Blending Threads

[odee]

Hello all, trying to blend threads together so it won't look like they are two seperate pieces. I guess more like a fade affect. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Assuming that you are blending a column... Stop the column before the blend starts. Add a new column object where the first one stopped and make it as long as you want the blend to be. Open the properties and select "Effects". check "Custom Density" and then "Blend". Then OK. It adds a new column object on top of the one you created, but you have to change the color of the new column. Then continue with a new column object. Note that you can play with the maximum and minimum densities and, I sometimes right click on the diagonal line in the box and move that marker down (or up) to vary how fast the density changes.
