WIP - Testing Blending: not yet a tutorial but soon for beginners

[B-Vs-V]

I wanted to replicate a scheme done with another app (did not succeed yet) & I did come with this that I like for a poster let say, entirely done in VS with the transform feature, blending, shape effect & all editable:

One can really play with many features & we can't (always) predict what we're going to get:

Great texture
I like the third image because of the color gradient

would love to see the texture clipped into the Letters
(third and fourth picture)
it would probably look good too
well done

what transformation tools did you use
or is it all just done with blends?

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath I did try to clip the texture within the letters/shapes but I've got some issues at the border:

I also get some issues with the union boolean:

The shape effects are 'distortions'.

[Subpath]

@Pat

curious, probably some heavy stuff for VS
but it also looks good as a frame
the second one

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath Could be... but I assume more a bug. I can send the file to @VectorStyler if needed.

Anyway, several possibilities. I still have to read your tuto on brushes to start using them

[VectorStyler]

@Pat Send me the file.

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler I've sent the file.

[Subpath]

@Pat

i love the wave like look

It's been a long time since I've been back in this thread...
Very easy to get even if not what I wanted, but I found this interesting.
Using the “Repeater” function in two different objects and various renderings by changing the coloured background and transparency of the “containers”, etc.

@Pat

and the ideas are still bubbling up
I know it will never stop, like the water geysers
in Yellowstone

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath Thanks . Well, I wish I had more ideas and more time to experiment and implement VS in my work(flow).

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler VS 1.2.027 & no issue anymore with my file. I could change any symbol without affecting the arrangement of others... the use of the Repeater feature (VS acronym of course)

[B-Vs-V]

Well, I've tried to get a fully editable design for the Repeater features (two here) made with symbols and for the text, but I can't find a way to do it
I have to confess that I got a bit lost in all the testing I did. I was convinced that text remained editable after a Boolean operation like in AD but didn't succeed in VS...

I'll stop here, even though there's still room for improvement, just for the fun to use the Repeater feature with symbols:

@Pat

Nice,
looks like a title for the great upcoming VectorStyler TV show
I'm looking forward to it

[B-Vs-V]

WIP ! I'd like to make an axonometric "3D" project and I'm in the process of testing the possibilities of VS. It would be a bit long to explain the steps but in itself nothing very complicated.
The software does slow down a bit but I think that's due to the calculation time for rendering (several artboards, some image and shape effects, blending, different colours to strokes and fills...). Infinite possibilities by changing a single parameter.

[Subpath]

@Pat

nice,
i like the transparent, glass-like effect in the middle

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath Thanks. I'll come back on this one later.

[B-Vs-V]

I wanted to achieve a realistic neon effect (not just a blur effect applied to a coloured line), for editable text. I achieved this effect by copy-pasting the text outlines (no fill), applying brushes and transparency to the shapes on a dark background (gradient). It's not too successful but I like the overall effect with the Repeater function on each of the shapes (of course, the text in this case is not editable):

[Subpath]

@Pat

looks not that bad too me
how about a make the reflection Light
on the wall more soft/blurry
(only the letter contour)
