  i reckon it might be a cheat, 4 separate boxes with their own gradients that match up.

  • I agree, but you only need 3 boxes... 2 above, 1 below.– ETM

  I answered a similar question to this a couple of years back, which I'm pretty sure could be bodged to fit your needs, but I can't find the file I used (which is strange, because I don't usually delete anything).

  Anyhoo, if it's important enough to you, you could invest in 'mesh tools' from http://members.shaw.ca/spvincent… ($30, Mac only)

  i bet you could get really close to this... and even exactly this if you spent enough time... using the gradient mesh tool.

  • Try it.

  oh actually i think i know this, harkens back to old school AI before grads..

  the blend command. draw a line and copy rotate on end point on intervals to 360°. adjust stroke color value of each line to mimic desired grad. select all and hit Blend.

  lemme try.

  • Aye, this is kind of where I'm at in trying to work this out.– detritus1/3

    i think you just won– rodzilla2/3

    worked!

  • now without the wee white lines :)
    
    nice wan.– detritus1/4

    you could fill in the tiny spaces by increasing the stroke width or increasing the blend frequency in blend options– horton2/4

    the white lines are what I was having trouble with as well. so what to do.
    
    – rodzilla3/4

    I was kidding - your lines were far wee'r than the bloody gaping gaps I had going in my aborted attempt!– detritus4/4

  • that's using a .25 stroke.. gotta be thin, using a wider stroke looks odd overlapped on the first and last step– horton

• monNom

  another option:

  1) draw a box
  2) fill with linear gradient
  3) object>expand (255 levels ought to do well)
  4) drag to brushes palette and create 'art brush'
  5) apply brush to a circle and adjust stroke with until it all matches up.
  6) clipping-mask as necessary

  • note: you probably need to release a clipping mask on the expanded object– monNom
