Advanced Setups 06 - Yarn Art Using Metropolis Hastings Sampling
Added 2021-09-02 13:34:09 +0000 UTCPreface: Originally I planned on something different for today, but recording the theory of that one takes way longer than anticipated, so here's another setup I quite like...
Stumbled upon a tweet by Keenan Crane and had to try this: Yarn Art using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. It's one of those algorithms whose name sounds so intimidating it must be a super complex technique... Turns out it is easier than expected!
In this tutorial we'll build a setup to turn images into yarn art using Metropolis-Hastings sampling.
