829 Adding color to your triangle tunnels

Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. … Welcome to Deke's Techniques. … Okay, we're still in Illustrator, and so far we've got this, … which is either hypnotic or just begging you to look away. … The solution, how about a little bit of depth and color … in the form of a handful of opposing gradients? … Now these are some tunnels that make me want to go spelunking. … Here, let me show you exactly how they work. … All right here are those awesome looking blue triangles, … just so you have a chance to see them on screen. … And here's our hex pattern from last week. … I'm going to go ahead and turn the pattern layer off … for the moment, … and I'll turn on the hexangles layer … and I'll go ahead and zoom in on it as well. … And what we want to do is select the largest triangle … in each one of the blends … and so the easiest with to make them out … is to go up to the View menu and choose Outline … in order to switch to the Outline mode, … and that way all of the blended steps will disappear. …
