Working with mesh fills

A mesh fill works like a gradient fill but uses a more complex fill path, with a

grid or "mesh" of many nodes representing separate key colours. The overall

effect, especially useful for multifaceted highlighting, arises from the colour

gradients that spread between each of these nodes.

As an example, the Mesh Fill Tool can be used to dramatic effect on a sports

car's bodywork.

To enable the Mesh Fill Tool:

Select Mesh Fill Tool on the Drawing toolbar's Fill flyout. With

the tool enabled, a mesh of editable patches and nodes are revealed

(above).

A mesh fill is applied to an object via the Swatch tab's Gradient gallery (see

Setting fill properties on p. 137). You can edit the mesh itself with the Mesh Fill

Tool and the accompanying context toolbar to achieve unique results. The path

lines that connect nodes in a mesh fill are actually curves, so editing the mesh is

similar to the method for Editing lines and shapes (see p. 65). Simple warping

effects, colour spread changes and path line curvature can all be affected. The

tool lets you reshape curved path lines by adjusting one or more nodes and their

control handles.
