Regarding the halftone repeater types
-
@VectorStyler
There doesn't seem to be any way to achieve reaction-diffusion halftone within the Repeater. So, I'm gathering some information to see if it's included in the roadmap. Repeater lacks halftone types related to morphogenesis, such as TSP and Voronoi etc.I really like Reaction-diffusion halftone, and I have purchased some software specifically for creating it. There are two excellent ones, namely Stochaster and TexTuring. Additionally, there are some free options available. Let me introduce one that I particularly like to use. Repeater is powerful, if it's support for Reaction-diffusion halftone, it offers access to a wide range of capabilities that many other software programs simply cannot match.
Stochaster

TexTuring

Stochaster offers more features but lacks support for vector export, while TexTuring has fewer features but supports vector export (PDF, SVG). They have some differences and similarities in terms of functionality.

@Li-Xiao I added this to the backlog. I actually considered this as an image effect, but it was postponed.
Doing this in vectors could be a bit slow. -

image effect
Thank you, can be added to the image effects halftone. the computations in the image effects section are faster and more suitable.

String Art generates fascinating designs, and there are also some free online tools available to create them.

The two online generators I often use support SVG output.

!Btw, when opening SVG files with VectorStyler, transparency is lost.

@Li-Xiao These are for further down the road.
The opened a bug on the svg import issue.
-
@Li-Xiao I could not download the svg file, it seems to be a binary file

i tried it also and get only a bitmap
seems a wrong file extension -
@VectorStyler
It seems like uploading it again didn't make a difference.The zip file should be fine now.

@Li-Xiao , is ok now

@VectorStyler
The Repeater is missing a fundamental feature: keep the original arrangement of all objects or text.
Lately, I've been needing this frequently, but I can't find any method in Repeater; I have to resort to using other software.
-
@Li-Xiao This would not be a repeater feature anymore, but something else. I have a new feature planned for the next version, that is a "live" adjustment to a group of objects, using the adjustment tools of the repeater.
-
@VectorStyler Thank you so much, looking forward to it!
Btw, in the recent versions, adjusting number values for Blended shape in the Repeater does not work. -

I will try to find out what can cause this.

I cannot replicate this. Can you send me a file where the number value is not adjusted? Thanks!
-
@VectorStyler Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately. I didn't explain clearly. I meant multiple blended shapes, not a single blended shape. I couldn't find the files I make on before. I'll redo them when I have some time and send them to you.
