One of the coolest new features of Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 was without a doubt the Freeform Gradient. We covered it already in a few other Illustrator tutorial videos, but this time I decided to compare it to the Gradient Mesh. They are surprisingly similar and yet different. So let’s see if we can find out which one is better!

thank you, your video was very helpful. [ASK] if I have a design with AI CC 2019 using "freeform gradient", then my friend wants to open in AI CC 2015 or below, how can I make my friend edit the design that I made? is there any way besides using "mesh tools"? because I've tried, the "freeform gradient" that I sent became a raster image . thank you

Daang, my life was already good with my Gradient Work Process, but now with that FreeForm, everything became even better, thank you for both videos about the FreeForm. The funny part is that I knew about the Gradient Mesh already, but it didn't work well and I ended up thinking that it was the only other alternative to Gradients, that was, until I found that other video you made about the FreeForm.

Gradient meshes don’t work well with complicated shapes. They tend to break or look very distorted. There’s different ways to get around it but I guess the freedform tool was Adobes answer to gradient mesh like gradients on complicated shapes.

Well explained and nice vidéo. I have an issue tough when exporting theses gradients in .SVG (the mesh gradients) maybe someone could help me out? Basicly the gradients are rasterized and treated has an image... i have the choice to embed or link the image.... but it's simply a mesh gradient. Am i missing something? or is that the normal behavior that you can't export these in .SVG?

Hi Martin! Thank you for the video, it's a great tool and I like it very much. But it seems like there's no way to make it compatible with previous versions of Illustator. I mean there's no something like "expand" for this Free Form Gradient (for example to make a gradient mesh out of it). Is that so? This expand option seemed so obvious for me, I didn't expect I can't do this. But I can only turn it into raster image. Or I'm wrong? Thank you!
@YesImaDesigner
@YesImaDesigner 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, you are right, currently there is no expand option available for Freeform Gradients. It's a good idea to have them turned into Gradient Mesh when using Expand, hopefully they will make that possible in future updates. In the latest update they made Recolor Artwork work with Freeform Gradients, so it shows that there is a chance of seeing future improvements.

So I'm trying to intentionally overlap mesh points to create a certain effect, but instead of creating a smooth hard edge, it is a jagged edge and this jagged edge shows even on export. Any ideas what is causing this? I've already tried CPU viewing (turning GPU off), anti-aliasing is always checked. Not sure what is causing this but I know a smooth edge can be achieved, I just...am not sure what's wrong with my settings?
@JustLovely821
@JustLovely821 3 жыл бұрын
and because the jagged edge shows on export, I really don't think it's just a 'GPU' processing issue. additionally, I don't get hard edges (so far) anywhere else in illustrator on shapes besides when I try to overlap mesh points. any help would be extremely appreciated as this problem has really stumped me!
