oh yes thank you... but now i found that it gets rasterised when i export. is there no way to create what i want without rasterising?

i need to create what is done using the Illustrator Gradient along stroke property

You used the vector brush method, right? the problem is that it gets rasterised

the direct linear gradient method doesn't work for other scenarios when i want the gradient to follow a path

for eg, here if i want one end to be green and the other end to be red

Thanks for the all the replies

No, this isn't possible at the moment unless you go to the trouble of making a gradient texture to use in a vector brush... We have much grander plans when it comes to gradients and I'm not prepared to mention what it is right now because it won't be as much fun when we do the big reveal in the future if you already knew what was coming! ;)

So im here 4 years later needing high definition gradient along the path and if i get it right those "grander plans when it comes to gradients" are still just on paper somewhere archived in basement or is it finally comming in reasonably near feature or it was completely rejected somewhere in the process? :)

‚Grander plans … when we do the big reveal in the future' — it is now the year 2020 and nothing has happened in this respect. Pity! ☹️

It is a pity that it hasn't happened yet, but we've been busy doing other things... this hasn't been forgotten about...

Hi everyone, just joined the forum and this is my first post so, please be gentle!

I hope I'm not hijacking the op's request but, I wonder if the requirement being asked for is something like the new logo which Apple has created for it's 'Spring Loaded' eventgsmarena_00.jpg.09fe20a1c847ada9812d3264be3d7414.jpg

I've tried to replicate this myself using a linear gradient but, when moving the nodes of the path, it looks like the gradient is static like a mask. I'm trying to get the gradient to 'stick' to the path no matter how I manipulate it

I believe it's all said on page 1 of this thread:

Hey there,

maybe another approach to this. It is a combination of Texture Brush and Layer Adjustment. Using a rounded or squared Brush with a grdient from White to Black creates the following gradient. To set any adjustable colored gradient on top use the Layer Adjustment and define the colors that you want. Move the colors in the gradient to easily set their position on the curve.

Damn it! What a trick! Wisely 👍

This would be a good addition to these brushes:

I can't seem to get this to work, probably because I do not have the right kind of texture brush to work with. I would appreciate it very much if someone could post an example of the brush they are using for this & an AD file using it plus a gradient Layer Adjustment.

Here is a set of files. I think this is what is being discussed.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Does the brush need to be a textured Image brush for this to work?

Easter Egg! This file also contains an example of how to turn off noise for a gradient 👍
