Alex mar Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Does anyone know what this person did at around the 31 second mark. I saw that he converted it to curves, but I don't know what else he did.If anyone knows, please tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Are you asking about the 'Divide' operation?

Alex mar Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 No, when he converts the ellipses to curves, they outline show up that he divides with. Like in this picture. I'm trying to get those blue outlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Those blue lines are just selection outlines. You'll see them when you select all four rings with the Move Tool.

gdenby Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi, Alex mar, telemax's post might be right that the stroke(s) were expanded. Its also possible that the "donut" ellipses were use. The vid is hard to follow. Because the tute was going by to fast for you to catch it, as Alfred mentioned there was a boolean divide operation on the rings. There is a part of the tute where rectangles are being used to boolean subtract from the rings. There is a lot of node position tweaking to get various objects boundaries lined up for better addition. It is displaying how geometric operations can be used to form shapes that are quite refined.

You don't need much (if any) node position tweaking if you're reasonably careful when setting up the rings to begin with, but you do need to subtract a fifth ring to create the gap between the two small shapes on the left and the two larger shapes on the right.
