Hi All,

I was watching a tutorial on Youtube yesterday, I think they were using version 5. Included in the effects palette was Splotchy effect and Spot effect.

How can I add those effects in AS7, or are they in a different place and I just have not stumbled on them yet?

Thanks in advance.

Some effects were eliminated on version 7. Anyway, you can get them importing this file and copy and pasting the fills on your shapes.

Each shape on this file has an effect applied: Sketchy, Angled pen, Spots and Splotchy.

those effects were dropped from AS6 and AS7. you can use image texture to do the same thing. to make a custom texture you make your shapes the way you want, no stroke applied to the shapes, over the default background. apply the soft edge effect to the shapes and adjust the alpha to about 75. click on the fill color in the style palette to bring up the color channel info to adjust alpha. hit ctr+r to preview render and use the save as option to save as a png. image. now you can use the image texture effect with the png you made on your shapes. its' not as easy to change the effect as it was with spot and splotchy option, but you can make several variations of color, blur radius and alpha settings pngs. to get the effect you want. if you have photoshop, alot of the brushes make good image texture effects on shapes.

Thank you for that, however, not sure how to adjust the parameters like you can do with the other effects.

if you click on one of the shapes selgin sent you you will see that where it says effect 1 and effect 2 in the style palette, effect 1 will not be named but if you click on the button on the right of it, all the parameters for the effect are there and can be adjusted like all the other effects.

Fabulous Jonbo,

Thank you so much for that explanation.

Not sure what happened, but the link (for splotchy effects) no longer works.

That's too bad.

weird, it works for me. maybe dropbox has problems, try again later.

That was a crazy quick response Selgin. I never expected anyone to respond, lol. Thanks, I'll try again later.

made a tutorial on using those effects.

Thanks GCharb! Much appreciated!!!

You are quite welcome, and don't be shy about asking questions, the peoples from this forum are quite good at that and more then willing to do so!

GCharb,

I've noticed. I've never been involved in a forum with so many kind and helpful people. This place is amazing.

I went through your Sun/Planet "splotchy" Tutorial. I would honestly pay for such clear and precise instruction. You're a great teacher. Thanks!

Then you are in luck as I am working on a set of commercial videos on character animation.

Heheh, thanks for the feedback!

Awesome! Keep me posted. I went through all of Mark Bremmer's tutorials (multiple times) as well as "Cartoon Zack's" videos. Learned a lot. I would gladly pay for your hard work and knowledge. Let me know.
