Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 418 Converting all corner points in a drawing to smooth points, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now this week I'm gonna show you how to convert…a whole bunch of corner points to smooth points…in Adobe Illustrator because here's the thing,…corner points are easy to create.…All you have to do is click around with the pen tool,…but all you get is free-form polygons like these right here.…Whereas you can convert all the corner points to smooth…points in order to achieve these more organic results.…And this is not just a matter…of rounding off all the corners.…Every single smooth point is unique,…with perfectly placed control handles,…in order to achieve the smoothest results possible.…
I can't believe I haven't shown you this before.…Here, let me show you, now, exactly how it works.…All right so let's just say for a moment…that you don't know the difference between…a corner point and a smooth point.…Now I'm sure you do, but I just want…everybody to be on the same page here.…I'm gonna switch to the pen tool here inside Illustrator.…And the difference is this.…
