<![CDATA[Blend, artefact when changing gradient shape]]>I was just playing with the blend tool and it was fine until I changed the shape of the gradient. I got then many weird artefacts.!

If they are too large for email, you can send share a dropbox link.

After 10min, the figure is not yet displayed.

I have other files with parts of this figure that VS can open but the rendering is very slow as soon as you move the object or zoom in. I can send you this file too. I would like to be able to make such work in VS.

I've noticed that the same file saved in VS format has a smaller size.

The file is rather big. Since this issue is fixed, I'll wait until I can try to open this file. If VS can't, I'll figure out a way to send it.

But I'm not sure if this new bug is the same as the other one.

What was the issue? can you send be the AI file?

Is the next update going to fix this issue ? Thanks for any feedback. Cheers.

It was late, I was tired, my neurons were disconnected and I did not see "document" in the menu. Why on earth did I go to all the sub-menus...๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Anyway, a fresh computer start & the document rendering is now fine with W11.
The change of profile was therefore superfluous but I did anyway & did not change the rendering (except the colours of course). thanks... looking forwards to the new release ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

[Edit: what is the purpose of Effect --> Adjust Colors --> Color Mode --> RGB ?]

Then, I've changed the performance to OpenCL: still weird rendering --> again to Software, still weird rendering --> repeated twice......... I've closed VS, start again and it was a bit better but the strokes/lines are still "jaggy" (??), please, see below.

The rendering is very nice on my W10 computer. The gpu drivers are up to date on both computers.

The document title tab should display RGB rendering mode.

But then it is hard to say what is going on.

Another thing that might cause this is the DirectX display on W11.

But this is not possible to turn off.

I open a bug on this one.

I might have an intel gpu on the mother board but I don't know whether it is used. How can I know ?
Thanks.

EDIT: Is w11 with the Intel GPU?

The problem occurs when importing the effects from AI.

I did this years ago in Adobe Illustrator :

When I open the file in VS:

I think it is more the "dash" feature that is an issue because I did change this many times for the two strokes and I did get many dashed lines. Every time I did zoom in and out, all the lines/strokes were blurry for seconds before they get sharp.
I did modify the thickness afterwards and VS was not responding until I got the famous app blue circle for minutes and then suddenly I got my start windows screen.
It might be related to VS & my graphic cards (too much calculation for my old graphic card ?) because then when I wanted to use Photoshop, an alert inform me that it could only use the cpu.

I did properly restart the pc and it was fine then (VS not tested). I've sent you the file โ˜บ
Thanks
Patrick

@VectorStyler modifying some features of the blended scheme such as the thickness of the stroke considerably slowed down VS and finally, VS did not respond and crashed the PC.

The gradient artifacts should be solved now.

This slowdown might be caused by something else. If you have a file, where I can change the stroke thickness to replicate this issue, please send it to me.

no problem here
even with a gaussian blur effect

I think this might be a bug.
