Illustrator Gradient Mesh

[Exitspeed]

I've been learning this tool over the last month and I'm really starting to get the hang of it. It's a BITCH to learn. It's really finicky.

Anyone else like using this tool?

What do you think of this rendering of the Nissan Urge Concept?

Here's the mesh it's made out of just for shits and giggles.

I'm not familiar with Solid Works. i just looked it up. SW is a 3D program. This isn't actually rendered in 3D. It's 2D done in Illustrator.

ic. solidworks kinda works along the same line.. very cool though i might have to pick this program up and toy with it

And since it's a vector image I can blow it up to billboard size if I wanted to and it would still be hi res.

I'm thinking about offering car renderings down the road for people.

Here's a wine glass I just finished.

Ok so I've been non stop on this tool. I'm learning soooo many of it's little nuances and tricks. The more I use it the easier it's getting and the more it's making sense.

These renderings take more then a dozen hours (spread out over a period of a few days) for me to do at this point. I'd like to do car renderings for people, but because of the time it takes, I would have to charge a fee. I'd also need a very hi res photo to do a really nice quality rendering.
