Hello
I have not seen this as a topic before,it is probably not new, but has anyone applied brush profiles to circles with large strokes.

I've just had some fun playing with this technique...

Hey Risto,
I think you need max zoom to see the traight segment tho... I doubt you would ever see it on a .gif or .jpg... Maybe in print with an magifying glass.
Mike,
I can't say I have. It looks neat though! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
I have a XaraXone "sealpup" tut idea to pass-a-long though (if you wish to get rid of the "tears" in your second example:
(1) Convert line to shape
(2) Break shapes
(3) Give the top most shape a different colour and send to back.
(4) Delete the "tears" that have now become shapes
(5) Re-create the fill
Neat-oh!
Hello
Thanks for the tip for removing the tears.
What this does show is that Xarax does have some problems with accuracy. The conversion to shape, changes the shape of the object, that is a curved segment becoming a straight line.

Very interesting, indeed! I never thought about doing that, however it looks very good. Thanks pointing this out Mike.
It makes for some fun non-abstracts also.

Hello
I was inccurate in claiming that the shape changes. What I meant that there is a problem when cutting/intersecting the shape, which is annoying.
Extra
Try applying large strokes with profiles to short straight lines and rightangle segments.

That technique is getting neater and neater. I have to pway some with that when I get a momment or two.
John, I am aware of the magnifying glass feature... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
When slicing a dicing (ala eobet's inaccuracy thread) I get straight line segments, but not when converting line to shape.
