How to create effect in illustrator

I am trying to create this image on illustrator, if someone can tell me how, what i tired to do was create a grid, using the rounded rectangle tool, making them about 30 px by 30 px with about 5 px space between them, then use the 3d rotate tool, and get something close, but on the picture the gap seems to curve a little, and with the gird i get strait lines, how would i get that slight curve effect, if someone can send me a link that can walk you though would be great.

If you're careful and manipulate the Bloat tool settings properly you can create some bit of that curvature to
the grid, if your grid is created with the level of detail as in your sketch.

How to Create PDF from Illustrator CS3 by using applescript?

Hi Guys,
Do some one knows how to create PDF from Illustrator CS3 by using apple script. If know, please give me the scripting.

Have you tried File>Scripts>SaveDocsAsPDF? There should be a folder of sample scripts installed in your AICS3 folder and a folder of documentation which contains an Illustrator AppleScript Reference which has examples.

How to create noise texture - Illustrator Tips

Hello. I saw this piece of art on one of the Illustrator tips & techniques section, and was wondering if someone knew how to create this "noise" texture in Illustrator?
What I've had to do in the past to get a similar effect was to complete my illustration in Illustrator, then bring that artwork into Photoshop and paint over the desired areas... but this looks a lot nicer than the results I've gotten. If this can be done in vector, that would be another plus!
Does anyone have any insight they could share on this?
Thank you!

You are welcome.
The site of which that tutorial is a part (HERE) has a lot of good tutorials, including a few more about adding texture in Illustrator.

How to create simple 3D illustrations?

Hello!
Please, take a look at this image:
I am looking for a way to create these simple kinds of 3D illustrations. I use Illustrator myself in my daily work, but almost never for 3D (probably because I almost never create any 3D material).
My question is really about whether Illustrator is a good tool for creating these kinds of illustrations, or if anyone in here could direct me to a software program that is really good at this particular graphic?
Thank you!

To "project" anything drawn in-the-flat onto the top plane of an isometric cube:
1. Rotate the artwork 45°
2. Scale to 100% horizontal, 57.74% vertical ( because .5774 is the sine of the isometric angle, 35°16'').
So in your diagram, you can save yourself some time by drawing the whole thing in the flat (all the base circles and the connector lines), selecting it all, and performing the two steps.
With circles, the advantage of first rotating to 45° is that the anchorPoints of the resulting isometric ellipses will be oriented on the isometric axes, providing snap-to locations for alignment to other isometric edges. Alternatively, apply Object>Path>Add Anchor Points to the circle either before or after the vertical scale. That will add anchorPoints at the middle of each segment, and after scaling vertically, you'll have anchorPoints at the major diameter, minor diameter, and isometric diameters.
If you then want to use true proportion for the height of the cylinders, move copies of the isometric ellipses vertically a distance of true measure multiplied by .8165—cosine of the isometric angle—(or scaled to 81.65% vertically).
Example: Assume you want a properly-proportioned cylinder of diameter 1.25" and length .375".
1. Draw a 1.25" circle.
2. Scale it vertically 57.74%.
3. DoubleClick the black pointer tool. In the move dialog, key your true-length measure (.375), followed by a multiplication symbol (*), followed by .8165. Then cllick the Copy button.
4. White pointer: Select the bottom anchorPoint of both ellipses. Copy. Paste In Front.
5. Press Ctrl and tap J twice (shortcut for Join). That gives you the side of the cylinder, to which you can now apply a horizontal linear grad.
So you could draw that whole diagram in a matter of minutes and end up with properly-proportioned heights (if it matters), and end up with clean & tidy path constructions to which you can apply ordinary linear grads, instead of having the possibly hundreds of paths which 3D Effect will ultimately produce.
On the other hand, you could also simply go ahead and use 3D Effect in its Isometric Top preset orientation, for each of the differently-shaped objects. Then store them as Symbols. Then stack and arrange Instances of the Symbols to construct the diagram.
Example: Assume you want to draw the object that is labeled Supplier in your screenshot in numerical diameter-to-height proportion, with diameter 1" and height .5".
1. Draw the green, blue, and orange objects in the flat. (Radial Grid tool would be handy for this.) Give them solid fills, no strokes. Group them.
2. Proportionally scale the set of circular shapes to 72 pts (which is 1").
2. Effect>3D>Extrude & Bevel. Select Isometric Top from the popup menu. Set the Extrude Depth to 36 pts (which is .5").
3. Drag the result to the Symbols palette.
4. Arrange as many instances of the Symbol as needed in the diagram.
In other words, as long as you measure dimensions of the base paths in points, the Extrude Depth setting in 3D Extrude & Bevel is proportional.

How to Create a Ribbon in Adobe Illustrator

Pretty cool article I found here: http://www.layerform.com/create-a-ribbon-in-adobe-illustrator/
Goes over how to create a flat ribbon, expand its appearance and then bend it for a unique shape!
Just thought i would share with you guys!

