Instantiate

Instantiate

Shape Modifier - Compose a shape with other shapes

Very similar to Instantiate Instantiate a primitive geometry on each vertex position Read More for 3D layers. Generates shapes along the edges of a shape.
Positions along the edges of the shape are set by the Locations - Type parameter, with 3 options:
  • Fixed Count : Set the number of instantiated shapes. The space between them will be the same and automatically calculated
  • Fixed Distance : Set the space between 2 instantiated shapes.
  • Caps : Generate the shape at the stroke cap of the input shape (can be Start Cap, End Cap or both)

Choose what type of Shape layer Bezier shape and drawing Read More you want to instantiate and access the main parameter of this shape.

Example with a Star



Just like with Group of shapes A group of shapes Read More , instantiate also has a JoinerSet a joiner between 2 shapes parameter, that defines how the shape joins the path or the other ones

Play with joiner and other modifiers to easily create complex shape!


Parameters

  • Locations (Shape Locations) : Set the default position along the edges
  • Shape (Shape Generator) : What kind of Shape layer Bezier shape and drawing Read More will be generated
  • Merger (Sdf Merger) : Define how the generated shapes merge with the input shape
  • Merge Opacity (Percentage) : Define the intensity of the merging of the generated shapes
  • Joiner With Path (Shape Joiner Options) : Define how the Shape layer Bezier shape and drawing Read More joins with the path of the input shape
  • Instance Joiner (Shape Joiner Options) : Define how the Shape layer Bezier shape and drawing Read More join with each other
