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

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath Yes... all aspects of the design, text, nested object, colours, blends etc.

[B-Vs-V]

@ ... & the font:

With a gradient applied to the stroke... endless... lots of fun and creative experimentation

@Pat

seems you have fun
the first one is my favorite

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath yes, just by changing the fonts and the colours gradients.
I didn’t think about this yesterday but I could have done a mask to achieve what I wanted. I don’t know yet how to proceed. I’ll look later.

[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:

[B-Vs-V]

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

@Pat

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

[B-Vs-V]

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.

[Subpath]

@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:
