Building Hexagonal Tile Patterns Step by Step

Hexagons make perfect starting point for tessellations because they balance simplicity and visual interest. This video shows the core principle: opposing edges must match exactly across all tiles.

Step-by-step: Draw N-Side hexagon template → trace 3 control splines (1/3 each edge) → instance opposites → Connect object welds into closed shapes → Honeycomb cloner creates infinite grid. Edit points on control splines, watch entire pattern update live!

Add Extrude object for 3D tiles with proper caps. Includes viewport tricks like Doodle tool for edge visualization and snapping for precision.
