Xpresso Pattern Maker
Posted by Steve Acedo on May 10, 2017 at 5:27 pmHey Guys,
I have to make a hexagon mesh pattern with specific dimensions. I tried creating a hexagon and using the array and duplicating it, etc. but I couldn’t get the right consistency. I ended up getting Xpresso Pattern Maker which is great. I have a nice consistent pattern however I’m unable to scale the mesh down with the scale tool. Any suggestions? Thank you!

May 11, 2017 at 6:12 pmHey Man,
thanks for responding. Uhm, I’ve tried that a few times but it will scale down a bit and when I release the mouse it goes right back to the original size. I’ve also tried scaling it down below in the numbers area but when I hit apply it doesn’t.

May 11, 2017 at 6:32 pmThe xpresso tag is driving those values then, thats why you can’t scale.
I suppose you could either open the xpresso tag, find the links and remove them…or scale down by the values the “plugin” offers.

Or maybe put it all inside a null and scale that?

May 11, 2017 at 7:46 pmThe Honeycomb you see with the black background is one I already did. However I did it by creating a hexagon and copying/draggin/grouping/repeat and it’s uneven and not uniform.
The other images are where I’m at right now with Pattern Maker. I need the hexagons to be specific measurements and uniform.

Hey I checked out your website. Nice one my friend! I’m a video person more than a 3D modeler myself. Here’s my reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-ozXvnjAs
And yeah I know, I need to change the music.
