Blend tool

Post by Rhoel »

In animo we had a great little tool for bluring lines. Sometimes shaded fills do not give the right effect. In that situation, you manually draw/vector the colour separation. The blur tool is then used to blend the two colour zones together.

I don't know what the programming issues are but its a good feature if it can be implimented.

Simple masking with shadows...
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Not quite. Yes, you can get that effect with masking, but if you have a fully colour separated character, a layer with hi-light areas and shadows, masking is a nightmare. Animo had a very good tool which you just clicked on a line and it blurred nicely. It produced a very good looking "rounded" result.

It seems to me like a good idea to avoid nightmares too :)
