Thanks! That’s exactly it on the color, I think it’s a combination of the surface roughness of the titanium plate and tiny variations in the anodization layer itself that give it that look.

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy them, I’ll keep posting!

It is, I’ve got it hanging in a local gallery at $1k US. If that price didn’t scare you off I’d be open to negotiating over DM!

It is somewhat closer to traditional photography, but it’s using an electrochemical process to create the colors. I’m so sorry I can’t tell you more details right now, I’ll quote my comment on details below. Once I file a patent on this I’ll make a detailed post here on my process. Assuming it even gets granted I intend to make it free for individuals (but not corporations) to use.

So I’m going to just say it’s an electrochemical anodization process for now. The detail comes from a new process I’ve been developing over the last month or so that I’m going to be filing a patent on soon. I’ll be happy to share with you all once I’ve done so, but I the idea of Elon Musk maybe seeing one of these posts and using my process to make a fleet of printed titanium cyber trucks using my process would make me sad.

No worries, it’s very niche! In titanium means I’m “printing” an anodization (protective oxide layer) on a titanium surface. Titanium and Niobium have a unique property the oxide layer that forms on their surfaces is transparent, and extremely thin (think <1000 nanometers). The colors come from the incoming light constructively and destructively interfering in that oxide layer, so there are no pigments or dyes used in the process.

The premise is she’s a prostitute who found a legal loophole, she doesn’t charge for sex she charges for the condom.

When training you’ll want way more VRAM than you need to run inference - get a 90 series GPU for the memory.

Beautiful shot!

Damn. I need to go home and think about my life.

Not the spacing, but it affects the width of the lines.

Exactly - my “pen” is a stainless steel nail in a 3d printed housing.

I make the print by anodizing - I have a pen plotter I converted for this and I use the cathode as my ‘pen’ to print the image.

Thank you!

Very similar! Both colors are formed by oxide layers on the surface, I think with stainless steel it’s a mixture of iron and chrome oxides. In the case of titanium there is only one oxide, TiO2, which is transparent crystal (in thin forms). The TiO2 layer is thin, on the order of hundreds of nanometers so the colors you see are a result of light waves constructively and destructively interacting with the transparent layer of TiO2 on the surface of the titanium sheet.

Flawless logic, fantastic post
