Example Symmetry Plugins

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

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

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

PointSymSpin

Works like activating Multimirror but the extra pointers spin around your brush position

Parameters

(todo)

Pole

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

StrokePoints

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

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
