    Regardless of where folks are located, I haven’t seen anything that suggests that affecting things in the physical realm is of equal difficulty to the digital realm, so it still makes sense to me that purely digital improvements are made faster.

    Re: robot painter

    I actually found this video which is fascinating, although the pieces it seems to make are… currently mediocre. Idk if you’ve found any videos on machines leveraging brush angle/rotation - using “techniques” like these are actually what interests me about this space and why I differentiated it from “printing”

      The robot seems to use angle at least a bit, I have no idea how oil actually works so don’t ask me to judge its proficiency. All I know is that my tablet has angle and rotation and I’m not using it because sculpting doesn’t. Never went beyond pencil when it comes to 2d and realised that an outline is not a planar cut through an object not while practising drawing but while writing a shader.
