Converting a radial gradient to a mesh

- [Instructor] In this movie, I'll show you…how to convert a radial gradient to a gradient mesh…and we're going to use this technique…to create this headlight effect.…Now I'm going to switch over to Photoshop for a second…so that you can see the screenshot that I captured…complete with color values, and these are all the RGB values…that are associated with those default gray scale swatches.…And if you're not sure what I'm talking about,…you will be in just a moment.…But I want you to see how converting a radial gradient…gives you a different kind of gradient mesh…than you can achieve with any other approach.…

And so as opposed to creating rows and columns,…we end up with rings.…All right, so I'm going to switch back over to Illustrator here…and I'll zoom on in here inside the document in progress.…And I'll go ahead and select the headlight…by clicking on this outline, very important,…and then you just want to copy it and paste it in front.…So, Control + C, Control + F here on the PC,…Command + C, Command + F on the Mac.…
