| May 8, 2015 at 16:44 | comment | added | joojaa | Well its now the 3rd version of answer. No you could not bend half dots very well, you can however cut the dots before bending and theb you could. You dont need a clipping mask a line and trim will do just fine. Same idea after all just one more step on the way. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 15:11 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | @joojaa I actually had real trouble understanding your answer (might be because I have a cold today...), in fact I've only just twigged that the key part of what you're doing is selecting a section of the artwork then making that section of the artwork into a envelope distort. Nice trick! Am I right in thinking though that it couldn't, for example, warp half a dot and leave the other half unwarped like in your white-on-black example? (Unless you used a copy and a clipping mask for each 'fold' then warped the masks?) | |

There might be other such things too... I've editted a note about that in. "Is there something like proportional editing in Illustrator?" sounds like an interesting question | |
| May 8, 2015 at 14:18 | comment | added | wchargin | Does Illustrator have a feature like proportional editing? That could help to create smoother curves more easily. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 11:40 | comment | added | joojaa | Sure, basically my answer is the same as yours. I just use the mesh a bit differently so that i can do hard angled creases (which is the posters problem IMHO as he states that he tried using the method you describe, hard to say). In any case i am aware that my method is more involved i would have done it this way if not for the creases. I wouldnt use the displacement method as it is hard to design the shape you want to bend up with it. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 11:30 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | Yes, but all except yours are based on rasterized (pixel) graphics | |
| May 8, 2015 at 11:19 | comment | added | joojaa | Please note: All the described methods work with arbitrary graphics. | |
