Illustrator :: How To Create Gradients That Follow The Contour Of Artwork

Jan 29, 2013

I am creating a 'How to' diagram using illustrations from a previous artist. As such I need to recreate his way of creating image gradients. He seems to do it by using only a small amount of gradient steps creating quite block like gradients. Like this: How would I go about getting my smooth gradients like this? At the moment I am creating a smooth gradient filled object, expanding it then specifying the steps in the dialogue box that then appears. But this does not really recreate the same gradient (please see as follows):So my question is how this artist has done this? As the gradients also seem to follow the contours of the object.

Photoshop :: Contour Lines To Follow Rolling Landscape?

Mar 6, 2008

I need to reproduce wavy contour (blueprint) lines which will follow the undulating landscape on a lot of images I have. As per the attachment, they almost have a neon glow and are in a grid format. I can do a grid but adding the wave filter doesn't allow me to adapt it to suit the pic.

Illustrator :: How To Create Consistent Gradients

Aug 18, 2013

I'm trying to create several different colored orbs that will have a consistent look using gradients. I've been playing around with Kuler and some other apps trying to pick the right shades for each orb to get a nice smooth transition, but I'm having a tough time picking the right colors for each of the gradient stops.

Illustrator :: How To Create Multiple Colored Gradients From Just One

Nov 30, 2013

I've been trying to make consistent gradients for a while now with no success. What I would like to do is make one gradient - say a dark red to light red - and then have a way to change the colors of that gradient without having to search for the correct hex colors for each one. So say I do the red gradient, then if there was some way to overlay something over it to change the colors instead of trying to find them myself.
 
I know you can do this in Photoshop, but I haven't figured out how to do it in AI. Perhaps there's an easier way I just haven't found yet. I've spent a long time trying to make gradients of different shades (reds, blues, etc.), but the problem is getting each color of the gradient to be about equal to the other ones.

Illustrator :: Why Does CS6 Create Gradients Through Clip Groups

Sep 7, 2012

I jumped to CS6 from CS3 and am a bit confused. I create graphics for stock imagery and it is important to minize the amount of shapes. I created my first image with CS6 that has several gradients and my file is enormous because when I viewed it with "Overprint view" it showed that all gradients consisted of several paths contained in a clip group.

Xara :: Unable To Create Text To Follow Curved Path

Mar 14, 2012

For some reason I am unable to create text to follow a curved path. For example, I created a simple curved line using the shape editor tool. After selecting the completed line I select the main text tool (the other text tool, fit text to curve, is grayed out and not selectable). However, wherever I insert the cursor along the curved line I still end up with a straight line of text. After much experimentation I still cannot figure it out. I know I am leaving out a simple step.

AutoCad :: Create Contour Lines

Oct 19, 2010

So I have finally been able to create a surface that I like and slice some 3D solids using this surface. But now I would like to draw some contour lines of that surface. I have seen some videos about creating contour lines (such as this one: URL.... ). But in this video they import the surface using the 'connect to data' button in the toolspace area. Is it possible to insert a surface from your drawing into the toolspace area and then draw the contour lines? I managed to insert the layer containing the surface using Data --> Add drawing data --> Drawing layer... but I cannot change style or create contour lines.

Illustrator :: Resetting Gradients In CS5?

Jul 30, 2010

I have been continuously since buying CS5/Illustrator. Our company had its logo designed by another firm, and it has been my job to use it in brochures and marketing collateral. The logo uses a two instances of a radial gradient applied to two separate elements of the logo. The gradients are off-center. However, when I place the file into a document, save, close and re-open, boom! the gradient is reset to center, throwing off the logo. This has happened when I have least expected it, and even resulted in a very expensive reprint.
 
I have converted the file to different formats: EPS, JPEG and PDF, but with the first, there is a loss of image quality, and with PDF, the gradient still moves out of place.

Illustrator :: Exporting Gradients In SVG

Nov 15, 2013

I'm currently working on some icons for our new agency website... When try to export  files with gradients, which assigned to nicely named graphic styles, illustrator keeps exporting a strange st-class for every new gradient i'm generating and refuses to assign my class, like:
 
<style type="text/css">
          .testStyle{fill:url(#SVGID_1_);}  //my class with a useless gradient
          .st0{fill:url(#testrect_1_);} // class generated by illustrator
</style>
<linearGradient id="SVGID_1_" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x1="0" y1="0" x2="1" y2="0"> // useless gradient with no height?!
          <stop  offset="0" style="stop-color:#FFFFFF"/>
          <stop  offset="1" style="stop-color:#000000"/>
[code]....
 
When i change the code by myself, it works properly. But it's actually no option to change every svg by hand...

InDesign :: How To Create Artwork For Stickers To Cover Front And Side Of A Freezer

Feb 13, 2014

I am trying to create the artwork for stickers to cover the front and side of a freezer.  I have created the front panel which consists of a block of colour along the top and bottom (with logo in top panel) and then an illlustration in the middle. Now, I want the blocks of colour and illustration to carry on seamlessly to either side to cover the 2 side panels (which are the same height but different width from the central one).  Should I create in 3 separate documents and how do I make sure that I follow the illustration at exactly the point where it finishes at either side of the central panel? I haven't been using InDesign very long and I cant work it out.

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?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Create Surface Form Contour

Jul 28, 2011

I would like to create surface from contours and extract points (with value) from on it. I had contours in my drawing; each major and minor contours are single polyline with elevation (Z value).

If I create surface form CONTOUR, some polylines (major or minor) are not included in to surface. After the creation of surface, I tried to erase the existing contour lines (Polyline) from drawing but the surface will be disappearing.

If I create the surface from ''DRAWING OBJECTS'', I'm not able to select the polylines (attachment 01) .

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Contour Lines On 2011

Aug 23, 2013

I have csv file of co ordinates (x,y,z) I surveyed, I have to produce progress drawings showing stockpiles, boundary etc. , which I can do easily enough by uploading the co ordinates.  I would like to include contour lines in the drawing but how to go about it.  I have spent a while searching online & I'm even more confused, most discussions refer to TINs and triangulation but not sure how to go about it.  I have a survey of the site survey csv file prior to any works carried out & that is what i would like to base my contour lines on. The site is relatively flat, about 4 acres in size, relatively even rectangle shape with fall of 200mm from north to south & fall of 2.5m from east to west.
