Recursive Subdivision Overview
Recursive Subdivision is a procedural generation plugin for Cavalry that splits shapes or regions into smaller parts over multiple steps.
Using recursive rules, the plugin repeatedly subdivides an initial area to create layered structures, grid-like compositions, and abstract layouts.
What it does
- Subdivides shapes into smaller sections
- Repeats the subdivision process recursively
- Generates structured geometric layouts
- Creates tiled, panelled, or fragmented compositions
- Produces procedural results from simple input shapes
Typical uses
Recursive Subdivision can be used for:
- Generative design systems
- Motion graphics layouts
- Abstract background elements
- Tiled compositions
- Architectural or diagrammatic visual structures
This plugin is useful for exploring complex visual results from simple subdivision rules. Different settings can produce balanced grids, irregular fragmentation, or layered procedural patterns. You can easily loop the whole design animation with a simple Loop checkbox set to ON.
