gradient mesh - o - rama

Jul 10, 2008 14:03

So Draw a circle, then draw a smaller one and place it behind the first...

give them both the default fill and stroke.

Pathfinder>Minus back...

Congrat's you've got a donut!

Now try to put a gradient mesh on that "O" shape...NO WORKING FOR ME!!!

Appearance Panel says it's a compound path, so you release the compound path and it makes it two circles again....GRRRR

I want a shape that has a hole in it to take gradient meshes, but apparently all shapes with holes in them are Compound Paths....blah.

Anyone, thoughts, ideas?