Have it as you will but that tutorial is old hat. If you like that style better you can do the same with the 3D effect and much more quickly. A single stroke, 3D Extrude, expand and a tiny bit of editing

What is this effect called, and how to create it?

Hello,
I' m just curious about this gradation effect's name, and how to create it in Photoshop.

Hi,
Chuck is on the right path. You can construct this with the Filter> Pixelate> Color Halftone..., but then you have to go further.
The pattern is made of two sections of the same halftone channel, one rotated 180 degrees and horizontally offset.
Basic outline:
1. create a linear gradient (you can work in color or black/white)
2. Filter> Pixelate> Color Halftone... use a large radius value for bigger circles, and set the channels to 0 or 90
3. after the filter has run, go to the Channels panel and find a transition in one of the channels that you like
4. Cmd/Ctrl click on the thumbnail of the channel to make a selection
5. go back to the Layer panel and turn off the background layer with the full haltone filter effert.
5. create a new layer, and fill it with a color (you want the dots to fill so invert the selection if needed)
6. create another layer and fill it with a second color
7. rotate the layer from step 6 180 degrees, and move it so the same size circles in the middle of you doc overlap. Now offset horizontally so the center point of circles lies halfway between the layer created in step 5.
8. now marquee a selction that goes approximately half of the doc and create masks for both layers.
9. Invert one fo the masks so that what you see is small dots of one color increasing to the center, and the second color decreasing back t the edge
10 create a third layer and fill it with one of the color and drag copy the mask from the dot pattern layer of the opposite color. Drag this layer in stack order to just above the background layer.
11. create a fourth layer filled with the opposite color of the step 11 layer. Drag this layer in stack order just below the layer you created in step 10.
12. Now (there's surely some math that makes this more accurate but I was just eyeballing it), move the top layer with the mask linked down so it is below the other offset centers by ~60-70 %. Unlink the mask and move it back so more of the dot is exposed and starts to show when it will intersect with the other layer.
13. Do the same mask movement with the second color dot layer so more of that layer's circle shows, until each dots tangents match up.
Here's my layer panel for reference.
regards,
steve

How to Create an Epic Rap Battle of History in After Effects (Compositing, VFX, Green Screen, Audio), or Fix Audio, Speed, and Real Time Problems

Hello. As a film project, I am creating an "Epic Rap Battle of History", a parody video of a popular series on YouTube. In my film/video, I would like to use compositing so that there will be two of one character in one shot. I have used Premiere Pro CC for the main character sequences, but when I imported this project in After Effects, there was no audio at all from the song, and the canvas displaying the composition was moving very slowly, at about 50% of the video's actual speed. Also, in the top right corner, it says, "Not Real Time", and displays something like 7.39/29.96. I have looked at different web pages, and nothing seems to work.
I would appreciate it if someone could explain how to fix this all up for me, or especially if someone who has had experience creating an Epic Rap Battle could actually list a step-by-step process on how to create one.
If this helps, I am a beginner to Adobe, and work on a iMac tower. Thank you for your feedback.

How can I accomplish this effect in Illustrator?

I'm obsessed with the linocuts like this one:
http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs37/f/2008/262/e/5/Mark_andrew_webber_1_by_dexter121uk.jpg
Can any make a suggestion on how I'd go about creating this with Illustrator?
I'd imagine I could create two diagonal lines and create a blend, expand, then distort the lines with the warp tool. But how to "freeze" the text-y parts so they warp differently? Any ideas?

This was a linocut so it's not vector, but I see what you're saying...I could create text outlines, "Divide" the paths with them in Pathfinder, and then warp those lines independently.

How to create these effects? What is the most excellent effects resource on interwebs?

I always stumble upon excellent arts with effects I have no idea how to create. I bet most effects are very elementary and easy to create, but I just don't know how.
The most recent ones is this
http://www.wiseidea.net/nightblack/images/2c.jpg
How to create the "old" effect/stain? How about the fire glow+fire stain on paper?
Besides that,
What's the most excellent effects guides you've seen online with great application of effects to artwork?
You don't need to answer all of them, any would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You may try and create overlays with raster images using opacity masks. Also try the blending modes.

How to create the droste effect in photoshop cc 2014?

In the past you could use pixel bender to create the droste effect, that is what I have found out from the internet.
But how to create that effect today seams non existent on the net!
Can any one help?
KR,
AJ

Right. Pixel Bender is gone. It was an experimental filter available from Adobe Labs but never made it into an actual product release. As of CS6, Oil Paint filter was introduced. It's not the same thing but more like a shaved down version of Pixel Bender.
Look at Filter Forge. They offer a 30-day trial. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself.

How to create "Fisheye Effect" with Photoshop 10, on a Mac computer

How to create "Fisheye effect" with Photoshop 10 on a Mac computer?

One way : use the filter : correct camera distortion. Move the remove distortion slider towards left (barrel distortion)
Or, first increase the canvas size to a square format bigger than the larger dimension of the image and play with the filter : distort, spherize.
