Blending multiple mesh objects
- [Presenter] In this movie, we're going to light up the forward section of the car, the area around the grill here. And we're going to do so by blending multiple mesh objects together. I'm going to start things off by switching to my document in progress. You want to make sure your meshes layer is twirled open and then go all the way to the bottom. At which point you'll see this object right here called front and I'm going to target it as well by clicking on this meatball. And you can see that it covers the front of the car. I'll just go ahead and twirl open the clipping group right here and target this guy. The reason that we need this object is because we just can't create any vertical columns, they would end up crossing both the existing rows and the sideways columns which is impossible where gradient mesh is concerned. So we're going to take advantage of this guy instead. So I'm just going to make a copy of this item…
