The techniques used in this piece was a tool called Gradient Mesh, which is creating a structured mesh that resemble 3D depth around a 2D object and then applying individual gradient at each vector point. This was the first time I&#8217;ve used Gradient Mesh and I think it produces a nice result. It allows multiple gradients to be blended in from all directions and creates a realistic image.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few tutorials on Gradient Mesh available online if you google search. The best method of creating Mesh is starting from a box and then adding mesh lines inside and adjusting the vector handles as you go along to make the curves.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a title=\"Stare at Apples in Pairs Progress\" href=\"http:\/\/raykit.co.uk\/blog\/images\/raykitshum_2d_apple_a.jpg\"  alt=\"Apples Progress\" rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\">here<\/a> to see the Gradient Mesh selected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a vector image of a pair of apples.
