      @monsterfox This reminds me of the effect/trick you can achieve using Compound layers and contour tool in Affinity Designer. Afraid I don't know VectorStyler well enough if similar is possible.

        @Jono Is this AD file the final effect? Can you share it? I'd like to know the detailed production details, thank you.

            @Jono Thank you. Your method uses circles to create a blending effect. It's simple, but requires stitching and is a bit tedious.

              Achieving this metaball/Truchet tile effect seems like the easiest step to take.
              To get that halftone effect too is, at least, where my brain stop working.
              .
              .
              @Li-Xiao , did a Tutorial a while ago which works via the Repeater.

              Here the Link
              https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/3915/creating-a-truchet-tiles-using-repeater
              .
              .
              Just for inspiration. Here's a video from the Paragraphic YouTube
              channel showing how to create a similar pattern. I mentioned Paragraphic
              in another tread already.

              Here the Link to the video

              A search on Youtube "Metaball pattern", "Blob Pattern", "Truchet pattern"
              may also be helpful.

                Maybe Li Xiao's method is indeed needed to complete this. Your information is very helpful. It's likely a combination of halftone and Truchet pattern. You can also take a look at that video.

                  Yes, doing things that way would be time consuming to say the least!

                  I'm going to look at the Repeater videos and resources (thanks Li-Xiao). I know I'm missing out so much of what VS can really do.

                    No need to worry 🙂
                    Even if you know much more about VectorStyler
                    you will still miss Features.

                    Because its such a deep rabbit hole 🙂

                      @Subpath This damned program—I’ve been using it for a year, and the more you use it, the more you realize there’s so much you don’t understand. I’ve never come across this in any other program. It’s a bottomless pit, haha.

                        Because I like to explore, find new things, new paths, and be surprised.
                        I am in heaven with VS. ☺

                          @Subpath Okay, if explorers find any interesting features, remember to share them. I'm following in your footsteps.
