1

00:00:00.00 --> 00:00:01.06

- [Voiceover] In this

movie we're gonna build up



2

00:00:01.06 --> 00:00:03.02

the appearance of depth by adding



3

00:00:03.02 --> 00:00:05.06

a bunch of off-set strokes.



4

00:00:05.06 --> 00:00:06.09

Now word of warning up front here,



5

00:00:06.09 --> 00:00:09.04

this movie involves a

fair amount of repetition



6

00:00:09.04 --> 00:00:12.03

because in addition to

assigning a transform effect



7

00:00:12.03 --> 00:00:15.05

to this yellow stroke that we

applied in the previous movie,



8

00:00:15.05 --> 00:00:18.04

we're gonna need to add

seven additional strokes



9

00:00:18.04 --> 00:00:21.00

in order to get the

smooth color transition.



10

00:00:21.00 --> 00:00:24.02

The upshot though, is that

we'll end up with this beautiful



11

00:00:24.02 --> 00:00:26.07

honey comb effect as opposed to the fairly



12

00:00:26.07 --> 00:00:28.09

rinky-dink effect that we have right now.



13

00:00:28.09 --> 00:00:30.05

So, if you're working along with me,



14

00:00:30.05 --> 00:00:32.03

make sure you have that polygon selected



15

00:00:32.03 --> 00:00:34.02

and you can confirm that

by the appearance of



16

00:00:34.02 --> 00:00:36.08

the word 'polygon' or at

least 'path' over here



17

00:00:36.08 --> 00:00:38.09

in the far left side of the control panel.



18

00:00:38.09 --> 00:00:41.04

Then, go ahead and click

on that yellow stroke



19

00:00:41.04 --> 00:00:43.05

that we assigned in the previous movie.



20

00:00:43.05 --> 00:00:45.01

You might wanna twirl it open as well.



21

00:00:45.01 --> 00:00:47.08

And then, click on the fx icon down here



22

00:00:47.08 --> 00:00:50.00

in the bottom left corner

of the Appearance panel.



23

00:00:50.00 --> 00:00:52.01

Go up here to Distort & Transform,



24

00:00:52.01 --> 00:00:54.03

and then choose the Transform command.



25

00:00:54.03 --> 00:00:55.08

Alright we wanna be able

to see what we're doing



26

00:00:55.08 --> 00:00:57.05

so turn on the preview checkbox



27

00:00:57.05 --> 00:01:00.02

and then change the horizontal

move value to 14 points



28

00:01:00.02 --> 00:01:03.03

and the vertical value

not to positive 14 points,



29

00:01:03.03 --> 00:01:04.09

that'll move things down.



30

00:01:04.09 --> 00:01:08.00

Rather, go ahead and change

it to negative 14 points



31

00:01:08.00 --> 00:01:11.02

and press the tab key to

move the stroke upward.



32

00:01:11.02 --> 00:01:12.04

And so in other words,



33

00:01:12.04 --> 00:01:13.07

we're gonna keep these values in parody



34

00:01:13.07 --> 00:01:15.08

but the horizontal value

is always gonna be positive



35

00:01:15.08 --> 00:01:18.03

and the vertical value is

always gonna be negative.



36

00:01:18.03 --> 00:01:20.06

At which point, go ahead and click OK.



37

00:01:20.06 --> 00:01:23.01

Alright now we're gonna

work our way down the stack



38

00:01:23.01 --> 00:01:25.02

because after all we've already

created the rearmost stroke



39

00:01:25.02 --> 00:01:28.08

at 28 points so we're gonna

be working our way down and



40

00:01:28.08 --> 00:01:32.00

we're gonna make our strokes

thicker and darker as we go.



41

00:01:32.00 --> 00:01:33.09

So with that yellow stroke selected,



42

00:01:33.09 --> 00:01:37.01

drop down to the little page

icon in the bottom right corner



43

00:01:37.01 --> 00:01:38.06

of the Appearance panel and click on it



44

00:01:38.06 --> 00:01:40.06

and that'll make a copy of the stroke



45

00:01:40.06 --> 00:01:42.05

and it's transform effect.



46

00:01:42.05 --> 00:01:45.01

Now go ahead and twirl

the old stroke closed



47

00:01:45.01 --> 00:01:47.00

and twirl the new stroke open.



48

00:01:47.00 --> 00:01:48.09

So again we're gonna be

working our way down.



