Live Paint objects overlapping extruded and beveled

I have a Celtic design which has sections I want to overlap, but I extruded and beveled to make more realistic metallic look.  I have tried to widen its appearance before performing the live painting, but "live painting" option is used in output in the menu... What can I do to live paint this object without losing the appearance of 3d?  If I sketch the lines first and then doing live painting... it loses all its extrude and bevel.  Help!

Oooh I found a way... it's a bit tedious, but it works!

I've dissociated and put copies of two components I want to ride on a new layer, in place...

Then I do a current overlapping areas clipping mask...

This cut mask then sits on top of the underlying section that wasn't right layers and now puts the object from the bottom up!

I now do with each duplication where I want to put the object from the bottom to the top... but it's worth for the awesome effect!

I hope this helps someone else out there!

  • Extruding and bevelling banding... How do you do the smooth gradient?

    Hello

    I have a form that I want to do using 3D extrude and bevel tool but although he stages of mixing the highest amount possible, I still have tapes. I use CS6. And there is no gradient on the flat image (he began as white). Any ideas?

    I hope that Yes. Well the best way would be to redraw it comes with a minimum of points. but you may be lucky with object > path > simplify.

  • You can turn a gradient when it comes to a live paint object?

    Hello

    OK so I have a bunch of paths currently active as a live paint object.

    I place linear gradients in them, and when I go the gradient panel and try to turn, it seems that he let me, by changing the amount of rotation in the Panel, but nothing happens in the gradient.

    Is it possible to rotate a single gradient in a unique journey, while its still an object paint Dynamics?

    Thank you!

    Babs

    Lol you should be able to see both. What you don't see is the degraded Annotator. Have you tried to turn the gradient using the gradient tool? IE: select the gradient with the live-paint-select-tool and then turn the tool degraded.

  • By turning the result of a 3d extrude and bevel in path with fill

    Hi all

    I have a path with a fill to which I applied the extrude and bevel 3D effect.

    What I would like is to create a modifiable object path as it appears with the 3D effect applied, so Illustrator treats the effect as 'flat', if you know what I mean

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thank you!

  • Extruding and bevelling fuzzy jpeg image

    Problem with Illustrator CS6 "Extrude and bevel" effect.

    I have a linked JPEG that looks quite clear-is, and I want to apply a 3d effect make it look like a Panel.
    When you apply the effect, the image becomes blurry and pixelated, as if the quality has decreased.

    This occurs both in the workspace when you save a PDF copy.

    I didn't even know that you can do to a placed raster image. Hah!

    in any case it seems to me that illustrator is resampling effects of rasterization of the defining document. which makes a kind of sense, I suppose, since you are turning it into an effect. Turn it up to 300 DPI and see if it's satisfactory.

  • 3D extrude and bevel?

    I was wondering if someone could help.

    I would like to make some type 3D with altering the original letters, still attached. I'm guessing that this will involve the 3D, extrude and bevel effect, but I can't work exactly what settings should I use. It's almost a sort of shadow vector I'm after...

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Use the 3-d with the following parameters:

    45 °

    -35 °

    30 °

    Perspective: 0

    After that, apply the effect of transformation with these settings:

    scale: vertical: 173,5%

    turn:-45 °

    Then you can change the 3-d effect again and adjust the depth, lighting etc.

  • Live Paint objects filled with transparent strokes?

    So I've been playing with Live paint, and I noticed that when the paths overlap or are contiguous, or even if a path has been expanded to a fill, a transparent line is there. I am confused by the present type and do not know what to do, because they are not always obvious in Illustrator, but when I put them documents in Photoshop, they made obvious!

    It is an article of my line drawing before making a dynamic painting:

    lines.jpg

    Now, this is what happens when I do live paint:

    paint.jpg

    When I bring it in PS, it becomes much more obvious:

    exhibitB.JPG

    Can I do about it? After more than an hour to chat with a Tech support person, we determined that disable anti-aliasing when I open the document in the PS is going to solve this problem, so all lines are shredded, so this isn't a viable solution. I know I can fill these gaps in in Photoshop, but I don't think I would have to do that, and also, with complex illustrations, is not exactly a viable option... I work too small?

    You have already developed. Make a group of direct painting again and try to export as a PSD.

  • How can I remove paint from a live paint object?

