<![CDATA[WIP - Testing Blending: not yet a tutorial but soon for beginners]]>Work in progress - A nice way to test blending... it is only drawing curves & curves & break apart & blending & blending & blending... so far so good, no crash and works very efficiently 👏

Edit: as you know, by changing the stroke profiles and adding some gradients, one can have different shadow effects

Here some close up with different settings, very easy to change the overall appearance:

great combination.
Would recommend posting a larger image with only two or three letters.
Because one could admire the pattern a little bit more.

Everything is editable and easy to get although VS gets slow probably due to the high number of objects. I started using different strokes with dashes (repeated 3x here with different dashes) and then used the “Repeater” feature to multiply an object/symbol.
Note: I didn't try changing the symbol.

The possibilities are endless; in just a few seconds, various designs can be produced... An alternative to other approaches (e.g. blending)...

I could have obtained this with the Blend feature but I tested the Envelope option to obtain the first shape and then a transformation with clones for the general organisation.There are a lot of curves and therefore (just guessing) a lot of calculations and unfortunately VS lags too much to continue with this type of graphic.

I did apply blur shape effect on two outilles. I need to start differently for this neon effect.

looks not that bad too me
how about a make the reflection Light
on the wall more soft/blurry
(only the letter contour)

I achieved this effect by copy-pasting the text outlines (no fill), applying brushes and transparency to the shapes on a dark background (gradient). It's not too successful but I like the overall effect with the Repeater function on each of the shapes (of course, the text in this case is not editable):

nice,
i like the transparent, glass-like effect in the middle

I'd like to make an axonometric "3D" project and I'm in the process of testing the possibilities of VS. It would be a bit long to explain the steps but in itself nothing very complicated.
The software does slow down a bit but I think that's due to the calculation time for rendering (several artboards, some image and shape effects, blending, different colours to strokes and fills...). Infinite possibilities by changing a single parameter.

Nice,
looks like a title for the great upcoming VectorStyler TV show
I'm looking forward to it 🙂

I have to confess that I got a bit lost in all the testing I did. I was convinced that text remained editable after a Boolean operation like in AD but didn't succeed in VS...

I'll stop here, even though there's still room for improvement, just for the fun to use the Repeater feature with symbols:

I could change any symbol without affecting the arrangement of others... the use of the Repeater feature (VS acronym of course) ☺

and the ideas are still bubbling up
I know it will never stop, like the water geysers
in Yellowstone 🙂

Very easy to get even if not what I wanted, but I found this interesting.
Using the “Repeater” function in two different objects and various renderings by changing the coloured background and transparency of the “containers”, etc.

I can send the file to @VectorStyler if needed.

Anyway, several possibilities. I still have to read your tuto on brushes to start using them ☺

curious, probably some heavy stuff for VS
but it also looks good as a frame 🙂
the second one

I also get some issues with the union boolean:

The shape effects are 'distortions'.
