Geometrize!

Geometrize! is a Adobe After Effects extension for geometrizing images into shapes. Using only geometric primitives (rectangles, triangles and ellipses) the software recreates images as abstract arrangements of shapes.
Given an image to recreate, Geometrize generates hundreds of random shapes, and repeatedly mutates these as part of a hillclimbing optimization approach. Geometrization algorithm ranks thousands of these shapes behind the scenes, only picking the best-fitting shapes for use in the final image.
Import Image

You can import the original image in several ways.
• Take the current Frame from the active Composition.
• Select in file Explorer.
• Drag&Drop from Project panel or Explorer.
Export to SVG or PNG

The extension can Export the processed image into SVG and PNG formats that can be used in other programs (AI, PS) and the Web.
Algorithm

Number of Shapes - number of shapes involved in the generation of the final image.
Preserve Alpha - sets the level of alpha channel mismatch.
Enable Rotation - permits rotation of the shapes during mutation.
Shapes inside Image - prohibits shapes from protruding from the source image.
Start - starts the generation process.
Shape Type - checkboxes allow you to select the shape types used in the final image.
Transferring a State to a Composition

Resize - controls how the output image is fit to its target Composition.
Geometrize! can create 3 types of layers.
• Full Mode - this mode is the most advanced but also the slowest. Creates a Shape Layer in which for each shape expression is added that stores the States and manages the animation. In the current time at Timeline, a marker with the State number is added to the Shape Layer. If the Current Time Indicator stands on the Marker you will be prompted to Update the State.
In Full Mode empty Markers are used to animate the appearance and disappearance.

• Keyframe Mode - shapes is saved in key frames. Markers work as time remapping between keys.
• Static Shapes - created layer will contain only One State and will support the IN and OUT animations. The fastest mode.
Animation

Animation is created between two States by placing Markers with the State number.
Animation is defined by four parameters: Duration, Follow, Sequence(from Start, End, Middle, Random).
Wiggle - adds Wiggle animation individually to each Shape.
