Illustrator :: CS6 - Paint Shades On A Mesh?
Nov 10, 2012
OS: Windows7 64bit Illy:Cs6
I have made an object (heliotrope) with the pen tool by drawing a path > increasing the stroke to 20px > expand appearance and then making a rectangle and then applying a mesh to the triangle which I then moved over the initial path (w/the 20px stroke) and bent into place
Next I used the mesh tool to add several longitudinal mesh lines
Now I would like to color this shape but I cannot seem to apply a gradient to it and when I go to use the paintbrush I am only allowed to apply one color.
I'll select the brush and the entire object changes to the newly chosen color. I want to be able to set one color as the base and then to be able to set a darker hue/shade so that I can add highlights and shades for depth and style.

I am newbie to 3ds max, I was modelling one building but I am seeing some black shades on the mesh and I want to get rid of it. You can see the black shades in the picture attached below, as well as I am uploading my 3ds max file.
how can I get a cleaner mesh, right now its totally messed up. I used optimize modifier but it does not do much.

The recolor tool does not recolor shades into shades but only shades into a fixed color. Eg if I have a gradient blue to green and recolor the green into red, then it won't be a gradient anymore. Also, using eg. antialiasing for lines you get lighter shades of the chosen color, again maing it problematic to change the line into another color. What to do?

How do, Some time (2006 maybe?) back I used paint.net to generate the following image in shades of green.
How this can be re-created to shift colours to all green shades?
What if any plug ins would be required? and the process?
Note: The images are out of focus, intended using Motion Blur/Angle: 15 degrees/Distance: 15 pixels

I'm using paint bucket for fill colors and though I see and choose colors from the spectrum all I am getting is shades of gray. What happened to the colors for the foreground and background, why does it only come out shades of gray even though in picker it shows I have picked a color?

When I do screenshots and copy them into Photo PAINT, PP seems to shade the colors. Why is this happening?
How can I switch off this behavior?
Here's an example of what's happening when I do a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot of a Photo PAINT desktop, always overlaying the same original empty image window upon the current screenshot step:

I have a business card that uses various shades of gray. When I print from Adobe Illustrator or make a PDF and print that with high quality setting, the grays print as pink. Light grays print as pastel pink; darker grays as pink+gray tints. Odd.
If I print using standard settings (Mac, Print, click Setup, choose Quality and Media in standard Mac print dialog, choose print for plain paper, quality=standard) the colors look normal but the quality is so-so -- the lighter grays print with a diffusion dither and there is an occasion light blue stripe in the gray.
If I print using quality=high, I get the pink. Light pink where I am using 40% gray, darker pink for 50% gray, a gray+pink mix for 80% gray.
Printing other docs using other apps have no issue. Just this document using Adobe Illustrator. And if I save as PDF and print using Mac Preview app, same problem.
See attached. Everything pink should be gray except the bright magenta diamond in the M.

I am creating a simple background using 'Artistic effect - Sponge' in illustrator CS6. I took a simple Khaki box and put it through the effect. I like how the effect looks, it turned the background into a blotchy pattern contrasting from greys to khaki tones. Is it possible to set the parameters so that it would contrast between shades of lavender and khaki instead of the greys it is using now?

working in CS6, OS 10.6.8. I'm working on a 3-color screen print CD label, and the colors will be a white background, plus black and a PMS color. I've been recoloring some CMYK artwork to use in the design, and really liked the results of Recolor Artwork (selecting only black and the spot color), until I noticed that when I selected "tints & shades" it converted everything with black in it to process (which I know Adobe says is why you shouldn't select that option).
But my question is, how can I get the same effect (that is, using shades of the spot color "mixed" with black) without having it convert the shades to process? I'm sure it involves overprinting, but I'm hitting a big hole in my knowledge.

I am trying to change the background of a photo. Not just change the color but change the color AND make it keep it's original shading, etc. I have some family photos we had made recently and they used a beige color draping for the background. The ones we had made before had a black draping. I was wondering how I could go about using some sort of additive coloring to transform the varying shades of beige to the same varying shades of black.
I have already used the masking tool to separate the background from the rest of the photo.

I am trying to edit a photo using the mesh warp tool. I have it exactly as I want it, but when I go to apply it, every part of the photo I have warped gets deleted and I just get the white background underneath. I have looked online for guides and videos but when they apply their changes their edits stay exactly the same!

