What It Does
YY_HexTex generates tiled hexagon patterns that can be animated frame by frame without nested precomps. The plugin handles the geometry automatically, letting you focus on adjusting size, rotation, edge properties, and color directly in your composition. Built for motion graphics and HUD interfaces where hexagonal grids are a common design element.
Key Features
Anchor Point controls the grid offset, letting you reposition the entire hexagon pattern. Size adjusts the diameter of each hexagon cell. Thickness and Hardness shape the borders between cells, from sharp hairline edges to soft, feathered transitions.
Angle rotates the entire grid. Color and Alpha control appearance and transparency. Invert Alpha flips the output, drawing filled hexagons instead of just the gridlines.
Blend Modes (20 options) composite the hexagons with background layers. Clip RGB uses the original layer as an alpha matte, constraining the pattern to specific areas of your footage.
All parameters animate like any other effect property. Change values, set keyframes, and preview in real time.
Who It’s For
Useful for motion designers building HUD elements, sci-fi interfaces, or abstract backgrounds. Also fits projects needing procedural patterns that respond to animation without manually tiling in Illustrator or Photoshop first.
Pricing
YY_HexTex uses a pay-what-you-want model with a suggested minimum of $29.99. Individual users set their own price. Businesses and teams pay the suggested amount for a valid license.
