Illustrator :: Generating Randomized Shapes Or Edges

Jan 17, 2013

I'm trying to generate random billowy shapes (like cartoon clouds or bushes) by simply creating a shape and applying a some kid of brush/pattern/style/script/whatever to it and getting a look like in the below links.
 
The look I'm trying to achieve is visually simple: [URL] ....
 
I can easily draw those kinds of things by hand, however I want to be able to generate such shapes randomly.
 
Is such a thing possible? Are there existing brushes/patterns/styles/scripts that can pull this off? So far my search has come up with nothing, unless I'm searching wrong.
 
Generally I'm aware of what brushes and patterns can do, but as far as I can tell they always generate the same results each time you use them.
 
Perhaps a script can be made to do this?
 
Essentially a cloud could be drawn as a bunch of random circles grouped together, then all of them get merged into one shape.

Illustrator :: Shapes Created In AI CS6 Have Jagged Edges

May 31, 2013

I have Illustrator CS6 and I've noticed something odd. Whenever I create shapes they have jagged edges. I've attached a screenshot so you can see this. I'm wondering if it's a setting or something that I don't have turned on (or off).

Illustrator :: Shapes Get Random Jagged Edges

Oct 9, 2013

I am working on a freelance logo and the client kept mentioning that my sample PDF's seem to have "smudge" on part of it, I never saw it and then I asked them to actually SEND me the file while I was not at my primary computer so I can look at it.
 
It seem that when you zoom in and out the shape changes and gets these random jagged edges.  I don't see them on my computer or phone and my client only sees them on her desktops but it does also print out with these weird edges as well.  I converted all type to lines and did an export to PDF to show her samples. The first image shows how it is supposed to look and how it did look when I first opened, the other 2 show what happens when it gets zoomed.  And it changes too, it isn't the same jagged edges every-time.

Illustrator :: Create Randomized Fill From Set Of Images

Jul 24, 2013

I have a set of images that are all different, but tile nicely together. I would like to create a pattern (or similar) that I can use to fill an area using those images randomly selected. That is, they should all be aligned in a grid, but each tile of the grid should be chosen at random from one of the images. The purpose of this is to have a tiling that doesn't repeat, a la [URL] and, more generally, [URL]
 
Here are a few images from a set as an example of what I would like to randomly tile:
 
Of course I could place them manually, but I may need to fill an area with thousands of these, and even if I did place them by hand, it wouldn't be very flexible as far as reshaping/resizing the tiled area, etc.

Illustrator :: Applying Color Groups To Grouped Art Gets Randomized

Nov 30, 2012

I have a collection of color groups, that I am applying to grouped objects, but every time I change out the color group, it randomizes the order which the colors are applied.
 
In the kind of bulk work I'm doing, its really turning into an hours burner.
  
The specific process I'm using (I've tried several different ways with the same result)

1) Draw my art
2) Group the art
3) Create a new color group with my art selected.
4) Double click the color group and recolor.
5) Save the swatches ----- so far so good
6) Double Click a different color group (or select from the Recolor panel) -- here the other color group (swatches) get applied, but every time I do it, the order of which color is applied to

Photoshop :: Edges Of Shapes...pixelated?

Feb 6, 2005

I recently switched from PS7 to CS and am having a problem. As far as I can recall, when I created a ellipse and filled it in PS7 it was crisp and sharp (like a vector).

However, if I do this in PS:CS when I deselect the shape, the edges of the circle are blatantly pixelated and rough. I am sure this is justa simple setting but I can't for the life of me find it.

The document type is RGB w 16-bit channels.

Attached is a free macro which allows the user to draw a vector shape and give it a feathered edge. The macro allows the user to adjust feathering and opacity and it came about as a result of the discussion in this thread:

3ds Max Modeling :: Extract WHITE Edges Of Editable Poly As Spline Shapes?

May 5, 2011

Is there a way to extract the WHITE edges of this Editable Poly as Spline Shapes? Then I could use the Surface modifier to convert it to a Patch object.

I know there is a "Create Shape From Selection" button on in the Editable Poly dialog. But this gives me the ORANGE lines from the control cage, not the smooth lines on the subdivided object.

Illustrator :: Easiest Way To Create Different Edges For Ellipses (tire Edges)

Jun 18, 2013

I thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
 
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.

Photoshop :: Extract Or Split Colors Of Randomized Map Into Its Separate Color

I've been playing around with the gradient map tool, and love the randomize and noise option to give me nice looking gradients for my images.... my question is, is there a way to "extract" or "split" the colors of the randomized map into its separate colors as if I was creating them manually with the "solid" option?

Photoshop :: CS6 / Pasting Shapes From Illustrator?

May 15, 2012

[Photoshop + Illustrator CS4]
 
I am trying to paste 3 shapes from Illustrator into Photoshop. The shapes are layered; I need them to be separate layers in PS. I am copying the shapes from AI and pasting into PS as separate Shape layers. The problem is that when I paste the shape layers, the position in which they land on the canvas is not consistent... they don't line up properly. This means I will have to manual reposition the shapes in Photoshop?
 
(as a side note, I'm baffled that there is not way to export my AI document as a PSD, and retain the layers as vector shapes... exporting to PSD requires I rasterize the artwork. Has this been added to CS6?)

Illustrator :: Rotating 5 Shapes Evenly?

I usually make a 6 petal flower shape by creating a petal, flipping a copy and rotating 2 copies at 60 degrees. (at left, below). But I want to make a 5 petal flower and cannot figure out how to do that. let's say I have an elongated oval and I want to rotate 4 more copies at 72 degrees. And I want it to be "mathematically perfect / evenly spaced, using the black dot as the point of rotation. how would i do that? On the right - you can see what i am aiming for, but there's no way to be perfect doing it by hand.

Illustrator :: Shapes Will Not Align Correctly

May 5, 2013

Look at the photo I provided.
 
The rectangle will not to the circle correctly or evenly. This has been happening too much recently and I move on and find a way around it. I've had enough though.
 
I've turned off and on Snap to point, Snap to grid, Smart guides. Everytime I drag the rectangles edges to the circles, they magically somehow snap back to the original spot or further than I wanted it.

Nothing fixes it. I'm extremely furious! Why is the edge of my circle able to be there but not the edge of the rectangle? I've even tried to increase and decrease the shapes. Still, nothing.

Illustrator :: Background Color And Shapes

Aug 9, 2013

I'm new to illustrator and having trouble with changing the background color of the working board. I'd like to see how my very simple shapes look under dark conditions (black background).

So, while I was able to change the color of the background, my shapes, along with their fill colors, just disappeared. They're there, "behind" the background and I can't / don't know how to bring them to the front.
 
How can I accomplish such a simple task ?

Illustrator :: Using Gradients On 3D Revolve Shapes

Dec 30, 2013

I am new to Illustrator and am trying to create a 3D dish that looks silver on one side and gold on the other. Is there a way I can do this? If I want to add further shapes to the top of this dish is it better to add these before applying the 3D effect? If so is it possible to apply the gradients to only part of the shape?
 
Alternatively would it be possible to use the gradient mesh in concave shape. The default mesh is convex. Is there an easy way to change this to concave?
