Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 345 Mapping Elven runes (or text) onto a 3D ring, part of Deke's Techniques.
- In this movie we're gonna take that gold ring…that we created in the previous movie…and we're gonna add some authentic,…nerdy Elven text in order to create the famous ring…from The Lord of the Rings series,…and we're gonna do so in Adobe Illustrator.…So, I'll go ahead and switch over to Illustrator now,…and you can see, I've got my ring right there,…and if I click on it, I'll select that lozenge shape.…The reason we're not seeing a big selected ring…is because we've assigned a dynamic effect on the fly.…
So, if I press CTRL+Y, or COMMAND+Y on a Mac…to switch to the outline mode,…the only thing I'm going to see is a big X,…which represents that imported image…from the Fotolia Image Library, by the way,…about which you can learn more and get deals…at fotolia.com/deke,…and then we've got this one path outline.…Everything else is occurring on the fly.…All right, I'm gonna press CTRL+Y, or COMMAND+Y on a Mac…to switch back to the preview mode,…and let's go ahead and darken up that ring…by going up to this orange swatch…
