Author Mottling the Fill in a Shape
Dennis Hughes

2005-05-01, 11:14 pm

I'm new to Illy CS and working on a project for my Illy class. I'm taking
an F-18 Blue Angel aircraft and turning the raster into a vector image
manually.

The photo, which I placed, is being used as a template. The blue color is
slightly "mottled" on some areas of the plane.

How do I "mottle" the fill color in a shape? I'm guessing this is possible.

Thanks,

Dennis

Post the image somewhere so that people can see what you are trying to do.

Lon,

Not sure how to post an ai so it can been seen, but I selected the shape,
went into effect and selected texture and grain. Also tried effect,
artisitic and film grain. The latter seemed to work the best.

Thanks,

Dennis

You post a jpg or gif of the image on a web site somewhere.
