How to make a round star with the spirograph extension

Postby Henry432 » Sun Sep 07, 2014 10:41 am

1.) Go to Extensions/Render/Spirograph
2.) Now type in these settings you see in the picture below and click apply, then after clicking apply click the close button.

3.) You will have to rotate the star to your liking.

That's all.

I found this out when I was messing with the Spirograph extension. I was typing in random numbers and clicking apply like crazy and ended up with this pretty cool star and no you can't replicate it with the star tool. I tried that and it didn't work. LOL.

Fine star indeed and a nice starting point for other tweakings.
