Let's give you a detailed explanation of the experience and skills of the powerful hybrid tool.
Tutorial sharing:
Blend-1)
Blend () is a very practical function. Before the gradient mesh does not appear, artists use it as a powerful supplement to the gradient (I .e. radiation filling) and complete many unexpected results. Don't believe it? OK! Let's take a look at these two examples!
Shoelaces
First draw a circle, not a positive circle .........
Then use the distort in the filter, (AI8 does not exist, 7 and 9 have ...) The upper and lower points on the exchange side, as shown in the figure... Isn't it like a 8, but it fell down ...... Far away. OK! OK!
Next, make it unfilled, the stroke is about 60% black, then copy it, and paste it to the front (edit -- copy, edit -- paste in front or ctrl + c and then ctrl + f), then the selected object is the one you just pasted on, give it the PT value of the stroke, and then fill the stroke with the white color, as shown in the figure
Then, select the two, use blend -- make in the object, and then select blend -- option. In the displayed dialog box, select specified steps and give it the value in step 1. Click OK, the effect is shown in the figure (how is there a stereoscopy. What! If you do not select to plot the number of steps, can you? It's a smooth color, usually around 256 steps! Your video card is good, the memory is large, not afraid !? Server you .)
Then, use the rotation tool to rotate 90 degrees and press the alt key (copy). The effect is shown in the figure,
Then draw a path (shoes take the lead) in the same color, but it must be in the round header form. (if the strok panel is not, double-click the stork label, until it pops up the option), and then make the shoelaces, copy the image, and finally modify it ...... (You can use the adjust color in corol in the filter to adjust the color to a satisfactory effect. Remember to select convert and PReview !)
* ***** Let's take a look at the figure below and guess how it was done?
A powerful mix of tools in illustrator (blend-2)
How about blend? Is it new?... Actually... Hmm ...... In fact, there is a very simple way to achieve similar results... See the following...
Metal pipe (ai8.9)
First, create a rectangle and a rectangle. Select gradient fill and no stroke.
Use the gradient tool along the way to make it stereoscopic.
Select it, object -- expand -- select specify -- 255 (this command turns the current object into the most basic attribute-multiple objects filled with color blocks .) OK!
Because expand generates a path mask while extending object attributes, it cannot be a brush. We select an object and use clipping path -- relaese (release mask)
Then we drag it directly into the brushes panel. The dialog box -- artbrush is displayed.
With this brush, we can draw the steel pipe directly.
Blend-3)
Secret technology from javasstrator7 stuio sceret-chrome effect
First, draw a similar path. The more positioning points, the better the effect.
Press alt to drag a path down, and then ctrl + d, ctrl + d ...... There are eight or nine entries.
Select all, and use Distort -- scribbleandweak. (horizontal value: 8%, vertical value: 28%. You can adjust it)
Use the direct selection tool (white arrow) to adjust each point to avoid overlapping paths and generate loops. This step should be done with caution, as shown in the figure below.
It is best to change the color of each path without strong colors.
Select all, and select the smooth corner in the stroke panel,
Use the blend tool to mix one by one (click the end of each path in sequence) OK. What is the result?
All right, the above information is the detailed power that the mini-editor brings to the users of this software of Illustrator. The experience and skills used by the hybrid tool are used to parse and share all the content, users can see it here. I believe you are very clear about it now. I hope the information shared above will help you.
