Vizrt 4 Star Tutorial

The Vizrt 4 Star is a two dimensional geometry that allows you to create a multi point star. The star is fairly simplistic with its properties that you can adjust, but you can make a lot of different shapes with it. The Vizrt 4 Star geometry is found in the Built-Ins window, the Geometry Plugins (GP) tab and default folder. Once you drag the Star into the scene tree window you will see a five point star in the scene editor window. The star can be colorized with a material or textured with an image. Once you click on the star icon in the container you will enter the star properties editor.  Within the properties editor you have several options that you can adjust: Corner / Tips will set the number of corners on the inner circle of the star. This equals the number of tips or corners on the outer circle. By default the number is set to 5. The minimum number is 3. The maximum number is 300. Star Radius set the radius of the outer circle star tips or outside circle. The default setting is 50. The minimum number is 1 and the maximum number is 200. Star Inner Radius Factor will determine the factor of the outer radius to the inner radius star. Hole will enable or disable a hole in the middle of the star. Hole Radius sets the radius of the outer circle where the tips of the hole are located. The default setting is 25. The minimum number is 1 and the maximum number is 200. Hole Inner Radius Factor will determine the ratio of the outer radius to the inner radius of the hole.The default setting is 2. The minimum setting is 1 and the maximum setting is 50. The video will show you all of these settings and how they work to make different star shapes.