I have an assembly that has somewhere a hole with a round bar that exactly fits in this hole. But when meshing the assembly, the mesh of the hole and the mesh of the bar are different.
The result is that the different parts do only seem to touch each other at the edges of the mesh, resulting in high stresses.
See picture.
I tried to made a derived part from the assembly, but that one does not finish meshing. After 48 hours, the progress bar is still half way. While the one above did finish in about 15 minutes. What can I do to make the meshes match?

I thought they were supposed to appear when the Polygon shelf is selected? I don't see them. In fact, when I select different shelves the menu items on the right half of the task bar don't change at all. Is this normal?

Using: Illustrator CS2 on Win XP Pro sp3
Experience - minimal (I come from using Xara and Inkscape).
My method of doing this type of art is mostly in Xara. I would creat block color shapes with decals and sticker, etc. and then use transparency gradients to create highlights and shadows. Here I was testing / getting use to the mesh tool and shaped the form of the car with color - rather then trasnparent highlights and shadows (top). But I now have to add stickers and decals to this car and tried to apply a clone of the hood mesh over the red stripes and it created a strang clipping error. You can see in the bottom screen cap that the sides and lower part of the red stripes disappeared, while the top remained untouched. Will I be able to use the mesh tool to create transparent highlights and shadows over the top of blocked coloe and the stickers, or will I have to manually match the shading on each sticker?

We are having a problem applying a gradient mesh to a shape. If we apply the mesh to a square box the grid appears properly, but if we apply it to a shape the grid is massively distorted with lines going in all directions.

I somehow turned on the Mesh feature and when I click on the "X" it does not close it.
1. How do you close this?
2. Does this tool apply only to the selected piece of art or to everything on screen?

I'm using Vectorscribe trial and think pathscribe is quite useful, but it does not work with gradient mesh. Is there any way to use pathscribe with gradient mesh?

I'm using CS5. I'm looking for a way not to assign any color to a node so I can make gradient mesh with some transparent gradation using '0% opacity' and 'no color(this is the part I'm asking)'. This is needed for overlapping meshes.

I am attempting to use the mesh too but when I click on my object it just turns it black and grayscale. I create a circle with a color gradient then click the mesh tool and when I click my objuect it just turns black and grayscale.

Trying to work with gradient mesh colouring the nodes and every few nodes I colour the selection stops working and i cant select the mesh. Doesn't matter if which selection tool I use or even the gradient mesh tool its still the same issue. I can see the mesh lines and when i click with any tool on the mesh lines will show up in black but i cant select it to see the nodes. The only way that i've found around this is to save the work, close the file and reopen it. It's starting to be a pain as im having to do this every couple minutes.
I've done all CS6 updates and still getting the same issues so now im stumped.

I am trying to use the Mesh Tool, but it appears to be inactive. The cursor looks like a cross with a small crossed circle nets to it (like a "do not pass" road sign). I do not know what I did wrong. In Preferences I have "Object selection by path only" deselected, so it can't be it.

The technique of making an envelope distortion with the Top Object is very useful, because you can apply the same distortion (that is, the same top object) to any number of objects and at any time.
I'd like to use meshes in the same way. I don't want to apply mesh colour, or any other mesh property than its shape: I just want to use the mesh shape as a re-usable distorter.
(I've tried using the mesh as a Top Object, but the resulting error message is not useful. And I've also tried editing the mesh contents, but this doesn't work as there's no way to replace the contents with other objects.)

I'm struggling to create gradients for screen printing purposes. The artwork will be printed on 12oz canvas using 3-4 pantone spot colors.
1) if I fill an object with a single Pantone color, create a mesh gradient from it using a variety of different opacity settings, say 100%, 50% and 25%, then play around with the mesh handles to produce a pleasant, mixed background, will a gradient of this type work for screen printing? I don't know if a gradient of this type will require halftones, as a linear or radial gradient would.
2) it's my understanding that when you prepare artwork for screen printing using spot colors, each color should be on its own layer. In an attempt to add highlights or shadows to an object, if I copy an object and paste it in front of itself, then apply a gradient using another Pantone spot color, say Pantone Process Black(100% to 0% opacity), does it matter what the blending mode is? Obviously you'll get different results based on the option you choose, but again, I'm concerned here only with screen printing. I can then place the gradient on the Black layer.
The problem is that I'm familiar with off-set printing, and apparently gradients have to be converted into halftones when screen printing, so I'm trying to figure out the best way of creating shadows and highlights.

For a school project I was to render an everyday object and I chose a pepper. I created the pepper with the mesh tool and also rendered it with the gradient mesh, now my instructor says that I need to have really smooth curves but I have way too many anchor points so I don't know how to fix the curves.
