Awesome Tutorial, Thanks. If you go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform you can enter scale 89%, rotation 3.75% and Copies 16 and complete it in one step.
Nice to see someone working in such an abstract fashion with illustrator. Also thanks for the tips ref the snap malfunction I thought it was me! as I so often thought I had everything aligned only to find down the road after the effect everything shifted!
Hi Jean-Pierre, nice video! I wanted to ask you, why the scale has to be 89% and the rotation 3.75 degrees? can it work with any other values? and how about squares? thank you!
Hey David, thank you! I choose to keep the scale at 89% to keep the triangles from overlapping, and the rotation for similar preferential reasons; other values will "work" but the end result will not look exactly like the results in the video. Those values were something I saw as a great starting point, but I definitely encourage experimentation to see what works!
thanks for making this. If you were to include the rotation, scale, and other variables within the "Transform Each..." function, and then "copy", then you could hit Cmd + D / Ctrl +D as many times as you like, halving the number of clicks for what you show in your tutorial. Were you aware of this?
@@illustratortutorials1596 I'm having the same problem. My center is not the same as yours and when i rotate its not right. I watched the video you linked here too and it does exactly the same thing. How is it that your center is there and not higher up?
Hi Jordan, the trick is to use a circle as your "boundary box" for the rotations to achieve symmetrical results. If you only have the triangle selected the boundary box (the box that appears when you click on a path or shape) will rotate on the box's center, not the center of the triangle. The link above will walk you through the steps on creating a triangle centered within a circle; with both the circle and the triangle selected, you'll notice the selection will use the center of the circle and ignore the triangle's center. You can delete the circles after the rotation, but you want to have them selected while you're rotating. Hopefully that helps!

Your design is very nice but I am trying to learn from your tutorials. Tks.
The snapping issue. Is align to pixel grid on? I keep it turned off for some of the issues described in the video and comments.

Nice video.
I don't know why but on my illustrator the rotation is on the opposite , can someone tell me why? and how can I fix it that>?

Thanks! Actually I went one step further in this additional video and set up an action, check it out: ruclips.net/video/Vs4hrs1qQXI/видео.html
My triangle's center occurs on the wrong position when I try to draw the circle. Can you help please? Thanks.
This should help ---> ruclips.net/video/Vs4hrs1qQXI/видео.html
Thanks Anite! You're welcome, glad I could help!
