MadJik Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Hexagonal Grid What's this? This is a plugin under Effect/Render menu. It allows you to create a hexagonal grid. The grid is centered on the middle of the picture (or selection). Oh, BTW, thanks to Boltbait for anti-aliasing code... Download it!

BuzzKill Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks MadJik! I've often thought something similar to this should be included in PdN as a Fill Style. I found a small bug in it... Canvas size = 400x400 Also, if you leave the canvas size at default (800x600), the same bug can be reproduced if you change the Size to 134 and the Brush width to 10.

MadJik Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Hexact! Reload the DLL, should be ok now... I've seen this case for center but not for right... Sorry for the trouble! BTW: Thanks all for your comments. Scoop: I'm working on version 2 : choose horizontal or vertical (for not oblique side)... Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal

davidtayhs Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Madjik, I was trying to achieve the effects in your picture. So I applied the Oblique effect to the hexagons but found that some of the hexagons were out of alignment or incomplete. How did you create your picture? Quote
davidtayhs Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Madjik, A closer look at your picture told me that you probably had two layers and moved the second layer to create the 3-dimensional effect! Thanks for another good plug-in as well as a simple example of how useful it could be! Quote
MadJik Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 I just use HexaGrid 'left' on layer 1 and 'right' on layer 2... Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal
davidtayhs Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Thank, Madjik for sharing such a beautifully simple technique! Exquisitely simple and beautiful. Quote
