CorelDRAW2020-MESH Tool

I want to create a gradient effect for the footwear sole design 1.as a whole (rf. file and img) or any other method to create a smooth transition. I am facing issues while creating 'uniform nodes'. Can anybody help here.

  • Adding a mesh fill to a complicated object can be a bit tricky, sometimes even impossible.

    Not sure if this is of any help but one thing you can try is to create a rectangular object that covers the sole, and then add the mesh fill to the rectangle instead.
    That way you get a predictable rectangular mesh and it is much easier to add lines and move mesh nodes into position.
    When you are done, PowerClip the rectangle into the sole.

    You can easily adjust the mesh after clipping it into the sole by Alt+clicking on it (to select the clipped rectangle) and then use Mesh Fill tool to fine tune as usual.

  • You know if you apply a mesh fill to a bitmap it was approximate the colours of the bitmap. So if you were to import a bitmap of a sole of a shoe, with nothing selected set your mesh fill to the amount of rows and columns you need then apply it to the bitmap it may well do what you need.