49

00:01:48.09 --> 00:01:51.07

Go ahead and click on that

stroke in order to select it



50

00:01:51.07 --> 00:01:54.03

and then shift click on its color swatch



51

00:01:54.03 --> 00:01:56.03

to bring up the CMYK values.



52

00:01:56.03 --> 00:01:58.04

So very important, you had

to select the stroke first



53

00:01:58.04 --> 00:02:00.05

and then shift click on its color swatch.



54

00:02:00.05 --> 00:02:02.07

Now we'll change the magenta value to 70



55

00:02:02.07 --> 00:02:05.05

and we'll take the yellow

value up to 90 percent



56

00:02:05.05 --> 00:02:08.01

and then press the enter

key or the return key



57

00:02:08.01 --> 00:02:09.05

on a Mac to accept that change.



58

00:02:09.05 --> 00:02:11.08

We want a line weight value of 12 points



59

00:02:11.08 --> 00:02:13.06

and then let's go ahead and zoom in



60

00:02:13.06 --> 00:02:15.09

so that we can see things very close.



61

00:02:15.09 --> 00:02:19.01

Now you'll see that we have

this orange edge right there



62

00:02:19.01 --> 00:02:21.01

but we wanna movie it

down and to the left.



63

00:02:21.01 --> 00:02:22.08

So go ahead and click

on the word 'Transform'



64

00:02:22.08 --> 00:02:25.06

and take the horizontal

value down to 13 points



65

00:02:25.06 --> 00:02:29.01

and then take the vertical

value up to negative 13.



66

00:02:29.01 --> 00:02:31.05

So you need to press the up

arrow key to make that happen.



67

00:02:31.05 --> 00:02:33.05

Then turn on the preview checkbox



68

00:02:33.05 --> 00:02:36.00

and you'll see things

shift down and to the left.



69

00:02:36.00 --> 00:02:37.02

Alright now click OK.



70

00:02:37.02 --> 00:02:39.05

I'll select that orange

stroke and I'll click



71

00:02:39.05 --> 00:02:41.01

on the little page icon

to make a copy of it.



72

00:02:41.01 --> 00:02:44.01

Then twirl that one closed,

twirl the new one open.



73

00:02:44.01 --> 00:02:46.03

Go ahead and click on

it to make it active.



74

00:02:46.03 --> 00:02:49.06

Shift click on its color swatch

to bring up the CMYK values.



75

00:02:49.06 --> 00:02:51.07

Good news, this is the last time you need



76

00:02:51.07 --> 00:02:54.07

to set the magenta value to

85 percent as it turns out,



77

00:02:54.07 --> 00:02:57.02

and then set the Y value to 100 percent.



78

00:02:57.02 --> 00:02:59.06

The only thing we're going

to adjust from now on



79

00:02:59.06 --> 00:03:02.08

is the K value which for now

we're gonna set to 15 percent.



80

00:03:02.08 --> 00:03:05.00

And this is why we're

working in the CMYK document



81

00:03:05.00 --> 00:03:07.03

by the way, just makes it easier to adjust



82

00:03:07.03 --> 00:03:10.08

the luminous values independently

of the color values.



83

00:03:10.08 --> 00:03:12.04

Alright so I'll go ahead

and accept that change.



84

00:03:12.04 --> 00:03:15.03

I'll take the line

weight of just 16 points



85

00:03:15.03 --> 00:03:17.05

and then I'll click on

the word 'Transform'



86

00:03:17.05 --> 00:03:19.04

and I'll turn on the preview checkbox



87

00:03:19.04 --> 00:03:21.06

and I'll take the horizontal

value down to 12 points



88

00:03:21.06 --> 00:03:24.06

and I'll take the vertical

value up to negative 12 points.



89

00:03:24.06 --> 00:03:26.06

And you can see this guy right here shift



90

00:03:26.06 --> 00:03:28.05

once again down and to the left,



91

00:03:28.05 --> 00:03:31.02

at which point I'll click

OK to accept that change.



92

00:03:31.02 --> 00:03:33.02

Alright we got a bunch more strokes to go



93

00:03:33.02 --> 00:03:34.07

so go ahead and select this one,



94

00:03:34.07 --> 00:03:37.01

click the little page icon

at the bottom of the panel.



95

00:03:37.01 --> 00:03:40.01

Twirl the old stroke closed,

twirl the new one open.



96

00:03:40.01 --> 00:03:41.07

Click on that new stroke to select it.



