  Illustrator patterns and animation?

  Posted by Keri Rainock on November 14, 2005 at 9:08 pm

  So I figured out that the reason the poka-dots on my characters skirt would wiggle around in animation- the artist who had created the character in illustrator had used a pattern fill on the skirt.

  Anyone know of ways to effectively trouble-shoot using patterns in AE animation?

  Is the compostion linked to an Illustrator file? Do you have it? If you do, do you have a copy of Illustrator?
  You could open up the file and A) remove the pattern B) Edit the pattern or C) expand the area with the pattern to shapes and remove the problem areas. This all hinges again on if you have the file and have a copy of Illustrator.
  Some creative garbage mates in AE with soild backgrounds to roto to might be an quick and dirty solution.
