The component that you're after is the Region Intersect on the Intersection Tab>Boolean Panel

dear systemiq,

thank you very much for your support!
i installed a small function so that
the rotation is unrhythmicaly.

i still have 3 questions:
1. can you reverse the transformation
from circle to triangle?

2. can you mix the characters (circle/triangle)?

3. is it possible to have more control by transforming
between the two characters. i.e. below is the triangle
and above a circle, or vice versa?

thanks

1. yes (make the offset decreasing instead of increasing)

2. yes (see above)

3. it is (intervert the 2 shapes)

In short: Yes you can!

Sorry I haven't jumped in on this but I've been out of the office on paternity leave this last week. We had a boy to add to the collection of three girls.

... and surely Alexiss is the creative one here, I just help others facilitate their visions.
