Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 695 Turning regular hexagons into organic cells, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie, we'll take…our very regular pattern of hexagonal cells…and we'll transform it and layer it…in order to create this much more organic effect here.…Alright, so the first step is…to switch to the black arrow tool,…up here at the top of the tool box,…which you can get by pressing the "V" key.…Then, go ahead and select the rectangle…that contains our pattern so far…and go up to the Effect menu,…choose "Distort and Transform,"…and choose the "Transform" command.…And then, I decided to take both the Horizontal…and Vertical Scale values up to 110%,…and I set the Angle value to 30 degrees.…
It's just what I came up with.…And notice now, if I turn on the "Preview" checkbox,…that that goes ahead and slightly enlarges the pattern…and rotates it, as well.…Now, by default, you may end up rotating the rectangle…and leaving the pattern untouched, in which case,…you want to turn off the Transform Objects checkbox…and that's going to turn on the Transform Patterns checkbox…so that you don't end up rotating the rectangle,…
