ComfyUI Node: FL Hexagonal Pattern

FL Hexagonal Pattern:

The FL_HexagonalPattern node is designed to create visually appealing hexagonal patterns from input images. This node allows you to transform your images into a tessellated hexagonal grid, providing a unique and artistic effect. The node offers various customization options, such as adjusting the size of the hexagons, adding shadows, rotating the hexagons, and setting the background color. These features enable you to create intricate and dynamic patterns that can enhance the visual appeal of your artwork. The primary goal of this node is to provide a flexible and powerful tool for generating hexagonal patterns, making it a valuable addition to your creative toolkit.

FL Hexagonal Pattern Input Parameters:

images

This parameter accepts the input images that you want to transform into a hexagonal pattern. The images should be provided in a format compatible with the node's processing capabilities.

hexagon_size

This parameter controls the size of the hexagons in the pattern. The size is specified in pixels, and you can adjust it to achieve the desired level of detail in your pattern. The minimum value is 50, the maximum value is 500, and the default value is 100.

shadow_offset

This parameter determines the offset of the shadow applied to each hexagon. The offset is specified in pixels, and it helps create a sense of depth and dimension in the pattern. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value is 20, and the default value is 5.

shadow_color

This parameter sets the color of the shadow applied to the hexagons. You can specify any color using a string representation, such as "black" or "purple". The default value is "purple".

background_color

This parameter defines the background color of the output image. You can specify any color using a string representation, such as "white" or "black". The default value is "black".

rotation

This parameter allows you to rotate the hexagons in the pattern. The rotation angle is specified in degrees, and you can adjust it to achieve the desired orientation of the hexagons. The minimum value is 0.0, the maximum value is 360.0, and the default value is 0.0.

spacing

This parameter controls the spacing between the hexagons in the pattern. The spacing is specified as a multiplier, where 1.0 represents no additional spacing. You can adjust this value to create more or less space between the hexagons. The minimum value is 0.5, the maximum value is 2.0, and the default value is 1.0.

FL Hexagonal Pattern Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output of this node is an image that contains the hexagonal pattern generated from the input images. The output image retains the artistic transformations applied through the input parameters, resulting in a visually appealing and customized hexagonal pattern.

FL Hexagonal Pattern Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different hexagon sizes to find the optimal level of detail for your pattern.
• Use the shadow offset and shadow color parameters to add depth and dimension to your hexagonal pattern.
• Adjust the rotation parameter to create dynamic and interesting orientations for the hexagons.
• Play with the spacing parameter to control the density of the hexagonal grid and achieve the desired visual effect.

FL Hexagonal Pattern Common Errors and Solutions:

Value list index out of range. Using the last value.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the index for a list of values exceeds the length of the list.
• Solution: Ensure that the list of values provided for any parameter is long enough to accommodate the required indices, or adjust the indices to stay within the list's range.

Invalid color value

• Explanation: This error occurs when an invalid color string is provided for the shadow_color or background_color parameters.
• Solution: Verify that the color strings are correctly formatted and represent valid colors, such as "black", "white", or "purple".

Image size mismatch

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input images have different sizes, leading to inconsistencies in the hexagonal pattern generation.
• Solution: Ensure that all input images have the same dimensions before processing them with the node.
