Hello mr Daniel 😊 hope you are having fun 😅. This video is old no to many tools and stuff for gifs. But my question is that basics of gif like if you have 3 files icons or simple logos in different dimensions then how to make it a perfect dimensionally?
Curvature Tool is nice but it's not 100% accurate. In the last example of flames we can see the traced vector is slightly modified as compared to the source. Also wen cant try the Smooth Tool to fix jagged edges in a shape.
Crazy. I’ve been using illustrator since v1 and never knew about this tool. Also never used the Smoothing command, just Simplify when trying to smooth paths…. Duh. All of these Adobe apps have so many tools and features that a person can do things in different ways and feel they are working efficiently, and then one day discover there has been a much better way all along. I’m sorta hoping this Curves tool was only recently added to Illustrator, in a late update, so I won’t feel quite as bad.
I swear 10 years ago there was a free in-browser font generator that worked great and it's just gone from the internet. Video starts at 1:45 btw but you could even skip to 11:10
Beyond making blob shapes, I don’t really use the curvature tool for anything. It’s good for beginners. But once you understand how to use the pen tool in combination with anchor point placement and handle manipulation, the curvature tool just becomes annoying. I often see people trying to force the curvature tool to make a specific curve by adding way too many anchor points and it makes me cringe.
The alt click technique is kinda a waste of time, you can just double click on a point to make it round or straight, so it works kinda like double click a the start of a curve, one click in the middle and double click at the end, no need to come back later and set the middle point to rounded
Hi, Dansky! Thanks for the tip. I didn't know the shift shortcut for this purpose. By the way, this video reminded me that since the last stream, I've been wanting to give you a tip about the curvature pen tool. While building the path, whenever I want a curved point, I click once; when I want a fixed point, I double-click. I think my method can save a few seconds in the workflow. Hope I helped you too.
