Hi, this is Anne for Graphic Design How To, and today we're going to talk about the Scallop,
Crystallize, and Wrinkle tools.
And these are all under the Width tool.
First, we're going to start out with the Scallop tool.
I've got a few different types of shapes here - I've got a solid shape...we'll hit CMD Y
so you can see the wireframe of these things.
I've got a solid shape with a white fill and a blue outline.
I've got live text, and then I also have a rectangle and then just a line.
I also have a light blue square out here as a background.
So I'm going to start up here and click and drag.
And you can see that it's taken everything that this outer circle is touching, and just
squeezing all the points in and actually creating points as it goes.
So we'll do it here, and then I'll go right in between here.
And when I get out here, it's going to take those points too.
Now I have this set on a pretty drastic amount of scallop.
So let's change that.
I'm going to undo - CMD Z - all the way back to where we were.
And I'm going to click once and then hit Return.
And to make your brush size smaller with this tool, you have to do it in here, you can't
just hit the bracket tools like you normally do.
So I'm going to make this 25 and 25.
You can also change the intensity right here of how much you want it to scallop.
And you can also change a lot of other options here.
So let's try this again.
As you can see, my circle is a lot smaller, so I'm going to click...and because that circle
is not crossing any lines, it's not going to do anything.
But when I go out here, you can kind of see that it's pulling that in and it's a lot smaller
now.
So I'm going to do that right here the same way.
Everywhere I cross this line, we're going to get some bumpiness and I'll zoom in so
you can see that a little bit better.
Now I'll get back on my Scallop tool and now you see what it's doing to it.
It's kind of cool, a really quick way to roughen something up.
Now if you do it on live text, it's not going to work at all.
To make it work on text, you have to outline your text.
So we'll hit SHIFT CMD O. And now we have outlined text.
That means we can't type into it anymore.
Let's get our Scallop tool now.
So now if we go along here, we can get some kind of weird effects going on there.
Let's go over to these two objects.
We've got a square, we've got a rectangle, and it'll pull from wherever those lines are,
wherever it crosses.
And now here's just a regular line.
Now this one is not doing anything at all.
Okay, I'm gonna undo and get us back to where we started again.
And now let's switch to the Crystallize tool.
I'm going to hit Return and change this back to 250.
So we can see how it works at a really large brush size.
And we'll start from out here.
And it does exactly the opposite, it makes it really blown out.
And this time the line by itself is affected by this tool.
So this is kind of cool if you want to really change up your corners really quickly, you
can just click once and kind of splat those corners out.
And I'll make this a little more... a little higher opacity so you can see.
Okay, let's undo all that.
And I'm going to click on that tool and hit Return.
We'll change the size to 50 this time, and we'll up the intensity to 50.
And now I'm going to go over this edge and see what happens.
So the intensity is still causing it to make big sections, but the brush size is so small
that it doesn't make such a huge change.
Now we get up here on the edge, you can see my crosshair.
If my crosshair is above where that line starts, it'll do it inwardly, like this.
Now if I drop down below, it's going to push it up.
And now let's try it with the line.
Right now the line is not working.
It seems really glitchy if you're using just lines, so maybe I wasn't clicking exactly
right on the line because it seems to be working fine now.
So that's the Crystallize tool.
And now let's move on to the Wrinkle tool.
We'll put it at 250 right now.
And this one, it seems kind of glitchy honestly.
Maybe it only works on horizontal lines.
I can't....right now I'm not having luck with it working on vertical lines.
Alright, so let's look at our settings here under Wrinkle Options.
We can see that we have 0% horizontal and 100% vertical.
So it'll only skew vertically, it won't skew horizontally, and that can be really helpful.
Let's go ahead and change this to 100 and see what it does.
Now we get all kinds of wrinkling going on.
It could be a quick way to get a lot of really crazy distortion.
Let's undo back to where we were.
And now, we'll change the size of the brush to 250.
And as I just go over the edge of this, it's just really roughening it a lot.
If we zoom in on this, you can see what it's done.
It's taken that edge and just made it really rough.
If you want to force it to do one certain object, you can always select that with the
V tool and then get back on your other tool and roughen around the edges.
And as I just hold the mouse here, it's still changing - it just constantly changes it.
That's why it looks weird as I'm doing this.
Okay, very interesting.
And it'll work the same way on a rectangle.
And then on this line, it doesn't seem to want to work with the line.
Oh, just make sure to click on it.
I think the reason for that is but you might not actually be on the line 100% and it won't
recognize it that way.
So if it's not working when you just mouse over it, go ahead and use your V tool, click
on it and then come down here and click on the Wrinkle tool and you should be able to
get those wrinkles.
Because it seems kind of hit or miss when you just allow it to mouse over.
Okay, so that's my video for this week.
I hope you liked it.
If you did, please click on the 'Thumbs up' button.
And I'll see you next week for another graphic design tutorial.
Thank you!!!