97

00:03:41.07 --> 00:03:44.01

Go ahead and shift click on

this color swatch to bring up



98

00:03:44.01 --> 00:03:47.04

the CMYK values and set

the K value to 35 percent.



99

00:03:47.04 --> 00:03:50.04

So at first, we're working

very incrementally here



100

00:03:50.04 --> 00:03:53.05

with the K value, and then

once we get past 50 percent



101

00:03:53.05 --> 00:03:55.01

we'll work in bigger increments,



102

00:03:55.01 --> 00:03:56.09

and then incrementally right at the edge



103

00:03:56.09 --> 00:03:59.06

and that'll give us some

nice, smooth transitions.



104

00:03:59.06 --> 00:04:01.03

Alright now click on

that line weight value



105

00:04:01.03 --> 00:04:02.09

and take it up to 17 points.



106

00:04:02.09 --> 00:04:05.04

Click on the word 'Transform'

and take the horizontal value



107

00:04:05.04 --> 00:04:08.04

down to 10, and take the

vertical value up to negative 10.



108

00:04:08.04 --> 00:04:10.02

To see what happens go ahead and turn on



109

00:04:10.02 --> 00:04:12.01

the preview checkbox at

which point you'll see



110

00:04:12.01 --> 00:04:13.07

this new stroke emerge.



111

00:04:13.07 --> 00:04:14.08

Alright now press the enter key,



112

00:04:14.08 --> 00:04:17.00

or the return key on a

Mac to accept that change.



113

00:04:17.00 --> 00:04:18.07

I'll click on the stroke,



114

00:04:18.07 --> 00:04:20.04

very important to make sure it's active,



115

00:04:20.04 --> 00:04:22.08

then click on the little page

icon to make a copy of it.



116

00:04:22.08 --> 00:04:25.01

Close that stroke. Open the new one.



117

00:04:25.01 --> 00:04:26.09

Go ahead and click on it to select it.



118

00:04:26.09 --> 00:04:28.05

Shift click on its color swatch.



119

00:04:28.05 --> 00:04:31.05

Change the K value this

time to 50 percent.



120

00:04:31.05 --> 00:04:33.05

So we're mid-way there,

then press the enter key,



121

00:04:33.05 --> 00:04:35.05

the return key on a Mac

to accept that change.



122

00:04:35.05 --> 00:04:38.00

Let's take the line weight

value up to 18 points



123

00:04:38.00 --> 00:04:39.09

so we're working in baby steps here.



124

00:04:39.09 --> 00:04:42.00

Click on the word 'Transform,'

take he horizontal value



125

00:04:42.00 --> 00:04:44.03

down to 8, take the vertical

value up to negative 8.



126

00:04:44.03 --> 00:04:46.06

Turn on the preview checkbox,

there's our new stroke.



127

00:04:46.06 --> 00:04:49.02

Click OK. Go ahead and select that stroke.



128

00:04:49.02 --> 00:04:51.07

Click on the little page

icon to make a copy of it.



129

00:04:51.07 --> 00:04:53.03

Close that stroke, open the new one.



130

00:04:53.03 --> 00:04:55.07

Let's go ahead and click

on it to select it.



131

00:04:55.07 --> 00:04:57.06

Shift click on its color

swatch to make it active.



132

00:04:57.06 --> 00:04:58.06

(deep breath)



133

00:04:58.06 --> 00:05:00.07

Take the K value up to 65 percent.



134

00:05:00.07 --> 00:05:02.00

Press the enter key,



135

00:05:02.00 --> 00:05:03.09

the return key on a Mac,

to accept that change.



136

00:05:03.09 --> 00:05:06.00

Click on the line weight

value, take it up to 19 points.



137

00:05:06.00 --> 00:05:08.00

Click on the word 'Transform.'



138

00:05:08.00 --> 00:05:11.00

Let's this time, take the

horizontal value down to 6 points.



139

00:05:11.00 --> 00:05:13.03

We'll take the vertical value

up to negative 6 points.



140

00:05:13.03 --> 00:05:15.02

Turn on the preview checkbox, there it is.



141

00:05:15.02 --> 00:05:17.00

That guy right there. Click OK.



142

00:05:17.00 --> 00:05:19.01

Then click on the new stroke to select it.



143

00:05:19.01 --> 00:05:21.00

Click on the little page

icon to make a copy of it.



144

00:05:21.00 --> 00:05:23.01

Close the old stroke, open the new stroke.



