Rainbow Brush

**gwpriester** · 11 March 2009, 10:35 PM

I am working on a project that required a rainbow brush. The brush is a blend of short lines with an Alt Rainbow Color Blend Effect. The shape was drawn with the Freehand and Brush Tool.

Enjoy.

I like how the strokes rotate. Thanks Gary.

Thanks for the file. I like to change the spacing so I can see exactly how you make them. Great brush.

Thanks

Keith - I love the bottle in front of me line. I know you have used it for some time now but just had to let you know how well it suits my philosophy of life.

Hello to all of you!!

Hello, you should post this question in the XaraXtremePro forum. More people will see it; people who can help you.

I have been able to color a grey scale brush, but only one color. If I remember correctly, I converted it to editable shapes, then selected a color.

Welcome to the Xtreme Conference.

A "normal gray brush" will not create any kind of rainbow because gray has no saturation.

My brush (if you download the file and have a look) is already a rainbow.

If your brush has a single color, you can increase the Hue slider setting in the Edit Brush > Fill Properties tabbed section.

yes, this does work sometimes if you make a brush fro a shape but it works only a little if you have a brush of a text character and completely not at all if you make a brush of a line

my picture explains better i think
