如果要我在Ai CC2018版本的新增功能中
If I had to choose one favourite feature that was added
挑一个最喜欢的
in CC 2018 update for
应该就是操控变形功能了
Illustrator it has to be the Puppet Warptransformation feature.
这是一种
This is something
我们在PS中用过的功能
that we had
但现在在Ai中也可以使用了
in Photoshop but now it’s available here in Illustrator to apply
可以用于矢量图的绘制
it on our vector artwork.
假设你创作了一个角色
So let’s sayyou created a character but then your
但你的客户要求你调整一下姿势
client asks you to make some tweaks to
假设在这个例子中
the posture and maybe in this case we
我们想要这个印第安小女孩
want this little Native American girl to shoot the arrow up
将箭射向天空
in the sky and not to
而不是旁边
the side. So
如要实现这个 可以使用这个神奇的新工具
if we want to do that now we can use this amazing new tool called the
也就是”操控变形”
Puppet Warp tool and you can
如你所见它是和”自由变换”在一起的
see it’s joined together with the Free Transform
并没有快捷键
tool and it doesn’t actually have a shortcut so
所以如果你想要使用
if you want to do that you
你可以随时在“编辑”菜单中指定一个快捷键
can always assign it from the Edit menu keyboard shortcuts but
现在
for now I’m just
我就直接选择它了
going to select it and notice
注意我这里已经有一个定义点在腿上了
that I already have a point here defined for
我要在这边再加一个点
this leg, and I’m going to add another one
直接点击就可以
on this side simply by just clicking on it
然后我再来加一个 或许
and then I’m going to add another one maybe
加在头上 大概这里
on the head, somewhere like there.
现在我来点击并移动
Now if I click and start moving
我们能看到整个角色
that we see already how the whole character is
是如何移动的
moving it’s almost
几乎就像是动画一样 这个办法进行变形
like an animation and it is a brilliant way to already start
效果已经很好了
moving the character in the right direction but
但如果还想更进一步
if this is not enough then
我们可以这样做
what we can do is to click
点击这个圆圈进行旋转
on this circle and start rotating so we can even
我们甚至可以这样
do that and then
细致调整姿势 现在她是朝向天空了
of course refine the posture and now she looks up to the sky
如果我想 我还可以在箭上
and if I want I can also add another point
再加一个点
on the arrow if I want to make it
可以改变箭的长度
longer or not and
如果我想进一步修改
if I wanted to make any further changes I could define
就可以继续添加调整点 调整角色各部分
additional points and I can start moving these
但我们还是假设现在这样很好
around but let’s say we are happy
我很满意了
with these changes and I would like to
现在我希望调整一下这只浣熊
now make some changes to the raccoon so
让这个小家伙
let’s make sure
同样看向天空
that the little character also looks up in the sky so
所以我们再次使用”操控变形”工具
I’m going to use again the Puppet
我来定义这些调整点
Warp tool and I like to define these points
确保腿部固定
make sure that the legs are solid
这样就可以待在原处
so they are staying in place
然后我们可以选择头部
and then we can select the
对这个角色进行旋转
head and start turning this character as well in
转到合适的角度 然后略微调整头部
the right direction and twist the head as
接下来我们可以
well a bit and we can maybe also
调一下尾巴
start moving the tail
只要我想 就可以轻松实现
around so if I want I can do that just as easily and
进行设置
set it up maybe
调整为略微不同的角度 或许这个点
in a slightly different angle and maybe this point actually can
也可以旋转一下 就像这样
also be rotated for just something likethat.
我们再来看一下
So once again let’s have a look
这个角色的前后效果对比
before and after so this was the character
原图 以及略微调整之后
before and after a few changes
我们看到最好的一点是
this is what we see and the cool thing is
如果你想进一步调整
that if you want to make further
你可以选中角色
tweaks you can just select the character and
然后回到”操控变形”设置
go back to the same setup with the
这样你就再次看到这些点了
Puppet Warp, so you can always find these points later
可以继续进行调整
on and keep moving them around.
值得一提的是
It’s worth mentioning
你可以开关属性面板上的
that in the properties panel you can turn on and off
“显示网格”选项 还可以根据需要”扩展网格”
the Show Mesh option and you can also Expand the Mesh
但是默认情况
if you need to but by
我一般会关闭这个
default I would normally turn this off
因为它只是帮助我
because it just helps me to see it
更好的看到操作效果
better what I’m doing and
顺便说一下 在这个文件中我还把
by the way I also have in this document the
“显示边缘”选项关闭了 所以处于隐藏状态
Show Edges option disabled so it’s actually hidden
如果打开 你可以看出
if I turn on show edges you can
角色的线条就更多了
see that we have more lines on thecharacters.
再说一遍 如果使用”隐藏边缘”
It just again if I use Hide Edges
能够让我更清楚的看到复杂图形的变形效果
makes it easier to see whatI’m doing especially with complex illustrations.
那么
So
简而言之 这就是Ai CC2018中的”操控变形”工具了
in a nutshell that is the Puppet Warp in Adobe Illustrator
它为我们提供了一种
CC 2018 which offers a completely new way
适用于矢量图的全新交互和变形方式
of interacting and transforming our vector artwork.
