Can this effect be created in illustrator?

Hey guys I found this amasing piece of art, is from a logo presentation, and am curious if this effect can be achieved in Illustrator. I am talking about the blurred sides of the vector image, giving the impression of fade in / fade out in perspective. Thanks!

Hey Mike:
"I used a gaussian blur effect on one logo, then in the transparency palette added a radial gradient mask. I did the same for a non blurred logo and the invesr of the mask."
Can you apply that gaussian blur only on the very edges (preferably in a circular shape sort of) of the text? Here is a logo I am working on, and interested in achieving a similar effect for this part. I draw 2 elipses (imagine them as compound shape - a ring), the area in the text which should be blurred - in a controlled amount of course, is where the ring overlaps with the text only. (I have barely touched PS, so probably would catch my ears without spending a good amount of time to learn some of the basic aspects of the program)

Can anyone tell me how this effect was created?

At about 12 seconds into this clip there is the camera center frame brackets which take a snapshot and adds the clip to a timeline below the video. Its all animated and very cool.
http://gopro.com/videos/video-of-the-day/2013/7/30/

Use Time Remapping to freeze the frame on its own layer, then scale it back to 0% over the original footage. You can create the fake framing brackets pretty easily in AE, and just parent them to the footage.

Can anyone tell me how this effect was created? (extruded arcs)

Hi, I'm a novice at Illustrator (CS6) and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to create extruded arcs. The effect I'm looking for is here:
http://stockfresh.com/image/426684/transparency-staircase-step-column-chart
I'm not quite sure where to start, so any hints or help greatly appreciated.

Use the perspective grid to construct it:

You need an additional circle for the bottom.

How is this effect created? budweiser logo

hey everyone, anyone know how this bevel is created in illustrator?
larger image at this link:
http://thescore.ibj.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/budweiser.jpg
cheers

It's my understanding that the OP only wanted to know how the bevel in the lettering, not the entire logo, was created.
Here's a fairly simple method for making a Faux Bevel.
1. Path outlines. If using type converted to outlines, use Pathfinder>Unite to create compound path.
2. You'll be using at least four copies of these compound paths, so duplicate paths.
3. Center layer: fill with horizontal gray/white linear gradient.
4. Top layer: Give a new compound path white fill, offset to left, mask with compound path of the lettering in its original position.
5. Note the the 'bevels' may not look clean, especially on fonts with connecting lines. Erase or delete unwanted areas.
6. Bottom layer: Apply gold stroke of desired width on a new set of outlines. Object>Path>Outline stroke. Fill with gold gradient.
7. Turn on all layers.
Your Faux Bevel is complete.

Unable to properly highlight grids created by Illustrator CC saved as .pdf's

Hello,
The issue I'm about to explain is a little abstract, and I'll explain it the best I can. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Here's my Dropbox link to the files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/73esyo467oisq9z/ToXw207v8X
In Illustrator CC I have drawn a grid by intersecting lines which has various font characters and some with square blocks inside the grid spaces. When I save this as a .pdf, users in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro are unable to select the rows properly, the selection is seemingly random and unpredictable.
In the link above you'll see two screenshots:
correct_highlighting.png
This is a screenshot of the desired highlighting
This grid (chart) was made in a different program and exported as a .pdf
incorrect_highlighting.png
This is a screenshot of undesireable highlighting
This grid (chart) was made in Illustrator CC and saved as a .pdf
Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) with the Illustrator Default preset with no Standards preset
Other files included:
test chart creation.aiThe original test drawing used above
test chart creation.pdfA test .pdf created with the specifications above
I think the issue has something to do with the grid is created with a series of lines, so perhaps it's nothing like a spreadsheet where the highlighting flow is a set path and predictable. My thought is, how do I go about making the highlighting flow predictable?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
The grid (chart) that highlights correctly is created from another program which is no longer viable, and as I need full control over the drawing, creating fields in Acrobat is not an option.
This grid (chart) created in Illustrator CC will be used in InDesign where ultimately a .pdf is created and viewed by clients in print and on screen (mac, pc, unix, and mobile devices). It's very helpful for users to highlight and mark their place on the chart as they read it to keep their place. Sometimes clients use a 3rd party .pdf reader to accomplish this. Long story short, the program we were creating these charts with is no longer viable, and are now testing Illustrator to create charts which is perfect except for the highlighting flow issue.

Cool effect..how can i create this effect on Motion 3?

that's great.
Someone please tell me how can i create this effect on motion 3?
http://www.ayatoweb.com/aetips_e/ae17_mov05e.html
thanks

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

Can anyone explain how to create this effect in Deamweaver and Fireworks?

This site was oriinally done in dreamweaver - but the shadow
effect was done
outside of Dreamweaver. When I save to html and load into
Dreamweaver it
makes no sense to me.

Where can I find information to create this effect in AE and Ps

http://www.worshiphousekids.com/countdowns/13013/Kids-Ocean-Countdown
I want to build videos using this technique of paper cut-outs held by string and moving on a stage. Will you please point me to information or tutorial for this please. Thank you. Mark

You can create this style by simply creating a layered photoshop file with each element on a separate layer. The photoshop file should be slightly larger than your composition to allow movement of the layers without scaling.
The flapping wings on the birds are easily accomplished by creating plan view's of the wings then moving the anchor point to the root or body end of the wings, making all of the bird parts 3D layers, then positioning and animating the rotation of the wings to make them flap. I'd do this in a pre-comp, then animate the position of the pre-comp.
There are some basics in the help files. Search for animating position and animating rotation. There are also a bunch of AE tutorials here. Check out the video tutorials / getting started section. There's a great one on Adobe TV on animation basics.
There aren't any advanced techniques that you'll need to use to duplicate this effect.

