987c319f334f3995

Shapely is a geospatial library (from @sgillies) that’s helpful for reverse-buffering the linework to account for pen thickness
