i have a few vectors, which are grouped...is there a tool that i can manipulate them with to achieve an effect similar to photoshop's "perspective" option?..or how would i do that?...
thanks....

just found effect_free distort which kinda works...but it get fucked up when i rotate it....
- Bluejam0
The vector effects plug-in would do the job...
- ganon0
not familiar with that, where can i get it...?

Effect > Warp then play with it a bit.
you can get multple/grouped objects to follow one perspective.=)

I'm still waiting for Adobe to BUILD THAT INTO ILLUSTRATOR
Corel Draw had it in 1995
I'm dead serious.
Illustrator is STILL playing catch up to the vector tools in CorelDraw 4

ive had quite a bit of experience with corel draw, and i hate to say it, but there really are some things about it that are more efficient about it than AI. this happens to be one of those things. however, AI is still my vector weapon of choice. corel is a piece of gerbil dung for the most part.
yep. i said it. now corel is gonna come after me. . . i'm screwed.

Common guys.. learn your tools. The perspective distort has been in Illustrator for a while.
Select your artwork>
pic the free-distort tool>
click one one of the corners>
cmd-option-shift (mac) or ctrl-alt-shift (pc)>
drag

if you are talking about: effect menu_distort and transform_free distort..., i tried that but it messes up the distort if i rotate it....

Bio! hows the new job?
- Bio0
holy shit. nice tip monty. took me a few seconds to realize that ya gotta start draggin and THEN press the keys (of course then i saw the tip in the top that explained that haha).
new job is goin great (other than a 7 day work week). i have soooo fucking much to do that it is making me more warped than before. doing stuff for CCR and Alison Kraus and all kindsa shit for the casinos we own. i dont sleep enough and forget to eat a lot of the times. but hey! that is the way i lke it. at least as long as i am a single guy focusing on a career. i'll worry about slowing down when i meet a smart, slutty nurse.
my brain stopped working at approx. 9:45 this morning. hows shit up in MON?

That free distort tool in Ill and the free transform tool in ps aren't the same things. The ps tool is way better. The ill tool needs to be able to do exactly what the Ps tool is doing. By now it should be. But it aint.
- dopepope0
and that KPT filter was the only real way of doing what the free transform tool does in Ps, but the kPt filter doesn't work in ill10 and stands to reason it won't in ill11 either. I hope they work something into that is just as good.

Holy shit bio, 7-days work week! Damn! Im busy as hell too. Without my weekends I'd go nuts.
But the plus side when you working that much is that you dont have time to spend the cash, so the money piles up pretty quick! I bet you can afford a slutty nurse http://ashttp://wehttp://speak!
- Bio0
hehehe. money wont be piling up for another month or so. gotta get moving expenses in the bank first so that i can move my ass up here. i still have to drive 2 hours a day jus to work here. i have no radio in my car, so i have to sing at the top of my voice just to stay awake. hehe. just another reason why i need a slutty nurse.
glad to hear youre stayin busy man. it is far better than the alternative. . . i think. haha

Bio...does one really need a reason for a slutty nurse?