Can a pattern created in illustrator CS6 be plotted?

When a new pattern is being created in Illustrator CS6, the shaped objects that form the basis for the pattern, all have anchor points.However, when the pattern is then created and is stored in the swatch, it looses it's anchor points when it is used to fill an object. We are trying to trying to create patterns that can be cut out on a vinyl plotter which obviously means we need to find a way around this if possible.

John, thank you for the help so far, but it does not solve the problem completely.
The bounding boxes for each piece of artwork making up the pattern are now visible and worse still, they actually plot also.
Is there a way of hiding these bounding boxes?
Also when a pattern is created in the swatches panel, it seems to disappear when I finish that session of illustrator. What is the best way to save the new pattern so that I can access it every time I go in to illustrator?
You can tell I am just starting!

FW8 Can't Seem To Create Disjoint Rollover Effect

Hello,
I used previous versions of FW to create "disjoint rollover"
effects without any problem. This time I'm using FW8 to create the
same effect but so far it has proved unsuccessful, I have even
tried the step by step instruction of "help" menu with no success.
Can somebody pease help me with how to achieve this effect
with FW8 if it is possible.
Many thanks in advance!

More than half of the trouble posts on the DW forum are the
result of using
a graphics editor to write HTML. It's a grand idea that
utterly fails.
Such HTML is rigid, and fragile. You cannot avoid HTML if you
are going to
be working on the web, no matter what the marketing hype
says.
Harsh? Perhaps. True and well intentioned? Yes.

Trying to duplicate this "Energy Flow" effect (originally created in AE)

Following the tutorial from videocopilot on "soul removal"...
http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/soul_removal/
I created a couple variations on an energy glow effect in AE, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzdwK2LoQbE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWYrfsSMZ0k
I think this should be easy to duplicate in Motion, but I'm going slightly nuts trying to figure it out. The effect is created by having some simple white circle particles with AE's Fast Blur and CC Vector Blur added. I know how to do something similar to Fast Blur in Motion, but I can't figure out how to achieve something equivalent to CC Vector Blur. There must be some way of creating something similar, though. Any Motion gurus out there care to help me save my sanity?
(I know there are somethings that AE can do, that Motion can't, but I don't think this is one. I would hope that Motion is able to do this)

First of all, thanks for intriguing me enough that I decided to waste my morning figuring this out.
Anyway, I watched the tutorial, and the conclusion I came to is that to attempt to duplicate the tutorial step by step is to undermine motion's capabilities.
Now, I will preface this by saying that my "energy flow" is not identical. But I think it looks really good. Also, I didn't work to modify it all that much, so I'm convinced that with a little tweaking, it'll look even better than the AE version.
Ok. When watching the AE tutorial, Andrew Kramer uses the CC Vector blur to turn circle particles into more of a smoky, curvy line. When looking at the way vector blur affected the particles, it reminded me of the caustics generator in Motion. So here's what I did.
First, I borrowed a pre-existing particle emitter that already looks like energy. You can find it in the library under the abstract folder in Particles. It's called Flow 01 interestingly enough. Then I adjusted the emission angle to 90 and the range to a small number like 7 or so. This gets the particles (which BTW are curved lines, not circles) moving to the right like the tutorial.
Then I increased the speed quite a bit, and the birth rate a little, and introduced some speed randomness. Again, you can tweak these to give this the look you want. Once I got the flow moving, I had to set up the distortion.
I created a new group and placed the caustics generator in there. I tweaked the generator so that the water-like ripples were small, bright, and had a high level of refraction. Then I applied a gaussian blur to the generator to soften the edges quite a bit.
Going back to my particle group, I added the Refraction filter from the Distortion folder. But (and this is important), I added it to the GROUP, not to the emitter. The reason has to do with a step below. I used the caustics generator as the source for the refraction (and turned off the caustics group as well) and made sure I had high levels of refraction and softness.
This more or less made my emitter look like a reflection in water, until I fixed the resolution for the group. Then I got the look I was going for.
And that is all there is to it. You'll still have to do the rest like duplicate the emitter, add an emitter that does the little flying particles, but the energy stream looks good to me.
I'm including a link to my project so you can take it apart. I hope this helps.

10.5.5 Can't open previously created Illustrator files!!

I've recently updated to 10.5.5 and now I can't open previously created Illustrator files, prior to the update, I had no problems. I get the error message- can't open the illustration with an OK box which, when clicked, opens the document in preview mode, but I can't do anything with the document!
Anyone else have this problem?

That implies that you didn't preserve a bootable backup/clone as strongly suggested in

CC Illustrator files (v17.0.0) won't reopen from the desktop. How can this be fixed?
Hmmm, the problem appears to have disappeared once I deinstalled Dreamweaver CS6. Coincidence?
Also our IT department sent me this, but no need for it at the moment:
Deleting the preference folder (in osx it's in "user/library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 17 Settings").
Illustrator will then create new preferences.
