blend in illustrator? Its a plugin for illustrator. never used it b4 but i think it does this type of stuff

I saw photoshop because it looks like they have gradients overlayed to get the lines to go from dark and light

is there not something called blend in illustrator where you say do this line and then fucking blend the cunt till it forms this line.

looks like an illustrator blend between a series of lines, then given a gradient fill.

does the blend tool not blend colour as well as line? so one line would be green and the other blue and all the blend stages in between would gradually go from green to blue?

d74 - I like that (~). Not quite what I was looking for though. Somebody must be an illustrator wizard. Does anybody have any idea as to what you would call this type of effect/illustration? It's a bit like a spirograph...? I don't know.
I don't think the blend tool does it...

"BARCODE PLANTAGE transforms a simple product bar code
into a unique tree in the garden of globalisation"The only real way to do anything like this is with a script (otherwise what's the point?) I've used Flash and Processing for this kind of thing, generating paths and outputting as SVG to Illustrator... It can be surprisingly hard to fake this sort of thing.
- Read some more about the creator Danial Becker, seems he used processing for this.kingsteven
- Your jokeing right, a script, hahaharoundabout

This is obviously the blend tool. Come on Stoph, why not?
And I don't understand why folks are saying the gradient comes from photoshop. Illustrator can gradient blend along a line or narrow brush.- 'cept it's neither... it's thier own application (written in processing).kingsteven
- I don't know, thats why I is asking you lot! :)Stoph

kingsteven's right (he noted my above comment), that IS processing. Guess it's not so obvious as I thought, especially since I code procedural art in Processing from time to time, doh!
Good eye kingsteven.
Nevertheless, this can still be duplicated in Illustrator if you wish. Ad the gradients too, if not with blends then with layer blending modes (in the transparency palette). create a gradient square over the top of your line work and set it to ?color? or whatever other mode looks right.

there is a tutorial on Layers Magazine website, I seen it just the other day, its easy to achieve.
