Shape Generator - Getting started with Blender Nodes Part 6

Jump on the Discord server for more procedural goodness:   / discord   This time we're creating a node group that can output any regular polygon as either a solid shape or an outline! Less complex than last week's tutorial - I really wanted to illustrate Dot Product as it's so powerful. We're also reviewing some of the trigonometry we touched in the Radial Arrays in part 3! Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:10 Starts 02:05 What is Dot Product 03:30 Creating our vectors 05:45 Using the Dot Product 06:57 Drawing an outline 07:41 Making the group node 09:40 Adding rotation Final Node Tree: https://imgur.com/NLErdUf Please let me know how I can improve these videos!
