Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 589 Creating symmetrical Twirl art, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie…I'm going to take the twirl art…from the previous movie…and I'm going to turn it into…this symmetrical effect here…by flipping and then blending copies…of our existing smart objects,…which sounds simple enough…but actually ends up adversely effecting…the direction of our dynamic twirls.…Alright, so I'm going to start things off…with a couple of aesthetic modifications.…First, I'll double click…on this mezzotint, right here,…that's associated with the top candy layer…and if you get the warning, just click OK.…Then, I'll switch the type to coarse dots…which is going to give us some more lines…inside the effect…and I'll click OK.…
And a moment later you'll see…that we have tons more detail.…Next I'm going to change the direction…of this top twirl effect…by double clicking on it…in order to bring up the twirl dialog box…and this time,…instead of twirling this layer…in the opposite direction of the one below,…I'm going to twirl it twice as far…and so for what it's worth,…77 times two is 154 degrees…