    Screen Shot 2015-04-14 at 10.51.34 PM.png

    I am trying to create my own font. I used to paint on a grid and create letters. I am trying to create words and the teacher wants me to remove any white color I used white paint. I am able to show it by selecting the letter, ungroup the object, object selection and expand. Can you explain to me how to remove the blue rest that do not correspond with the black?

    Use the direct Selection tool to select a path filled with white, then use Select > same > fill (or background and outline) and then delete.

  • 3D extrude and bevel Resize questions

    I am currently using two different versions of Illustrator, one on my laptop and the other on my new desktop computer. I cs5.5 on my laptop and cs6 on my desk and I recently encountered a problem. I created a company on cs5.5 logo and inside use exturde and bevel for the three rings. These resize well on my laptop but when I transferred the work on my desk now if I resize the logo at all, it seems something very strange happens over time and sometimes increases or fail to shrink as the logo is narrowed.

    Any thoughts?

    Very appreciated

    (Size of the original logo on both computers |) Smaller resized logo on my laptop. Smaller resized logo on the desktop with cs6

  • 3D extrude and bevel and texture mapping settings

    Hi all

    I can't find in the guide reference to the api 3d extrude & bevel or veneer texture settings.

    Is it possible these methods on a path of script item. If Yes can you please include a small example.

    I need this for CS6, but it might also be ok if it works just with CC.

    Thank you

    Sorry, there is no access to the effects... you could however create and apply these effects by hand, create a Style (also handmade) on the effects applied... now, you can apply the graphic Style to any object via script... Yes, it's all we can do, not useful if need to change the settings for the effect.

  • 3D extrude and bevel 3 surfaces or 5?

    Hi, I'm not understand what I see on the 3d extruded circles. I've been mapping (try, at least), a symbol on the form, but was frustrated by how limited, I've been to see mapped art, he'd be halfway in the visible part of the form. (I understand the mapping works: the dark parts are out of sight, the white parts are of the opinion). but somehow, one of my 3d cylinders has five, not three. with the additional surfaces I can fake that I need. I don't know how I have 5 on some and 3 on the other. new bottles have 3. what is the method to get 5?

    See screenshot (this was created in AI CS5 (mac), but published in AI CC 2015 (pc win), I thought maybe it was the most recent version, but I open the file on the mac CS5 yet once and see 5 surfaces):

    3d1.jpg

    He had 2 fillings on the object that has 5 surfaces. You must remove one of the fillings (use the appearance Panel)

  • Live Paint circle within the circle

    Hello

    Don't know what I'm doing wrong...

    I'm creating a circular logo.

    It consists of a circle, another smaller circle inside it (which contains text) and an image at the Center.

    I want to make the bottom of the space between the two circles (behind text) of color.

    But when I use the live paint, it will fill all - covering the text and the image.

    What should I do?

    Thank you
    Amber

    In this case, it's pretty simple: you need not direct paint at all. Instead, just make a compound path of the two circles. Object > compound path > make

    You may need to release the object of direct painting first. Object > live paint > release

    You could also try and fill the inner part of your live paint object with 'None '.

  • Why aren't my live paint selection tool and direct selection indicating when objects are selected?

    In the document 'A', when I use the live paint selection tool click on a segment of my live paint group, this segment becomes "gray" or "pixelated" to indicate that I have selected it.

    In the document 'B', no indication at all when a live painting segment is selected.  It has the same appearance as a segment not selected.

    I am using the same tool & selection of segments in the same way both times.  I even experienced and pasted the same live paint group in both documents, to confirm that the appearance of the selected segments did not differ between the two documents.

    Even my regular direct selection tool is not indicating when a path or object is selected in the document 'B'.   There must be some setting or preference that differs between the two documents.    Someone has an idea it might be?  Also, is there a way to restore all the settings by default in a single shot, so I don't run into these problems of 'settings' elsewhere?

    I use Illustrator CS3.  I would appreciate any ideas!  Thank you.

    Doc 'A' - live paint Group segment is highlighted when I select with the live paint Selection tool...

  • Rounded corners on object in the live paint group

    Hello

    When I apply the effect of corners rounded on an object any in a live paint group, applied to the group itself, so all objects in there instead of just the one I selected. Is there a way to apply the effect just on the object?

    Thanks in advance!

    There is another option: use the Vectorscribe plugin. Its rounded corners remain alive in a live paint group.
