Making Scientific Figures w/ Illustrator - Part 3: Fills, Patterns, Atomic Lattices
Intended for casual & moderate users, in this video I show how to create & edit various shapes. I cover:
—Setting the opacity & behavior of fills/strokes in Appearance panel 0:00
—The gradient tool (g) & saving gradients 3:26
—Creating patterns, rectangular atomic lattice 6:10
—Scaling & rotating pattern fills 8:48
—Creating patterns, graphene lattice 10:45
—Using outline mode (cmd + y) for precision alignment 12:15
—Appearance panel & hierarchy of multiple fills/strokes 19:33
—Example of Moire pattern using twisted lattices 20:28
