Polarity angle line field
This sample file shows how you can apply transformations to elements (rotation in this case) in a pattern based on their position. It also shows how to use the Angle from points input node to automatically calculate angles between points and how to use the position of a different layer (in this case the red
-
Noise hexagon count pattern
This sample file shows how you can sample values from layers (in this case a dynamic noise layer) to use in generation of repeated elements. For example like in this pattern varying the number of shrinking hexagons in each point in the pattern based on the sampled darkness value in the corresponding point in the
-
Seamless random ants pattern
This sample file shows how you can make patterns with randomized elements that can still be made to tile seamlessly using the automatic Repeat Seamless node. In addition to this it also includes an example of using a linked instance layer to create an offset copy of the ants with a modified fill color to
-
Gradient worms
This sample file shows how you can create these mock-3d worm/tube designs by using gradient-filled circles densely repeated along free-form paths. It show how you can use the Path repeater to repeat elements along a path and also works as an introduction to how you can use one layer (the path in this case) to
-
Data table based chart
This sample file shows how you can use a data table (introduced in 1.4) to have imported values and strings be used to control generation of a simple data visualization example. It shows how you can access table columns in repeated groups for representing rows in the data table, and how you can use the

Seigaiha Japanese circles pattern
This sample file shows how you can recreate this classic Japanese circle pattern using multi-level repeater patterns and applying a color gradient to set the color of the repeated circles. It also serves as an example of how you can work with creating seamless patterns and use the pattern repetition preview mode to see your
-
Truchet tile pattern
This sample file show how you can recreate this classic truchet tile style pattern with full parametric control, allowing you to dynamically change the number of bands, tile size and randomization of the tile orientations. The example makes use of document parameters and linking them to expressions to control parameters, using groups and instances to
-
Gradual shape change examples
This sample file is a collection of simple examples that shows of different methods for gradually changing a shape over a repetition by setting up properties to change with the index of the element in the repetition line. The examples also make use of the new relative index values and index function node added in
-
Dynamic value visualization
A number of different simple examples of how you can make custom value visualizations for use in info-graphics or similar projects. Example of using custom document parameters and connecting these to control various types of repeaters, scaling or other values to represent the values graphically. There’s also a longer Youtube video with step by step

Fruit pattern
A grid pattern using different fruit images in sequence, takes from a reference group with the individual fruit layers. Example of using Group layers, Repeater indexes and Instance layers using the pick from group setting, to create an instance of a selected element from a linked group layer. A similar technique and result can also
