Just a Pattern

@Subpath Great thread and posts. Thanks. Forum says "you can upvote a user only six times per day", so sorry guys i didnt give the like i wanted meanwhile reading.

@Subpath "Forum says "you can upvote a user only six times per day",
Very curious, didn't know that.
But dont worry, if my post inspire people or
are helpful then this is fine enough

Created using:
The colorize feature in the Repeater, which can also colorize strokes with a bitmap.
(See Manual how)The Style Picker Feature, which allows you to transfer style attributes
from one group of objects to another.
You could take look at this Link

I used a shape with a multi-colored gradient to colorize a bunch of strokes using the Repeater,
and transferred the color (style)—using the new Style Picker Tool Feature— to a bunch of
other Strokes created with the Blend function.The strokes colored with the Repeater
Here the Result
-
Took a a gradient from another App with a screenshot and use
this raster graphics then to colorize a bunch of strokes with the Repeater.This time no Style Picker Feature where used.
I create a a color Palette instead from that bunch of strokes
(create Palette from selected Objects)
and colored a Swirling Lines Shape after converted it to curves
via Colorize with that new palette
-
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.
https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/4119/a-kind-of-patternnodes-for-windows-free-win-macThe 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.

Another Variation of it
-
@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 itBut 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.

-
No problem, just take your time.
I’m very interested to see how you solve this—
and I imagine other users are, too.In my own attempts, VectorStyler always distorts the shapes being duplicated;
maintaining consistent spacing between them also proves to be an issue.Here how the Result looks in Nodebox
-
@Subpath said in Just a Pattern:
This is quite easy, just use the Blend Tool
This is the specific example I was referring to for the video I plan to record.
-
I wouldnt recommend to take the Blend Tool for the first one.Made a little Tutorial how i made this one which i made in Vectorstyler now
