How to Insert and Customize Star Shapes

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on using the star shape tool within the software. We demonstrate how to locate the tool, select the star shape, and adjust its initial properties, including the number of rays, ray size percentage, and start angle, before drawing. The process of clicking and dragging to create and position the shape is shown, along with the ability to add multiple shapes efficiently.

Once a star is created, this guide covers the two primary methods for post-creation editing. You will learn how to modify a selected star using the main tool options bar for quick adjustments. For more granular control, we explore the node editing mode, which features special nodes for interactively changing the ray size, angle, overall proportions, and position. Finally, we explain the crucial step of converting the shape to curves, which allows for manual, free-form editing but removes the specialized editing nodes.
