shape changing pattern

[janhavelka]

Hi All,

I'm looking to recreate the geometric shape pattern as depicted in the image below where the pentagon shape gradually morphs in size and shape into a small circle. Anyone have an idea how to go about this?

Thank you very much for any input, sending positive karma your way.

Look into blends and symbols.

The plugin Phantasm can generate this.

tnx for the response, but as far as I know phantasm only does a halftone pattern based on circles not a pentagon shape?

You can use custom symbols as shapes.

thanks again... your tip was perfect. Just managed to install the plugin and now playing with the settings.
(now for the smoke cloud brushes that's another can of worms)
