Working with blended objects
You can blend two distinct objects to create and distribute shapes evenly between two ob-
jects. The two shapes you blend can be the same or different. You can also blend between
two open paths to create a smooth transition of color between objects, or you can combine
blends of colors and objects to create color transitions in the shape of a particular object.
When you create a blend, the blended objects are treated as one object, called a
Blend ob-
ject
. If you move one of the original objects or edit the anchor points of the original object,
the blend changes accordingly. You can also expand the blend to divide it into distinct ob-
jects.
Creating a blend with specified steps
Next, you'll use the Blend tool (
) to blend two shapes that will eventually make up the
water beneath the ship.
