Illustrator Gradient step and Rotate

I'm trying to create an effect similar to this:
I can to the rotate on it's own and I can create a stepped blend on it's own. But when I try to combine them it creates some weird blob. Anyone know how to achieve this and be able to change out the gradient colors by changing the end points (like you normally would with a blend). If any know of an illustrator script that will create random patterns using this technique, that would be even better.

- I used the regular blend tool, but it has its limitations on how far you rotate before it messes up.monospaced
- That's what I found too. When using irregular shapes it's even worse.voiceof

gradient mesh?

Must it be vector? You could create a greyscale blend in photoshop, then easily change the colors with 'typical gradient points' using a gradient map adjustment layer in photoshop.

create a circle 100pt, transparent fill, stroke width 100pt.
put a linear vertical gradient on the stroke.
expand appearance.
apply a twist filter (or any other transform) on the result.
crop the part you need.

weird, isn't it just a simple blend in illustrator? looks so simple

actually looking at the example closer, it looks more like a rectangle with a shadow copy rotated multiple times with changing fill color.

- Is illustrator still a thing?spunji
- No, absolutely no-one in the world uses Illustrator at all. For anything. In fact, I won't be using it today to create traffic and pedestrian diagrams.face_melter
- Was allowing changing tastes to affect what tool you used ever a thing?

- I use it less as my job has evolved, but there's hardly a better option for when you need to create a vector illustrationmonospaced

You can get some nice effects by blending two different shapes (I think that's what is above?)

How do you know it's not photoshop?
