Description This should give everyone a fresh approach to the nGon plugin.

A special thanks to: =ccdigitalfx , =n8iveattitude1 , and =Rhienel for testing it out.

I'm quite interested in seeing what you accomplish with it. So please, take a minute to leave a comment with a link to your creations. Thanks!

My pleasure I am trying the same thing with different colours. I don't really like it the way it is now. We shall see

Hi!
I really like your tutorials. They are very helpful, thank you so much

I decided to give this tutorial a shot and I think I'm going wrong at step #7 :S
Do I apply the transform Ngon = 1 to triangle #3?

sragets In reply to FazPAz [2009-12-31 17:32:04 +0000 UTC]

I'm really glad they're of help to you.

The Ngon = 1 should be applied to the "Final Transform", not a regular one.
Let me know further explanation is needed.

Great tut but I haven't been able to locate the nGon plug-in even over on the APO page
Anyone like to point me in the right direction

THANKS!!!!

Thanks for the link - unfortunately I've tried to open .rar files and nothing I've tried with this old computer will work for opening em
Oh well there's enough to keep me plenty busy with Apo anyway -- Thanks!!

It should be in the "super massive plugin pack" available on the apophysis page here on dA as well.
Sorry the download didn't work for you.

I can't seem to get it to work and I'm not sure why. I've tried it about 8 times and it never comes out right.

sragets In reply to CheekaCat [2009-11-10 13:13:01 +0000 UTC]

I just ran through the tutorial with the lastest apo and 7x and had no problems. Could you tell me where you're running into difficulty, or where your results are not coming out like you expect?

CheekaCat In reply to sragets [2009-11-19 16:18:35 +0000 UTC]

I cant seem to get much of a square just a big circle with a barely there square I can see at the edges. I've tried changing the size and the weight but all I get is a circle. I've done this about 40 times and it always comes out the same, I'm baffled.

sragets In reply to CheekaCat [2009-11-19 16:52:12 +0000 UTC]

You've changed the variables and still get a circle?

CheekaCat In reply to sragets [2009-11-22 22:32:25 +0000 UTC]

I get a square around the outside I know this because I can see the corners, but mostly its just a circle.

I love this tut. great work. Just remember to turn the Linear/Linear 3D off on the final Transform.

I will be playing with this technique, and I'll let you know what I can create. Though I like the second step much better than the final results. I might just play with that instead XD

It gives some really nice effects even at that step!

Let us repeat the cycle:
1) F--l--A--r--k masters a style
2) F--l--A--r--k creates a tutorial
3) Meiresthai learns said style in depth
4) Meiresthai spawns a new tutorial
5) Rinse and repeat

Nice tutorial!
I wish I could have found something like this when I first tried nGon. I had no idea what I was doing until =TwilightAmbiance sent me the params for Prisoner one night.

Also, I seriously need to get fractalling again, and I think this should be a good starting point for me.
