A wonderful tutorial! Thank You for Your generosity to share Your knowledge with us! The quality of Your tutorial is great, easy to understand, and detailed! Bravo!
Thank you for the tutorial. You saved me! Now... For some reason I have a SPACE between my "links" at every point where I stopped making my links - so every 10 or so... How do I eliminate that space? It shows up every time I try to do a continuous rope in my artwork.
It all comes down to how well you aligned your rope segments to the invisible boxes. If they aren’t aligned just right you’ll end up with slight gaps between your final rope.
ok so a couple things are different in mine... 1 I got no extra vector points to remove. 2 when It's time to reset the bounding box I couldn't... it wasn't highlighted but dull grey indicating it can't be used... wonder what can cause that?
If you didn’t rotate the vector then the bounding box wouldn’t change rotation, so the reset would be greyed out. Or, if you use the rotate tool, that also doesn’t affect the bounding box.
The quickest way would be to add colour when you’re making the rope sections. Apply a fill and stroke colour before you create the brush and when you make the pattern brush select ‘tints and shades’ under colorization. This will let you change the colours of the final brush by adjusting the stroke colour.
I can't add colour at the end.I saw you said to change to the method and use tints and shades. I have done this too but doesnt seem to work :( Is this a new feature for a brush? I cant understand why I cant do this :(
Make sure that in the brush options you selected tints or tints and shades. You can double click on the brush to change the options. You should see it under colorization.
Ok end result one end is joined fine the other has a split... I followed your Instagram page and will be sending pics... hopefully you can identify where I went wrong and tell me how to fix it
