gradient mesh to banding effect Anonymous 2016-06-17 11:32:36 Post No. 273583 [Report]
Hello /gd/ I'm fairly experience with illustrator but I can't figure out this one. I want to convert a smooth gradient from a gradient mesh to shades like the image on the right.

The work I'm doing has complex shapes so blend steps isn't an option here.

This effect was achieved by rasterizing the gradient mesh on the left and auto tracing it with a limited color pallete using Image Trace, but this is a retarded way to do it and the results aren't that great.

Could you guys help me out? I don't know if theres a plugin to do such job, I've been on Astute's website but couldn't find anything handy

Object>Rasterize
Image Trace>16 Colors (expand image trace window and adjust the number of colors to your liking. 10 seemed to work pretty well.)
(optional)
Object>Expand
Object>Live Paint>Make
(select the Live Paint Bucket)

Thanks but thats what I did in the first place to achieve pic related. You don't even need to live paint it.. I was looking for a workflow that didn't included the rasterize/trace option because it's intensive and results aren't that great, it's like giving two steps to front and one backwards..
