Contours can be interesting Eh?

[RTK]

... 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!

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.

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.
