Using Mesh Tool - Need Help Asap!!

[sarahlee_6]

I have to edit some work that the mesh tool has been used on. Ive done the editing (object > path >offset path ) but getting the mesh back has been impossible without breaking the object into smaller sections.

This has left me with an inconsistant highlighted areas!!

Also the person previously working on it has managed to create flowing mesh guidelines without having to break up the image into bits. They go crazy when I do them!!

Its a complex shape - the end result should look like a tube that reads "trumpet" (1 line that bends into each letter - if that makes sense?!)

PLEASE HELP! Ive been struggling with this for ages!!

Two things for you to look at to get you started on this:

http://www.revision3.com/pixelperfect A couple episodes ago Bert covered the Mesh tool in his own inimitable way.

Just found this yesterday:http://teom.coningham.net/ai-cs2/removing-a-gradient-mesh

There are a couple Tuts on the web also but I do not have the details - do a search and I think you will find them. The two links above though are solid starts for you I think.
