Gradient and Variation

Create a Size Gradient Pattern

Use a Size gradient when opening size should change across the Canvas while the base Layout remains recognizable. This guide uses one Point control and Clamp mapping.

Density Gradient Guide

Density Gradient changes how pattern positions are distributed across the Canvas. Unlike Size Gradient, it can change local spacing and the number of retained openings rather than only…

Gradient and Variation Overview

Gradient changes selected properties across a Mesh Editor pattern according to position. Start with one dimension and one control so the cause of every visible change remains clear.

Perturbation and Displacement Effects

Effects change the positions or orientation of an existing Layout. Use them after the base pattern is correct, because extreme settings can create overlaps, narrow bridges, and complex…

Rotation and Shape Gradients

Rotation and Shape are separate Gradient dimensions. Rotation changes orientation across the pattern. Shape changes instances from the base Shape toward a target Shape.

Size Noise and Pattern Rules

Size Noise and Pattern Rule are two ways to vary opening size without drawing a spatial Point or Line field. Noise produces repeatable randomized values. Pattern Rule repeats…
