Illustrator CS6 blend mode spacing

Sep 14, 2012 2:35 AM

Tags: #illustrator #spacing #cs6 #blend_mode

I am trying to create a train track that vanishes into the horizon.

 

I created the first parralell piece and a tiny one on the horizon and used blend to fill in the gaps.

 

However as you can see from the pic below (where I have included images of the single pieces used to blend) the spacing is entirely the wrong way round. I do not want to evenly space the objects as this will not give the desired perspective effect. Is there any way to simply reverse this spacing?

 

I think I've tried everything, but to no avail.

 

Please help!

    Well I can't seem to find a way short of adding smooth points and trying to get spacing correct. But that's a lesson in frustration.

     

    A better method may be to draw the first tie, then use Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform and create the copies that way.
