Angle Gradient Effect in Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to acheive the same angle gradient effect that can be done in Photoshop but in Illustrator. The actual thing I want to be able to create as a vector is the graphic attached...
Can this be done by somehow using the blend tool and replacing the spline with a circle?  Can someone walk me through the process?
Many thanks in advance.

This thread is 4 years old but here is a solution to make angle gradients in Illustrator CS6 and CC, which now have the capability to apply gradients on strokes.
1. Make a circle and give it a stroke equal to half its size and align stroke to center.
Example: 100px circle with  a 50px stroke.
2. Apply a linear gradient that has the same color on the starting and ending stops (if you want a seamless gradient) and apply gradient along stroke.
3. Apply Path > Effect > Offset Path half the amount of the stroke size and make it a negative value  so the path offsets inward.
4. Done!

  • How can i use gradient tool in Illustrator

    Hello,
    I am trying to use gradient tool in illustrator.
    My image is active but how can i start using gradient tool.
    I clicked the tool and tried to drag with my mouse but, i can not activate the tool itself.
    Can any one help me, I am using CS4 extended with Mac.
    Thank you very much.
    Steve

    First in order to use the gradient tool you must have a gradient fill applied to an object not an raster image it can be a vector illustration..
    Select the object or objects or groups of objects
    Now click on the gradient bar in the Gradient Panel while the object(s) are still selected that will fill the object with the default gradient.
    You can also use a gradient swatch in the Swatches panel, you can make a gradient swatch as well.
    Now your object(s) is filled with the default gradient fill.
    Now in the tool panel select the gradient tool this will allow you to control the way the gradient is oriented and applied to the object.
    Now you can change the colors and add colors to you gradient by clicking on the color markers below the gradient bar which will bring up the color or swatches panels.
    Now finally and this is the most important factor to consider you have to purchase a book and or tutorials and the book that will probably do you the most good at this stage is Mordy Golding's Real World Illustrator CS 4 this you shoud do before you go any further. Honest.

  • How to put gradient effect on a 45 degree curved pipe using single object

    how to put gradient effect on a 45 degree curved pipe using single object

    Sudhanshu,
    You may use a smooth blend between a dark/black solid fill object with the full width and a white narrow fill object in the middle.
    Yoy may:
    1) Create the full width object with the bend, remember to have two anchor points at the inner corner, on top of each other if it is to be sharp; you may create it with a surplus length, see below;
    2) With 1) selected, Object>Path>Offset Path by a negative value equalling half the width less a point or so, to create the inner fill path, then turn it white;
    3) You may ClickDrag across each end of the paths with the Line Segment Tool, then Object>Path>Divide Objects Below and delete the unwanted end parts;
    4) Object>Blend>Objects, use Smooth and Align to Path;
    5) Object>Blend>Make.

  • Vintage linocut effect in Illustrator

    Hello everybody.
    This is my first post so go easy on me! I have been using Illustrator for quite a few years now, but definitely do not claim to be an expert.
    I'm trying to create a vintage linocut/woodcut effect in illustrator similar to the image I've attached, but I'm struggling! I have tried to create my own custom pattern and art brushes for different edge effects or shading but I ended up creating loads of them and I still can't create the effect accurately enough. Added to this it's taking a long time and for the pieces I would like to create - it's going to take me months!
    I wondered if I was going about this the wrong way and whether anybody here knows of any techniques, tutorials or plugins etc. to create this. E.g. I'm not sure if I need to be using a combination of Photoshop filters and then live paint in Illustrator for example.
    Does anybody have any ideas on how to create this? Any help is much appreciated!

    This can probably be done in some ways in illustrator but it will probably involve a lot of works like you already find out.
    You can probably save some time trying to do this in Photoshop and with the help of Andromedia Cutline filter ( http://www.andromeda.com/main/cutline.php ). Than bring back to Illustrator to add color with live pain or even also finish it in Photoshop. All depend if you want the end results to be vector of not.
    Good luck and share your finding!

  • Gradients complecated in Illustrator: best way to do them?

    Please could you advise as the best way to create the gradients in the file here:
    http://www.graphics3d.plus.com/silverman2.jpg
    I have the task to make it capable of being printed 2 foot tall so at 300 dpi that would be 7000 pixels high by 12000 pixels wide. I do have an 8gb memory on my workstation but I would imagine it would be better to create this image in a vector format that would easily scale and keep its crispness. Please could you give some advice as to how to get these fairly complecated gradients done in illustrator? Or should I just airbrush them in Photoshop and import?
    Thanks for any advice?

    I haven't tried the trace features in Illustrator but you might look into
    that.
    I believe I'd use a combination of expanded lines and gradient meshes to
    draw this. If you make expanded lines you can adjust the thinness and
    thickness of the line a very specific points.

  • Creating gradient effect in dreamweaver

    please somebody help me.can we create gradient effect for buttons and background in dreamweaver.without using image editng softwares like photoshop or fireworks?

