Welcome to Compound Baths in this tutorial, I will explain to you how the compound bath works and how
it compares with the ShareBuilder tool, and then we are going to create this funny face here, maybe
a bit better.
Then we're going to create this awesome shape here that is done very easily using the compound bath.
So let's start.
So I'm going to draw, for example, a rectangle over here and then draw another circle just over here
and change the color to anything you like.
I'm going to come over.
And that was the section to click and duplicate over here.
But another one, if you like.
So I'm going to select them all.
Now, the concept of the compact path is going to remove the top object from the bottom once.
OK, so you have the three circles and the bottom object is the rectangle.
So it's going to remove the circles from the rectangle.
Let's go see if it's true.
Become to compound path and say make.
And here you are.
You punch some holes inside the rectangle.
Now, not just that, the rectangle.
Even in my here I can see only compound shape.
I can actually go inside this slightly group and do some changes, which is awesome, which is very
nice.
So here you are.
This is the concept of the compound path, so I'm going to delete this and do something nice.
OK, I'm going to take a rounded rectangle and draw something just like this.
Then take two squares or ellipses.
Sorry, do one over here.
OK, give it the different colors.
I'm going to come to property and give it a color.
For example, this guy.
Then I'm going to control C and control F, so I have another one on top shift and option or art on
the PKM, make it smaller and the inner one, I'm going to make it a black cool.
Now I'm going to select these two without the big one and just duplicate them and click plus option
and just move them over here with the shift.
Fine, that's very ugly.
Now let's do another circle.
So I'm going to do a full circle just over here.
Click and drag shift and option or something like this.
Go directly for the white to pick the top one from the circle, this top anchor and take it down.
And you have a very funny smiley.
Then I'm going to go for the rounded rectangle, rounded rectangle and just do the north.
My purpose here is to have everything that is right, let's make them auret like this.
Cut out from the rectangles are just describe it.
So I want all the right shapes to be cut out from the rectangle itself, so I'm going to select all
of them except these two black ones.
So I'm going to select these black ones and simply go to object.
And I go to compound path and make.
And here you are.
You've done it, guys.
You know, it's still available to you, so you can adjust it after even cutting.
DoubleClick outside to exit the group itself.
I'm going to select all this, give it more sense, come to effect and come to stylize and add a drop
shadow, something like this.
You can play with drop shadow here, but it's looking cool with us.
Let's put this guy aside, I'm going to select everything and just put it aside.
This is something more interesting that we couldn't have done with the ShareBuilder tool, so I'm going
to select Estar and click here.
I want the six point star.
That's my star.
Then I'm going to duplicate the star to control C, control F on top and rotate of 30 degrees, not
notice.
It's a perfect rotation.
They come quite symmetric.
Select both of them.
Now I could use the shape tool, for example, build a tool to remove certain things if I know what
I'm doing is going to be complicated.
But with the.
Component path, you are going to remove everything that is on top from the bottom and here you are
and now we have a very nice ship.
Notice how it has done it.
It has removed whatever is on top from the bottom, but has left where there is nothing.
So this one didn't have a bottom.
It has left it there.
Very nice and very intelligent.
Let's give it some nice color here.
The first one, I'm going to give it this color.
And then, of course, I said the first one, there will be another one controversy or if I wrote it
is only 10 degrees.
OK, so it shifts.
Now, the second one, I'm going to give it this color just over here and control C, control F, rotated
another 10 degrees and give it another color, which is this one will do.
OK, nice.
Good.
The selected all four in the middle.
Now we have some awesome shapes, something geometric, something beautiful that's going out to effects
and add a drop shadow.
As simple as this, this drop shadow is fine.
We can add the blur if you want to or take down the blur depending on what you want.
You can offset the X and Y, you can increase the opacity if you like.
And here you are.
You have created a very awesome shape.
So this is how to use the compound bath.
