Example Symmetry Plugins

AlongStroke

The previous stroke you drew is used as a template and multiple copies of the pointer are spread along it as you draw

Parameters

  • Point Spacing: The distance to space out the copies along the stroke

AutoLathe

Like spinning the mirror by hand but with precise control

Parameters

  • Speed: How fast to spin
  • Angle X: The axis tilt in the X direction
  • Angle Y: The axis tilt in the Y direction

Boids

A flock of pointers follows your hand using simple rules to control how they fly

Parameters

  • Number of copies: How many boids in the flock
  • Separation Amount: How strongly each boid tries to stay away from others
  • Alignment Amount: How closely the boids try and follow the flocks path
  • Pointer Attraction: How strongly each boid is attracted to your brush position

Ducklings

The pointers follow your brush position but each one moves towards a point where your hand was further back in time

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
  • Delay per copy: How far back in time (in frames) for each copy
  • Amount: How far between the current and past position to move towards. 0.5 is the midpoint between past and current

EllipseAround

{% embed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3JXcvarGkI" %}

Copies of your stroke forming an ellipse - with optional color shifts

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
  • Eccentricity: How elliptical the shape is
  • Axis Consistency: Controls how much the elliptical axis follows your brush position

Frame

A simple frame of points following your brush position

HoldFirstClick

{% embed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS06ssbbCi0" %}

Like Many Around except the widget always moves to where you start drawing

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once

ManyAlong

Linear copies of your stroke with optional color shifts

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
  • Distance: How far each copy is from the next

ManyAround

Radial copies of your stroke with optional color shifts

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once

MultiLathe

Autolathe but with multiple lathes.

Parameters

  • Speed: The speed the lathe is spinning
  • Angle X: The axis tilt in the X direction
  • Angle Y: The axis tilt in the Y direction

OmniLathe

Like Autolathe but you can vary the axis orientation

Parameters

  • Speed X: How fast to spin the X axis
  • Speed Y: How fast to spin the Y axis

Pole

{% embed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YxjNvCY8ak" %}

Multiple copies of your brush spaced between your left and right hand positions

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once

PolygonAround

Copies of your stroke forming an polygon

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
  • Sides: The number of sides of the polygon

RectangleAround

Copies of your stroke forming an rectangle

Parameters

  • Number of points along width: How many points along the sides
  • Number of points along height: How many points along the top and bottom
  • Spacing: The distance between each point
  • Exterior Only: Whether to create copies just around the perimeter or also fill in the middle

Spin

Multiple copies of your brush spinning around your actual brush position

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
  • Speed: How fast the extra pointers are rotating
  • Radius: The radius of the circle they are rotating around

SuperEllipseAround

Copies of your stroke forming a superellipse

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
  • n: The parameter that controls the overall shape of the superellipse
  • Eccentricity: How elliptical to make the shape
  • Axis Consistency: Controls how much the elliptical axis follows your brush position

Svg

An example of using an SVG file as a template for symmetry patterns

SvgAround

Similar to SVG but centered around the Symmetry Widget

Parameters

  • Point Spacing: The distance between each pointer around the shape

ToGuide

(Currently removed while I fix a bug)

A line of copies between a guide and the symmetry widget

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once

TooManyAround

Based on Many Around - this was originally a bug but I liked it so here it is.

Parameters

  • Copies: The number of strokes to draw at once
