Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 658 Automatically converting circles to diamonds, part of Deke's Techniques.
Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's techniques.…Now this one requires a little bit of set up…but rest assured it's worth it.…So here's the idea, back in Deke's Techniques 545,…I showed you how to draw a bacterium…with gradient mesh inside Adobe Illustrator…which might seem absolutely ridiculous…but it's actually very useful…for understanding how gradient mesh works…which is why I recently added it to my course…Illustrator CC 2017 One-on-one: Mastery,…which is currently in editing…but it'll be out in the library really soon.…
And to that end I created this intense diagram right here…to show all the mesh points and all the colors…that you need to assign.…Notice that all the mesh points are circles.…While they look like circles on a PC…where I have a low resolution monitor…but then I took it over to my Macbook…which has a retina display…and I saw that they are in fact diamonds.…Now in the old days I would've had to draw a new diamond,…and then repeat it a bunch of times…and recolor it and all that other stuff…
