The shapes are now connected with shapes that mathematically reduce in size from the larger to the smaller shape.
When you are above a point of the shape the square will turn black to show that you’ve reached a point.Ĭlick one point on each of your shapes to implement the Blend tool. The cursor will become a square resembling the icon in the toolbox. For this example, the number 5 was entered.Ĭlick “OK” to accept the number you’ve typed in, and select each of your shapes with the Selection tool. This means that you can specify the number of steps between the objects simply by typing a number into the box. In this example, the two shapes will be “blended” using the Specified Steps option. Within the option box are three options for different types of blending: Smooth Color, Specified Steps, and Specified Distance. To get to the Blend tool options, double click on the icon in the tool box. The Blend icon in the Illustrator toolbox looks like a square and a circle being connected with dots. Have your big shape and your small shape separated from each other so it’ll be easy to see what’s happening. To try it out, begin by making two shapes: one large and one small. With it, you can make three-dimensional effects, interesting abstract backgrounds, or well-controlled gradients. Adobe Illustrator CS3’s Blend tool creates a sequence of shapes or colors that results in entirely new design effects.
