- [Instructor] In this movie we're going to take on,…what I believe is, the most ambitious project…I've ever attempted in an one on one course,…and that is this car, which includes…nearly a dozen mesh objects.…Now, if you're working along with me,…you may notice some onscreen idiosyncrasies,…such as these white lines, or whatever they are,…over here next to the gas cap,…as well as next to the rear door,…and underneath both of the wheels.…Now, if you zoom in,…then some of those problems may go away,…and others may become worse.…But, they're not really there,…and to demonstrate what I'm talking about,…I went to the file menu, chose export,…and then chose export as,…and exported this as a tif image,…which I will now open up inside Photoshop.…
And, you can see that everything is looking super smooth,…with none of those white lines, whatsoever.…And, with any luck, that should be the way…it prints, as well.…Alright, I'm going to switch back to Illustrator,…and we're going to start off…inside this illustration, right here.…
