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



  • 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:

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



  • 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.

  • @Pat

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



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



  • 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):

  • @Pat

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



  • @Subpath Thanks ☺ but there is still room for improvement. I did apply blur shape effect on two outilles. I need to start differently for this neon effect.



  • I wanted to create a complex design with multiple shapes and objects, but I've reached the limit of VS usability in terms of fluidity.

    I could have obtained this with the Blend feature but I tested the Envelope option to obtain the first shape and then a transformation with clones for the general organisation.There are a lot of curves and therefore (just guessing) a lot of calculations and unfortunately VS lags too much to continue with this type of graphic.

  • Tested the Envelope feature, transforming objects into clones, by varying the shapes and colours. The possibilities are endless; in just a few seconds, various designs can be produced... An alternative to other approaches (e.g. blending)...
