Hello guys,
I am need a hand on how get spray tool inside an specific shape. As you can see in the picture, I am interested to represent levels of disease in that root, but it would be painfully hard placing one by one. With the spray tool I can randomly distribute them. The only problem is focusing on the plant shape.
Anyone knows how can I solve that?
thank you
Spraying within specific shape
Re: Spraying within specific shape
Did you forget the picture?
I think there might be a way to do this. I've never tried it myself. But I notice on the Spray tool control bar, there are a couple of buttons which allow you to spray only on transparent areas or only on not transparent areas. (The 2 eye icons.)
So you could temporarily fill the shape with a solid color, and set to spray on not transparent areas. Or vice versa, which would take a little more work.
Edit
And there are a few other ways to approach it. For example, make the sprayed shapes into a pattern, and fill with the new pattern.

Re: Spraying within specific shape
Making the sprayed shape into a pattern is probably the best way to do this.
