Interesting image Maak. Like Gary noted, that kind of pattern could make a cool fill.

Do as Unholy has done with the screenshot. Then give the shape stained glass transparency followed by applying an inside contour. (the contour, fill pattern, transparency settings, and contour step number can then be modified for interactive fun).
Given the number of graphics in this thread I'm going to create another thread where (hopefully) things can continue.You can find it here.

What are you/anyone not sure about? Perhaps I can clarify. Maybe...

I think Ross has all of us playing with contours,heh!
For the possible benefit of others I tell ya what I think Risto just got:
When you apply a gradient fill you can position the fill end handles very close together. Then by having the fill set as 'repeating' you will get a 'pattern' vs. just a gradient. With the linear fill it becomes stripes. With a circular fill it can become a 'dot' pattern. Adjusting the profiles adjusts the characteristics of your 'pattern'.
Hope that further explanation helps someone.

... and yes, the technique looks very interesting...
... but I can't get past step 1!... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]
I will pop a vein in my head unless you let me know how you turn a simple linear fill in to stripes with the profile!?
Hurry, hurry... hurry! I can't wait to try it out!

Hmmm, I never knew you could do that!
I will for sure play around with this! Looks like fun!

I'm sure blends are the way to go when making fishnets. (Blend Tip: After applying the blend you can still edit the objects that were blended and watch the blend modify interactively. Ctr-click to select either the blend's start or end object. Use the shape editor tool to modify).
This contour technique clearly works well to create wild colour fills. If you look at the linked threads you'll see many examples of the creative fun you can have with the technique. Go for it.
