 @Subpath Great, I'll read the thread for sure  Thank you. Thank you.

 Well, I'll stop here for now. I personally find that these VS features allow to express a lot of different (creative) ideas. I don't have much time to go on but just to show that many effects are possible. I followed a tutorial from @Devil-Dinosaur on isometric drawing and I've applied various distortions of the whole object. I still have to test the line distortions and I'm sure it will be very creative too. If you don't have VS yet, don't hesitate to get it

 Just a very quick one to display another way of using VS features.

 One very last one to show the efficiency of VS ; I have used the 'text' tool, the transform feature, the blend tool (& many options), rotation of a duplicated and mirrored original object... & I tested the colour changes this time ( effect --> adjust colour --> invert colour ; effect --> replace colour --> adjust colour). VS is really powerful and a pleasure to use. But work is calling and I'll try to stop using VS for now  I might have an issue with the 'replace colour' feature : I only see the preview for a few seconds & after no way to get it again. I have to use it further before posting a possible bug (but no time now). I might have an issue with the 'replace colour' feature : I only see the preview for a few seconds & after no way to get it again. I have to use it further before posting a possible bug (but no time now).

 @Pat nice creations 
 it seems to me that you are now another user
 addicted to the possibilities of VectorStyler and the ideas will never stop bubbling up

 @Subpath Thank you but it's simply to test with a concrete case some functionalities of VS... even if I have an idea which will exploit these various useless graphic "manipulations"    Indeed, VS is very very addictive. I'm so glad to have some features back without subscribing to A*%!e for full CC. If @VectorStyler decides to add some features for desktop publishing, those apps will be an amazing/striking duo... and then an incredible trio with photo editing in the long term

 @Harry Thank you (making these is just a way to learn VS)  
 Oh, ok for the tutorial but I just need to feel a little more confident, go through the different options and I'll get to it.

 This is not at all what I wanted to get but as I have some issues with some features, I play with the multiple possibilities of VS. It looks simple but it's full of little steps. 
 It would look good for a poster. This will be my next challenge, to make a layout in VS for a poster for a hypothetical event (with grids, etc.).

 @Pat this one looks so cool  
 well done

 @Subpath Thank you. Can be modified endlessly. This is the V of VS of course. I'll have to spend some time on the "S"

 @Pat "Can be modified endlessly..." thats so very true  I like the filigree design and the extra dimension 
 with the objects in the background.
 The gradient looks nice as well.

 ... endlessly...

 Your experiments are really interesting

 @Devil-Dinosaur Thank you. I'll come back with other different objects/shapes.

 Following @Subpath tips in "Converting a tutorial from Illustrator (Blend Function) to VectorStyler", one can have interesting and complex abstract shapes. Nothing fancy below but one need to select the nodes and not the object, otherwise, one can't get this effect. Thanks @Subpath

 @Pat nice design thanks, like to experiment myself 
 and VS is a pretty good Tool for that
 as you know btw here are some inspirations from me 
 where i also used Clones

 Testing .73 & rendering in W10/11 is much better. 
 Just the transformation of one rectangle:
