<![CDATA[Posters using VS: from blend, image effect,... to pattern etc.]]>Work in progress ☺

I don't know if it's worth showing this at this stage or if it even can belong on this forum, but I thought it might be useful for showing the various ways of manipulating vector paths with VS (for those who might be thinking about acquiring VS). My idea is simply to test various/many VS features by creating poster-like graphics (rather abstract). Just let me know if it doesn't belong here or if it is not appropriate ☺

1st - Mesh, transform, image effects, colour blends

I'm only hoping until the next update that the issues will be fixed. On a positive note, I was able to reopen it with version 1.1 and will finish it later with 1.2.
Well, WIP then & the starting point is a circle...

I also applied an offset path keeping the original stroke (changed the profile of the strokes, I can't remember if I did it on all the objects or just one?)
☺

How dit you create the gradients ?
Are those mesh gradients ?
I also would guess that a Blur Effect
may involved, is this the case ?

VS, it's so much fun and creative to play with, all these shapes and distortions etc.

The starting shape is only one circle ☺

"Russian Futurism" is a kind of painting style
from the 1920 i guess

and there was i time where kind of modernize
graphic style came up which going back to this graphic
style language

Here a link i found, not really what i meant
but gives a impression

great, like it
even for the color
good has nothing to do with complex designs 🙂
so, no need to excuse for simple things

reminds me a bit on "Russian Futuristic" graphics style

it's mainly to learn

Yes, this is also one of my main fun when creating tutorials
and you always learn a thing or two too, when you have to explain a thing

I'll start a bigger project when I'll have more free time.

like the colors
the contour looks nice too

It was first a sphere that I cut in 3 parts (knife tool) and I've applied the contour tool (Q), changed the stroke profile etc.
Many options & some glitches but fun to use... this is an exported pdf cymk, therefore the colours are a bit... well less vivid than in rgb ☺

There some issues with pdf export and colour blending.
Mesh, mask (gradient mask), blending, transparency, transform...

I described an issue with colour blending that I could not see in the pdf file after export (artboard n°3). Could you reproduce this issue?

Yes, I noticed are several problems on artboard 1 and 3. I added this to the backlog, but could not yet find a solution.

but I should have taken a bit more time to finish it

looks good to me as it is 🙂
.
.
yes, the result of Flame Painter is a bitmap it has a vector output,
but this is in my eyes totally useless.

The vector graphic import is one of the things i like in
Flame Painter. Works via vector layer, only one path is allowed
per vector layer, but many vector layer.

You can import an .svg path from VS and put any particle brush on it.
The whole thing remains resolution independent internally until its exported.

I will post something here where I have recreated a graphic in VS which
i made with Flame Painter. But that will take some time.