145

00:05:23.01 --> 00:05:25.01

Go ahead and click on

it to make it active.



146

00:05:25.01 --> 00:05:26.04

Shift click on its color swatch.



147

00:05:26.04 --> 00:05:29.09

Take the K value this

time up to 80 percent,



148

00:05:29.09 --> 00:05:32.00

so we're getting very dark and deep.



149

00:05:32.00 --> 00:05:32.08

Press the enter key,



150

00:05:32.08 --> 00:05:34.07

the return key on a Mac

to accept that change.



151

00:05:34.07 --> 00:05:36.04

Go ahead and click on

the line weight value.



152

00:05:36.04 --> 00:05:37.08

Take it up to 20 points.



153

00:05:37.08 --> 00:05:39.05

Go ahead and click on

the line weight value.



154

00:05:39.05 --> 00:05:41.08

Take it up to 20 points.

Click on the word 'Transform.'



155

00:05:41.08 --> 00:05:44.00

Turn on the preview checkbox this time.



156

00:05:44.00 --> 00:05:46.02

Click on the horizontal

move value and take it down



157

00:05:46.02 --> 00:05:50.00

to three points and watch

it emerge in the background.



158

00:05:50.00 --> 00:05:52.03

Then click on the vertical

value and press the up arrow key



159

00:05:52.03 --> 00:05:56.01

three times in order to

move the stroke downward.



160

00:05:56.01 --> 00:05:58.04

Then click OK to accept that change.



161

00:05:58.04 --> 00:06:00.09

Alright we have just one stroke left.



162

00:06:00.09 --> 00:06:03.06

And you make it by clicking on the stroke,



163

00:06:03.06 --> 00:06:05.09

clicking on the little page

icon to make a duplicate of it,



164

00:06:05.09 --> 00:06:08.00

go ahead and twirl the old stroke closed,



165

00:06:08.00 --> 00:06:11.02

twirl the new one open,

click on it to select it,



166

00:06:11.02 --> 00:06:14.05

shift click on its color swatch

to bring up the CMYK values.



167

00:06:14.05 --> 00:06:16.08

We're gonna take the K

value up to 90 percent,



168

00:06:16.08 --> 00:06:19.07

so just 10 percent lighter

than the bottom stroke,



169

00:06:19.07 --> 00:06:21.07

the darkest one which

is set to 100 percent.



170

00:06:21.07 --> 00:06:23.00

Press the enter key,



171

00:06:23.00 --> 00:06:24.08

or the return key on a

Mac to accept that change.



172

00:06:24.08 --> 00:06:28.07

Let's take the line weight

value this time up to 22 points.



173

00:06:28.07 --> 00:06:31.01

We don't want any transform this time.



174

00:06:31.01 --> 00:06:33.04

So I want you to look on

screen at what's gonna happen.



175

00:06:33.04 --> 00:06:36.04

This little sliver is the new

stroke if you can make it out.



176

00:06:36.04 --> 00:06:38.01

But if you click on the transform affect,



177

00:06:38.01 --> 00:06:40.04

not on the word 'Transform,'

but on the effect,



178

00:06:40.04 --> 00:06:43.03

in an empty space right

here, then just go ahead



179

00:06:43.03 --> 00:06:46.00

and click on the trash icon,

and that'll get rid of it.



180

00:06:46.00 --> 00:06:47.07

But I want you to notice

what happens on screen



181

00:06:47.07 --> 00:06:49.07

as soon as I click on the trash icon,



182

00:06:49.07 --> 00:06:51.06

this guy moves outward like so



183

00:06:51.06 --> 00:06:54.05

because that's where the

stroke really belongs



184

00:06:54.05 --> 00:06:57.00

if there were no effect applied to it,



185

00:06:57.00 --> 00:06:58.04

which there isn't anymore.



186

00:06:58.04 --> 00:07:00.06

Alright now you can just go

ahead and twirl that guy closed



187

00:07:00.06 --> 00:07:02.05

if you want to, and

then press control zero,



188

00:07:02.05 --> 00:07:05.02

or command zero on a Mac, to zoom out.



189

00:07:05.02 --> 00:07:07.09

Alright folks, that in

mind-numbing detail,



190

00:07:07.09 --> 00:07:09.09

is how you build up the effect of depth



191

00:07:09.09 --> 00:07:12.03

by adding a bunch of off-set strokes,



192

00:07:12.03 --> 00:07:15.00

here inside the Appearance panel.
