Unlock the Full Power of Polygons in DaVinci Fusion — Custom Poly Deep Dive
Tired of Fusion's limited polygon tools? In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use a Custom Poly modifier to take complete control over any polygon shape — no more workarounds, no compromises.
We start with the basics: how to wire up a Custom Poly on a standard Polyline mask and understand what each parameter does. Then we go deeper — using mathematical expressions to generate any regular polygon you want, from triangles to dodecagons and beyond, just by changing a single "Vertices" value.
But that's not all. I'll walk you through a powerful Pie mode that lets you extract any angular sector of your polygon — perfect for animated pie charts, radial reveals, or graphic elements with a clean cut-out.
Here's what makes this approach truly special:
The shape stays fully live and editable — move it, scale it, rotate it, change its aspect ratio, all from simple slider controls
Objects attached to the path follow every transformation automatically, unlike a classic polygon with its static transform tools
Everything is driven by clean expressions, making it animation-ready from the start
Whether you're building motion graphics, HUD elements, or data visualizations, this technique gives you a reusable, flexible, and non-destructive polygon system that works the way you actually think.
