Looking at the AI file available here (in the Public folder of my Dropbox), why the text takes a gradient when I place it on a perspective grid? I'm not able to see anything in the Appearance panel that gives me a hint. It may be obvious to someone without even needing to open the file . . . see pictures attached.
View 2 RepliesWhat's the best way to curve a text to perspective like this:
The current example was manually created. Somehow doesn't seem right.
I am attempting to wrap some 2D text around an object, which has perspective. See example below:
The above is my attempt at wrapping the word "NEIGHBORHOOD" around the object. What I did was Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh... and just approximated how it should look by using a combination of guides. There has got to be a better, more precise way of doing this in illustrator.
I have a line of type which obeys the Perspective on one Plane, but I want it going the other way : From my image can you see it's coming from left and getting bigger to foreground. I want it starting on the right face of the Perspective grid, but it won't obey

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to fill some existing arts (path, text, compound) with a just created gradient or a pattern loaded in the swatch..To achieve that I'm trying to change the path style:
GetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
pathArtStyle.strokePaint = false;
pathArtStyle.fillPaint = true;
pathArtStyle.fill.color.kind = kGradient;
pathArtStyle.fill.color.c.b.gradient = myGradient;
SetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
This works for kPathArt,but nothing happens for kTextFrameArt or kCompoundPathArt.
I also tried to program the procedure "How to Fill Text with a Pattern or Gradient in Adobe Illustrator" described for illustrator UI, w/o success.I have similar problem when trying to create a clipping using SetGroupClipped() while the clipping path is a text or compound. No clipping is done.

I am new to Illustrator having had to switch from FreeHand recently and can't figure out how to get gradients to flow through non-touching objects. The "merge" option here treats things differently than FreeHand did and only works with paths that overlap.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm creating text that will be printed on a deep gray to black tshirt.
I created text, added an offset path to it with a gradient, and a deep gray color fill on top, achieving the gradient stroke. However, I'm not exactly sure what color the shirt itself will be, other than deep gray to black. And I didn't want the deep gray/black fill in my text to appear and look awkward on the shirt. Unless that is something I shouldn't be considered about.
To be safe, how would you create transparent text with a gradient stroke? I'm using Illustrator CS5.
Just passing along this preview "glitch" in CS5 that could cause some headaches or costly reprints.
We had a file where some text "appeared"on screen as a solid fill even though it was mistakenly filled with a gradient in the colour panel.
When the job was output the type was missing.
Upon investigation it was noted the text was filled with a gradient through the color panel....however the preview did not reflect this. The proper way to apply a gradient to text is in the appearance panel> add new fill>gradient.
This will preview the gradient in the text properly. Shouldn't there be an friendly error message or pop up to warn users that this fill option is not available?
I am using CS6. I have created some text with a gradient fill. I have converted it to shapes before addin the Fill. I appear to get a slight black shadow arround the letters. This appears to get worse when I Export it to png with a transparent background. This black shadow is not a stoke that I have added.
How can I remove this black effect?
I'd like to take out a line of text in an image that has a patterned background, and would like to know what tools I can use to take out the text, but try my best to keep the background as is?
I'd like to take out the 4th line, "Remote............Transmission".
I am trying to take text from a image i have created but not too sure how to.I have created an image and the color of the text is coming from the background by using the Darken Color blend mode. If i remove the background, the color of the text will go as well and will just be white text. I want to have the text with the color but without the background.

What I want exactly is, starting from a big title, create a linear perspective with the vanishing point on the center of the horizon and the horizon line some cms above the title. Is there any faster way to do this without doing it by tracing the perspective lines in Freehand or Illustrator?
I'm working on a sticker with a Big Ben style clock on it. I've created it using the 2-point perspective ability in Illustrator. Unfortunately, I've decided that I want it to feel "taller" than when I started, so I need to shift the perspective. However, when I use the Perspective Grid Tool and adjust the ground or horizon line, it only adjusts the grid, not the artwork. Is there a way to have the artwork adjust with the grid so that I can move the artwork around in 3D space to find the right perspective?