    No, Dreamweaver is a html editor not a graphics program  :-)
    You need to use a graphics program to create the gradient image and then use it as a background image to whatever element you want to apply it to.

  • Replicate shadow effect in Illustrator

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to replicate a logo for a client that was created by another  designer, and I haven't been able to figure out how to recreate the drop shadow on the type.
    Here's the logo:
    When I use the Drop Shadow effect in both Photoshop and Illustrator, the  shadow always pulls away from the type. I've also tried using the 3D  Extrude & Bevel effect in Illustrator, but it always comes out looking much  "rougher" than in the image above. (I'm self-taught, so please forgive  my ignorance.)
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

    Ok, I see what's going on or sorta anyway. The bottom two images are using a shadow that is parallel to the original object. The top is done with a perspective.
    Well I did a bit of playing around and I think you just needed to rotate the text a bit more.
    Thanks Silkrooster. You've definitely captured the look of the original, albeit with a much narrower drop shadow. Can you provide the steps you took to create this effect (or at least the major steps), and let me know if you think it would work with a wider shadow?

    This very common text treatment, dating back to way before computers, is not a pre-built effect in Illustrator. (It's a simple, single, clickdrag affair in Corel Draw.) Don't fake it with a Blend or with 3D Effect. For cleanest results, construct it yourself as proper tidy paths. See this PDF for one method.

    Thanks JET. While the techniques in the document you referenced would work, they would take quite a bit of time (for me, anyway) for this logo, so I'm hoping to find a simpler solution.

  • PS CS3 Gradient Effect

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to do a gradient effect on the image below.  What I'd like to have is the red strip to fade in from the left to right.  I'm not sure how to do this.  I tried using the Gradient Effect with the transparent to color but it's not giving me the effect I want.  Please help.  Thanks!

    Try the following.
    Make your shape layer just as you did.
    1. At the bottom of the layers palette, where is says FX,
       choose blending options.
    2. In the blending options dialog, set the fill opacity to 0% and uncheck
        Blend interior effects as group.
    3. Select the Gradient overlay and in the dropdown where it says gradient, choose
        Foreground to transparent. Adjust the options as desired. (you can move the gradient
        on image by moving it in the document window)

    Create a sliver of your gradient image and let it tile
    vertically or
    horizontally to fill the page (depending on whether the
    gradient is a
    vertical or horizontal one).
    And a posteriori, you're welcome!

  • How to apply gradient effect to JTable

    Hi
    It is easier to apply gradient effect to JTable by overriding paintComponent() and giving gradient effect using the following code
    Graphics2D g2 = gradientImage.createGraphics();
    GradientPaint painter = new GradientPaint(0, 0, gradientEnd,
    0, height, gradientStart);
    g2.setPaint(painter);
    Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, width, height);
    g2.fill(rect);
    but my problem is , after applying gradient effect the cell contents are not visible.
    what i need to do to make the cells visible..... please any one help me to sort out this.....
    Thanks in advance.......

    Well the basic code should be:
    // do gradient painting
    super.paintComponent(...);But you will also need to customize the renderers to make them non-opaque.
    And you may also need to make the table non-opaque.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
    Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

  • Is there a way to buy a plan with just Premier, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition?

    Is there a way to buy a plan with just Premier, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition? I saw all the other plans but I'm just a private cartoon animator and don't really need the other software. Plus I don't really do that much money out of this and paying for the complete Create Cloud seems like a waste of money. So basically what I'm looking for is a better monthly price where i can just pay for does 5 adobe software i so despretly need

    DAIM  because that's a bit expensive for me. 60euros each month I thought maybe there's a way I can spend less and use this software. I live in a Malta, it's a small country of only four hundred thousand residents and I just use this to animate a few cartoons and I don't really make that much money out of them. I'd end up spending more on the software than I actually make.

  • Rippled Satin Effect in Illustrator CS3

    Could someone tell me if it is possible to created multiple gradients on one layer as it is in Photoshop. I would like to produce the background from this Photoshop tutorial within Illustrator.
    http://www.tutorial9.net/photoshop/beverage-ad-enhancer/
    http://www.tutorial9.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/reflectedgradient.jpg
    If it is possible could you tell me how or direct me to a free tutorial on the web.

    You can create a similar design (the grayscale image) with Blends or Gradient Mesh or a collection of linear and radial grad fills or raster blur effects (and combinations of those).
    The methodology is very different from Photoshop. (Thus, the falacy of trying to learn a program like Illustrator from tutorials on a program like Photoshop.)
    As for "on one layer" you have to define what you mean by that. A "layer" in Photoshop is not the same thing as a "layer" in Illustrator.
    Illustrator creates objects. In a sense, each object is on its own "layer" because each object exists in its own position in the object stack (even if the UI indicates that several are on the same "Layer"). The UI can bundle several contiguous items and label them a Layer. Within any Layer, the UI can bundle several contiguous items and label them a Group. Even the subpaths of a Compound Path (ostensibly a single "object") have a sequential order. Even the anchorpoints of a path have a sequential order.
