[dognamedblue]

hey all

first post on the site
followed the link in the layers magazine ;)

totally new to illustrator and cs2 and things adobe in general

wanted to know if there were any sites out there that had free templates to use?
speciffically a template for a wine bottle
gonna try making my own, but it took me since yesterday to make a plate!

love the magazine by the way, tried a couple of the tuts already

anyways thanks in advance (and to Jef for getting my magazines sent out so quickly)

I don't know if there is a template for a bottle but you can find templates at :
http://studio.adobe.com/

I just took a look at Illustrator templates and I found a wine bottle at :

Good one GuyB. The Adobe studio site has a lot of cool downloads, most of them free. It's a great place to poke around…

peace

Hi

thanks GuyB
I did try a search at adobe.co.uk but it didnt come up with the studio. or share.studio you've linked! :(

will check em out

I did do a photo of a bottle of wine I had and used that and live paint to make my own!
not the best but not bad for a first effort.

again, thanks for the links
dnb.


edit: that wine bottle at the exchange does look very good! ;(

Using the pen tool draw a profile of half of a bottle. Give the profile a stroke of 2 or three points no fill, you choose the color. Now select your profile and choose Object, path-outline path. Select your outlined path and go to Effects, 3D-revolve. In the menu that appears choose Right, leave offset to 0. This assumes that the bottom of your profile ends to the right and is half the diameter of the bottle. Now choose okay. How does it look. You can play with the lights colors, Map art to your shape. To change anything select your 3D bottle and in the appearance menu double click on the line that reads 3D rotate. If you do this the 3D rotate menu will reappear and you can change things. Read up in HELP on 3D.

cheers scottie!

will have a go 'cos the bottle you've done looks pretty cool too!
(although I think I better stick with the wine for the contents, the tutor doesnt have a sense of humour ;) )

been playing around with warping text and meshes today... a really cool program illustrator cs2

good fun!

Do a search on the word "bottle" in this forum
This was done by Adobe Ace...and he has a tutorial on how to do it. Should get you an A+

edit: before I returned to the site to check for replies, here's what I had got to:
obviously it's nothing spectacular, but I was happy enough for a first attempt :)
but will return with a much better version, and again thanks for the help.
