Warp - middle point of an effect?
-
Well, I think the warp options are fine.
Is a quick and easy way to some warp types.
Sometimes users just need only that.And the Envelope are for more specific needs.

@Subpath Thanks, your videos helped, you would make great tutorials on Tiktok or YT.
@VectorStyler I think your point about the nodes was also correct, because here is the difference between the working and not working rectangle (as an envelope).Seems like the second one got converted to a curve or something.

I've thought about it before, but so far I couldn't decide to do it.
Because it is quite a lot of work.

Here is a longer envelope with nested shapes - clip.
In the very last step (at 1.11), it looks like the envelope is not edited anymore, only the group clipping shape. In the shape effects panel, the second button should be active, not the third.
I added the center point editing to the new features backlog, and if all goes well, it could make it into version 1.2 (sometimes this autumn).

@Subpath Yeas it can be a lot of work, byt on Tiktok people manage to share less than 1 minute long tutorials, you should check that out.
@VectorStyler That 1.11 is just one of many tries I had. 2023 autumn gonna be extraordinary.
There is still one problem, here is a simple Envelope nicely working, yet those distortion are bit too much. Can that be fixed?
I can allow distortions to a certain level, but would like to know if there is anything I can do to improve it.

1.2 is planned for 2022 autumn (no exact date).

Not sure exactly which part is too distorted, are these the red stripes? Some distortion options like Smoothness and Subdivision (seen in the screenshot sent earlier in this thread) can be used to control huw much distortion occurs.

... yet those distortion are bit too much ...
to set more Nodes (select one Node and press + Key)
or try a different curve Typ (Quadratic / Cubic)
could also be helpful

@VectorStyler Sorry, I was dead tired, 2022;)
Yes, stripes and that blue part of the flag got some offset from the stripes. Additional options didn't fix that. Well I can live with that and fix things by hand. That's my first use of this effect, so gonna test it more later with some production ready design.
@Subpath Tried that, your earlier vids explained everything, tx.
-
@plrang @plrang One thing to do is to add nodes to the stripes, where the blue part ends, so that they can be distorted in similar way.
-
@VectorStyler OK, gonna keep that in mind, thanks.
