What is a Transform?

A Transform is an algorithm designed to be used in the Flow builder. It is a set of instructions used to edit a source geometry. Each transform has settings and parameters that can be customised. Transforms can be used alone or together as part of a flow.

Giraffe has a variety of Transforms included, that when combined, can create some amazing outputs! Check out some of the premade flows in All of the Included Flow Templates.

Add a Transform

Add a Transform to any geometry by clicking “Open Flow Builder” in the properties palette.
