Brushed Metal Effect in Adobe Illustrator

Pretty cool...Have you all thought about providing a text transcript of your videos down below. Makes it easier for those of us who need to repeat steps over and over cuz we just can't get it right. :-)

I agree. Very cool tutorial. Having transcripts also makes it easier for people who are deaf or hard of hearing appreciate these lovely tips!

Hi,

I am trying over and over again to make the steel effect but for some reason I cannot get the photoshop effect to work in illustrator. Am I doing something wrong? Is this just for CSI 3?

Thank you.

Great Tutorial! It saved me from missing a deadline.

Thanks

PS. I couldn't hear anything. The transcript comment is good idea.

Is anyone else having the problem where it goes into an advertisement just before showing the effects being used and it never brings you back to the tutorial afterwards?

I could not hear anything either?
Checked all my audio settings and they were all working, so don't know what happened?

Really liked this tutorial, thanx!! However I can't get new colors applied to the fill's graphic style like he's doing in the Text example. When I click the swatch it swaps the g.s. (gradient) for the new color. Tried holding down the Alt a/o Ctrl key but still not getting the desired affect.

Hows about a printed version of this tutorial, and a Quicktime version for someone to save, like you use to. My 2-cents

I tried this and all went well until I tried to save it. It would not save because of a file error. I closed illustrator and restarted the computer and repeated my earlier steps successfully but now I can't get the photoshop filter to work- it's ghosted. I'm in RGB mode too. Very confused why it almost worked (except for saving it) and now won't go at all.

You saved me on my final for my illustrator class. Much more interesting than this F'n school man, thanks.
