Hello Guys/Gals,
I'm a quadriplegic male aspiring to all things geeky :-)
I have just started my adventure with Illustrator CS6, loving it so far…
I have wandered into the woods a.k.a. Gradient Mesh Tool… And here I thought the pen tool was Awesome
I have played around with the actions features in Photoshop… I was even brave enough to record and use a couple of my own actions. Makes it much easier for the repetitiveness.
Back to illustrator though…
I use the human face is an example…
I will use the pen tool with no stroke and now fill to make an outline around my subjects pupil…
Then I will go to the menu and click on "Object" >Create Gradient Mesh (depending on what I am outlining, I will adjust the amount of rows and columns accordingly)…
then comes the ultra long boring process of using the direct selection tool and selecting one anchor point at a time, then switching to the eyedropper tool and selecting the color beneath it (the color beneath the selected anchor point)…
Just to make things clear, I make sure I'm in outline mode/view…
This is where a VBScript would come in most handy…
By selecting all the anchor points at the same time if possible and then coloring the anchor points that is below the mesh outline…
I have written a few very simple console applications in C#, but… VBScript's keywords, statements & functions are a bit different…
If somebody could help me out with the repetitive part of selecting anchor points and coloring them, that would be most appreciated…
Thank you in advance to anybody that would help.
Rob
