Adding 3D effects to objects | 373
You can fit objects along part or all of a path’s shape, and you can add one or more objects to a blend to create a compound blend.
The straight-line blend (top) is fitted to a curved path (bottom).
You can change the appearance of a blend by adjusting the number and spacing of its intermediate objects, the blend’s color progression,
the nodes the blends map to, the blend’s path, and the start and end objects. You can fuse the components of a split or compound blend to
create a single object.
This compound blend consists of three blends.
You can also split and remove a blend.
By mapping nodes, you can control the appearance of a blend. Two nodes on the polygon
are mapped to two nodes of a star shape, showing a more gradual transition (bottom).
