- [Instructor] In this movie,…we are going to take on the body of the car,…which is currently expressed as a compound shape.…And the reason it's a compound shape…is because I had to cut a hole through the window…so that we could see through it to the interior of the car,…and I also had to cut holes for both of the wheels.…Now, I've gone ahead and made a diagram…of what this gradient mesh is going to look like.…It's not going to be quite this scary,…although there is a fair amount of stuff going on.…Anytime where you see an arrow,…that means, for example,…white spans the entire row.…
And then we've got a few rows…that are spanned entirely by blue one.…Now, the most important thing to note at this point…is that we have a total of 11 row lines…if you count the top and the bottom.…And so notice here we've got one, two,…three, four right together,…five, six, seven right together,…eight, nine, 10 right together,…and then 11 down here at the bottom.…And we're going to make use of that information…in this very movie.…All right, so I'll switch back to my illustration so far.…
