We now have a basic petal that encompasses 60 degrees. In reflect1, set the value for angle to 180 degrees. Be careful to choose the one that reflects geometry.

Connect the output of colorize1 to the shapes port of group1.

Note that we now have shapes in different colors but that are still within the bounds of our arc. Connect the output of compound1 to the shape port of colorize1.Д¬onnect the output of lookup1 to the fill port of colorize1.Connect the output of ungroup1 to the list port of lookup1.Add a lookup node and inside the field for key, write down fill.Compound operations typically discard all the color information of the original shapes. The output of compound1 still looks quite like the arc we started with. Connect the output of arc1 to the shape2 port of compound1.Connect the output of ungroup1 to the shape1 port of compound1.We need a slice from every single path individually or the end result would become just one path in a single color. This will break up the original shape in different paths. Connect the output of import_svg1 to the shape port of translate1.Д¬onnect the output of translate1 to the shape port of ungroup1.Make sure the imported shape is centered. In the file field, press the button and locate your svg file. We want to cut out an arc-shaped slice from our input shape because we can use that to mirror and copy so we can form a kaleidoscope. Set width and height to 500 and degrees to 30. Create a new NodeBox document and save it to the folder.Create a new folder and store your svg file there (if yourвЂ™re just using vectors from nodes you can omit this step).The one I used in this tutorial is cartoon apple with worm from. Since for now weвЂ™re limited to using vector shapes you can either create your own vectors (in NodeBox or elsewhere) or use an svg file from sowewhere else. Sounds like the perfect job for NodeBox!ДЇor this tutorial itвЂ™s important to have a good understanding about subnetworks. Interesting and unexpected results can be achieved by tweaking a small number of parameters. A kaleidoscopic image is an image generated from another image through mirroring and rotational symmetry.
