yggdr4s17 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 hello guys i have something to laugh at for you so all these dang triangles you see i made at some point when i had enough i did copy past it so i could cover a bigger area it took me about 8 hours or so no i need your creative minds to help me what would you have done or how do you guys do it is there a faster way to make something like this i would be very interested in knowing but thumbs up for affinity the software didn't crash ones with all these layers hahahaha but its slowly struggling ^^ i can't even figure out how i do flatten them or merge to one layer Quote Operating System Microsoft Windows 11 Home,CPU Intel Core i7-14700K,Motherboard MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi (MS-7D91) ,DMI BIOS Version H.B2,System Memory 65303 MB (DDR5 SDRAM),NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24564 MB),Monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A ,Monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Good advice would very much depend on what you mean by “like” when you say “something like this” (what has to be exactly what you want and what doesn’t?), but here are some web resources you might like: https://msurguy.github.io/triangles/ (Change Renderer to SVG) https://www.svgbackgrounds.com/ https://www.svgeez.com/ There are probably lots of other similar sites out there. Alternatively, if you don’t mind using quadrilaterals instead of Triangles, and are a Windows 10/11 user, then there’s the “Panes” functionality of this application: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/143089-new-12-free-vector-tools-for-windows-10-users/ I’m sure you will get more advice from others on this but the better you can specify what you want the better the advice will be.

yggdr4s17 Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 wel to specify your question what i mean is how would you make a closter of triangles or how would you fill up a space with triangles (not overlapping each other) Quote Operating System Microsoft Windows 11 Home,CPU Intel Core i7-14700K,Motherboard MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi (MS-7D91) ,DMI BIOS Version H.B2,System Memory 65303 MB (DDR5 SDRAM),NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24564 MB),Monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A ,Monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesh generation/triangulator: Simple shape packaging: More complex shape packing, here with circles, which are overall easier to deal algorithmic with: Drawing triangles along a defined path: ...etc. Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your example uses (I think) four colours. Do you need to have four colours, or would more or fewer be okay? If you need four colours, or not, do they (or some of them) have to be those you have used or would other colours be okay? Should the colours be close, or related, in hue or can they be wildly different? All of the triangles in your example seem to all be within a certain size. Do you need similar relative sizes or does that not matter? Etc. Etc. When you say you want “something like this” we need to know what parts of the result need to be “...like this” and what doesn’t need to be “...like this” to be able to give you good advice. We don’t know exactly what you want unless you give us all of the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdr4s17 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 i don't think most of your questions are relevant to what i want for example the colors but yes i want to be able to make it whatever i want the triangle sizes are random i just made them by eye but the question here is how would you make make a closter of triangles and if my question is not clear enough to you now i give up. i can not make it any clearer than this : how would you put 1000000 random sized tringles together v_kyr pretty much understood me Quote Operating System Microsoft Windows 11 Home,CPU Intel Core i7-14700K,Motherboard MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi (MS-7D91) ,DMI BIOS Version H.B2,System Memory 65303 MB (DDR5 SDRAM),NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24564 MB),Monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A ,Monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 If the colours of the individual triangles are irrelevant, and you have no specific requirements for the relative sizes, then one or more of the sites I gave links to should get you what you want. Once you have the SVG containing the triangles you can place it in your document. If you want to remove, or recolour, or change some of the triangles then you will need to do that manually.
