      Made in Vectorstyler, recreate a pattern i found on the Internet
      mine look a bit different but i am fine with that

      .
      For anyone who is interested, you need to split the Line
      in different pieces to create this pattern

        I more or less replicated a pattern I found online.
        I couldn't resist using the "Along Stroke" feature
        in VectorStyler's gradient editor.

          This was inspired by "string art"; I wanted to experiment with creating it
          as vector graphics and applying gradients to the individual paths to see
          what kind of patterns would emerge.

          The String Art was made in Nodebox because its very easy to
          create Point/Node Pattern with it.

          The coloring was created in VectorStyler; which allows to create gradients along a path
          and allows them to be applied to the design's paths using the "Style Picker" group function.

              @Subpath These graphics look quite unique. I’m curious: can VectorStyler create them at the moment?

                I think some of the Designs would be possible in Vectorstyler
                all you need is a straight Line, rotate it a bit and copy and repeate it

                But i think it is way easier to do it in Nodebox because one would have more Options
                when you could set single Points and connect those Points with a Line i dont think
                that Vectorstyler could set single points.

                To set single points and connect them its very easy in Nodebox. (Nodebox is free, PC and Mac
                in the mean time there is also a Version for Silicon based Macs )
                All you need is a Path and a Point Node which say how much Points a Path should have.
                This way you could create all kind of Point Patterns and connect them.
                .
                .
                Here how the base Structure is made

                .
                .

                and here the whole Design

                  Some additional notes regarding Points in NodeBox:

                  Points serve not only to connect lines or paths.
                  They can also be used to specify positions for shapes or designs.

                  And since this all is Node-based in Nodebox, it is very easy to replace
                  one shape with another or to modify the design.

                  Not to forget that Nodebox is a pretty good compainion to Vectorstyler
                  NB has .SVG and PDF Export and you could import .SVGs

                    @Subpath This is a node-based program, which I’m afraid won’t work for me. Just like creating materials in C4D, it requires connecting nodes. This kind of workflow isn’t my strong suit.

                      No problem if it doesn't work for you or isn't a good fit.

                      I only use it for specific tasks myself. Creating vector graphics using nodes certainly
                      has its merits and its fun to use. I didn't find the basic principles hard to learn—and
                      I’m really not the brightest bulb.

                        The design was created using Nodebox (which is free).
                        I tried to copy and scale it within VectorStyler, but I couldn't find
                        a way that produced a good result.

                        However, the coloring was done in VectorStyler—and this is where
                        the "Style Picker Group" feature really shines. The design consists of 80 objects;
                        I created a single stroke, applied a gradient along a path, and then duplicated
                        it until I had 80 copies.

                        Finally, I grouped the design elements and the strokes, and then applied the styles
                        to the whole set using the Style Picker.
