This step is done !

11 hours to render this part of the final engraving :

• 19 cm width
• 60 000 strokes (sum of 134 meters)
• Pigma micron 003
• Based on a png picture of 2200 x 1600 px

Conclusion :

• Great,
• maybe need the PigmaMicron 005 for darkness,
• all details are here.
• some vibration but from hardware machine (only 15 g of pressure!)

coming next is the full engraving : 4000 x 5000 px … so vectorization failed due to RAM overhead, so i needed to migrate my server to a 32gb RAM etc.

COMING NEXT :
(Remember that there is grey level in the source picture and NOT in the final render with a single ink pencil. This is the challenge of engraving : rendering grey without grey )
