Trolberg inspired architecture

This was one of my first generative art projects back in 2022, inspired by the art of Hilda comics by Luke Pearson, procedurally generating a dense town of similar buildings.

This was coded using Javascript and p5.js, using the p5.js web editor.

I also did a super-wide render for wallpaper art!

I then ported the Javascript to Python, to use with my new AxiDraw plotter, using the AxiDraw Python API.

Moving from pixels to paper introduced some challenges, for example, when plotting pixels, you can overwrite foreground objects over background objects (like the overlapping houses in this image), but you can't do that with pen on paper! So I had to figure out how to code occlusion culling, so no houses overlapped.
