how the above image was made. It looks to me like a pattern was created and then has somehow been bent to follow the shape of the lizard.I've been searching all day for a technique to make this work but so far have come up with nothing.
View 2 RepliesI have a title consisting of a multitude of 3D letters with image overlays, in .ai and .eps formats. I want to bend it along a simple curve. I don't know where to begin, although I know how to create the curve using the Pen tool. After that my guess is that I need to use either the Mesh or Shape Builder tools. However, the Adobe Illustrator User Guide (consisting it would seem of online Help) clarifies nothing regarding the steps of the process. resource and in addition a good text that would step by step explain the process?
View 18 Replies View RelatedHow can I distribute multiple objects without distorting them on a circle path?
I have a few objects that I want to distribute to a circle line. I've tried scatter brush (looked horrible) , pattern brush (what you see here).No matter what I do, those objects are distorted.
Clients may want objects to be as many as 30 or 40, so I hope to avoid switching the objects manually.
How can I convert patterns so that I can plot them? Or if it is not possible to it in Illustrator , are ther plug-ins available for that purpose ?

i have a layout that i made into a PDF to show my client. the layout has a pattern and when you view the PDF, the pattern moves around as you Zoom in and out of the pdf. i have never experienced this before.
i tried saving with different settings to different versions but they all do it.
i have layers off, and illustrator editibility off.
edit: the pattern only moves when viewed in Preview. still i don't understand shouldn't be doing it.
I was in my Adobe Illustrator class earlier in college and our professor taught us how to change the colors for our patterns under any swatch. For example, the orange polka dot swatch I switched it to hot pink...we did that using the direct selection tool and changing the fill. I did the same thing on a Mac at our school (we have a Mac lab for all the Graphic Communication classes) and it worked fine but when I tried doing the same thing at home with my Windows PC it didn't work. How can I switch and play around with the colors for pattern swatches on a Windows?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a seemless pattern in illustrator cs5 with a logo a customer provided. I have looked through several tutorials and read most everything I can about the process but seem to be running into a strange problem. I make the pattern like all the lessons say with a rectangle with no fill or stroke set behind all the elements I want in my pattern. When I deifne the pattern it doesn't just include the objects inside the square but also the parts of the elements that leave the square. If I am understanding everything correctly thats not how its supposed to work. I am using illustrator cs5 on mac os x. Here is a screen shot. Back ground square really has no stroke or fill. I am only coloring it in so you can see the example.

I am trying to create a seemless pattern using a customers logo in illustrator cs5 on a mac. I tried to place the logo and then create the pattern. When I drug the pattern to the swatches panel nothing happens. Similarly when I go to edit> define pattern it is unavailable.
I then tried to embed the file and go from there but that created new problems. The graphic had clear bounding boxes surrounding it which I think threw off the pattern. Is there a better way of doing this?

I know how to get the tail to morph into a flower, but I'm kind of unclear how I want the legs to begin morphing into the grass. I still want them to maintain their shape, but seem as if the fur on his legs is becoming green grass instead.
Also, I really want to make this a little more sci-fi, so I was hoping to include visible and swirling earth energy,

The CS6 pattern maker is a welcome feature. Only problem is, I save a pattern I create and do not have the least idea where illustrator conceals it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to create seamless greyscale patterns in AI CS6 by using typical Vector-Tools, Gradients and Transparency.Output however needs to be 16Bit/Channel RGB - 256 greys are clearly not enough on the Gradients, they would lead to nasty artifacts in the intended field of use explanation here.I realize that AI is 8bit and that internal Image-Conversion from Vector clearly was no option.The underlying question for me is - does AI also internally work with just with 256 shades of grey in its gradients too?Or was there theoretically a way to pass smoother Vectors over to PS which in contrast to AI can save 16 bit Gradients?All I tried thus far (importing AI though Clipboard as Shape-Layers/Smart-Objects) yielded unusable results for what I'm after.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI work in Ai to build patterns from multiple shapes and colors. At some point in the process, I use the clipping mask to crop away the parts of the build-out I don't want to see/use. Then I copy that cell/tile I want to use, and build repeated pattersn. When I bring all of these tiles together - even at 6400% - no matter how close I get the tiles to each other's edges - flush or even slightly overlapping - there is almost always a white line demarking the edges. Sometimes 3 of 4 edges appear in a centered-x/y axis, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it and I can not reverse engineer the cause.
I have hidden my edges. There is no stroke on a box. Even the clipping path has been checked and does not have stroke. What's going on here? This is a huge stumbling block for my business.
how to cut up an image using a geometric grid that I can create in Illustrator.Today I've learn how to make the grid, using a tutorial I've found, but now I need to learn how to use this grid to cut a picture along all of the lines, so that I can rearrange some of them and perhaps move of them out of place too.
The first, second and third pictures attached are the kind of grids that I want to make (I now know how to do this), to use as a template to cut up the picture, the third and forth pictures are as close as I can find to the outcome I want, with the faces rearranged (I think these were done by hand in these examples).
I understand how to make the brushes, but is there any way to have greater control over how uniform the patterns appear?
For example: I'm trying to create a brush that is made up of tiny beads. But I can't seem to make one perfectly, as the beads get distorted or chopped off when I attempt to create shapes with the line or pen tools.
And yes, I've tried all of the preferences in the brushes pane, but neither of them works well.
With this bead brush, I would like to write words. So you can see where I'm going with this. The letters of the words would be made up of tiny beads (there are fonts like this, except I'd like to colour the beads my own way).
I want to do something like what this software offers.
Can that be done in Photopaint? Or am I better off to buy theirs for this specific process?
