    FOR EVERYONE that has the problem of "The filter produced no results. Select two overlapping paths," I think I found solution!!! Try THIS:
    Select all of the dots that were made
    Go to Object>Compound Path>Make
    THEN, try selecting your shape plus the dots, then Intersect.
    That might work! It worked for me. Hope this helps!

    I hate that at 6:50 you did like 10 steps in 3 seconds. For the average dumbass like myself, I had to rewind about 10 times just to make sure I was doing everything step by step...
    And for whatever reason after uniting the dots and square, my "Expand" button is grayed out? Was there a keystroke you did somewhere without mentioning it?

    • @KeeponCreatingTV

      Hey Alan, just woke up! After you have rotated then and finished creating you effect, go up to 'Expand Appearance' You may need to do this twice. I would also recommend you ungroup, head to your pathfinder, hold alt and click the 'unite' icon. Then Click Expand. Now color change away! 😀

    Hey man, great video! I do the same exact thing when im making half tones in AI. - my issue with this method is always what mesh I should choose since my halftones are never created mathematically like they are in photoshop... usually in photoshop you can calculate the exact mesh that will render the best result but with this method I’m always guessing which mesh to use just based on appearance. Any tips on mesh choice with this method??

    • @KeeponCreatingTV
      @KeeponCreatingTV  4 года назад +1

      Hey Shaun, great to hear from you! How small are you going with your dots? If your up for some CSI you could print a reference sheet from photoshop of general dot breaks. Then when you come to print your custom illustrator version, you can try match as close too. May need a magnifier if your dots get really small. Generally if I was hand printing Fine Halftones I would go between a 77T (196us) and a 90T (230us), as it's hard going on the arms! Still love your print shop man!

      Hey EKA, photo's are a little different, but since your using photoshop you may already being using the halftone function in photoshop. This is where you can set dot size etc, so you can make your photo look more cartoon like to finer dots making it more real.

    Thats not halftone. Its blending and patterning dots.
    Halftone is when you generate dots from a picture.
