Hello~
I have been trying to master the mesh fill and I'm making progress.
My last question (on the forum) was how to blend a vector object, with drop shadows for shading, into a mesh fill. I didn't get any answers on that one. So I'll try again with a different angle on the question.
If you're making a complex mesh, for example a human face, how do you keep from destroying (e.g. the nose) as you work with the est of the facial shading?
I have used Ariel and Vlads tutorials, however, I'm stuck on how to bend everything together. I attached an example. The eye is all vector, lips are mes, and the face, including the nose are mesh. The face and nose are one mesh object.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Creating all the face in only one mesh is very difficiul, because each node you add more complex will be the entire object. I suggest you to use a separate objects for node, ears, etc, and about how to blend to the node with the face a good solution is to use selecive transparency on the edge of the shape
Ariel,
That's what I thought. When working on the nose, every time I move a node it effects the entire mesh. I was hoping there was a way to anchor around the nose to avoid this from happening.
Also, are you saying I can add transparent edges to a drop shadow? If so, how do I accomplish this? If you would tell me how~I'll be good to go
Thanks for your help, Ariel.
no, the trasparency is applied to the selected nodes of the Mesh Fill.
You don't need to add a drop shadow, just cerate a darker zone on the mesh
i attached a fast sample

Did you know of the transparent drop down menu where you can chooseAll , Fill .Outline,
I mean the selective transparency on some nodes of the mesh fill, not the transparency too
