I actually learned a lot! Thanks! I’ve just recently discovered the shape builder tool and have experimented a little with it but I didn’t know about all these options or even using the tool to delete! Very cool!
Omg thank u so much... I'm taking college courses online (mainly to get a certificate). Anyway, I was having so much trouble figuring this out. U make it so much easier than this class does!
This is a good reminder to check those hidden settings on each tool. Specifically for the Shape Builder tool, it's nice to get a run down of all the settings and what they do. It's an such a great tool that wasn't taught to me in my design program (for some lame reason) but I ended up discovering it through my own use. Surprised at how little I see it used in practice. Anyways, thanks for the video!
Wow - the Template Monster course looks amazing. I like the fact that a mentor decides when you proceed to the next level. You're going to think I'm a bit crazy but last night I was thinking of something along the lines of this course except nothing as elaborate as they have constructed. I taught the business of freelance at the college level and it was the most rewarding thing I did at the time. If I was 20 years younger I would jump on this. Everything I learned was through the very painful School of Hard Knocks!
I want also my shape builder tool to havr free form and not straight line setting, but mine doesnt have option, is there anu other way to select free form?
my shape builder tool is not working. please help me...i don't know why.. its not working, but when i select the tool it shows me the arrow with a no symbol circle... is that mean i can't use this tool in my pc?
@@SatoriGraphics once in a while could you do a hands on logo project and talk more about some advanced effects regarding logo design? I know logo design is your expertise, so it would be nice if once in a while you could do more of a hands on tutorial. I really enjoy your current videos, but feel they have brought me to a point where I have already learned the topics covered.
@@SatoriGraphics That's the thing.. CPU at 1%, not even a GB ram out of 16 used... GPU also at around 1%... AI lags and crashes.. It's weird. Works perfectly fine with normal paths, kills my comuter when I use composit paths. Or maybe using 3 overlapping circular grids just was a bit too much for it.. I don't know :-)
Watching the video I began to think...isn't this pretty much like using the pathfinder? I use pathfinder all the time when creating more "custom" type shapes.
tbh, this is mostly directed towards 3D artists, photographers and people who do need incredibly accurate colour and outstanding performance, if not both.
@@ItsXDaniC you shouldlook at what render engines studios such as BUCK Design use, it's usually Octane or Arnold, rarely options that rely on Nvidia graphics such as Redshift. People in 3D design want speed, not stereotypes. If AMD offers an option that's much faster than a double titan v and most 3D software is available for mac (probably with the exception of Rhino 6), it still is just a matter of taste. Not names. The product was made to get some 3d professionals over to the mac side, not to show that 3d people use macs lol
I hate this new thing where people "casually" throw ads into their videos like it has anything to do with the video. It's lame and isn't effective. Every time I see a video with an ad halfway through it, I write down that company name and NEVER buy any services from them, even if it means paying a little more.
Satori Graphics I'm not angry at you for doing it. I'm angry that it's becoming a trend. I paid for TH-cam to get rid of the ads and creators, like yourself, just add them into their videos now, so I can't get away from them. And, I don't watch television. TH-cam has more interesting things to watch and I don't have ads except the random videos like yours. So, yea, actually, I AM angry. I paid for a service and you found a way around it anyway.
Satori Graphics Maybe try a Patreon, like other creators, instead of an ad to try and get us to buy something. I'd much rather support you or other creators directly than give money to a company that cares nothing about the creator or their content other than it makes them money. And, a trend is defined as "a general direction in which something is developing or changing", which is exactly what putting ads into videos has become with creators. So yea, it's a trend.
Satori Graphics No one says your ads are an issue because they're able to ignore them, but when they're in every video you watch by every creator on TH-cam after you paid money to knock out the ads on TH-cam, that's when I get angry. Thanks for the content from before the ads. You helped me figure a lot of things out. But, it's annoying as fuck to get rid of something and people find a loophole to get around it. Maybe go back to being a graphic designer if TH-cam doesn't pay your bills. It was never meant to be a job.
Satori Graphics I'm not blocking ads. I said it at least twice that I pay for the ads to go away. The money I pay TH-cam to cut out the ads is part of what goes towards paying creators like yourself. I shouldn't then have to skip ads IN a video put there by the creator. Like I said, no one complains cause they're (mostly) not paying for TH-cam Red and STILL seeing an ad anyways. Again, not angry at you, just this stupid trend. Every channel seems to be doing it at just a couple thousand subscribers now cause everyone wants to be an internet star making TH-cam or Twitch money. Guess worldwide exposure isn't good enough.

I gotta remember to double click these tools more often cuz these hidden settings they come w/ could really help out, thx for the tip 😁
Thanks Tom nicely explained
Glad it was helpful!
👍👍👍Many thanks

This is one awesome tool Thomas. Thanks! Couldn't see the link to the Monster Template link though.

Shape builder tool is heart of Illustrator
It is awesome
@@SatoriGraphics thank you sir 🥰
My shape builder tool cursor draws a straight line...how to solve it?
Same problem here

@@lagopusvulpes11 there's another shape buulder tool which work's
@@kouhaigamer3612 Where is it?
@@lagopusvulpes11 in the tools bar look closely it looks a bit like cloud
You are true , rarely do I use this tool's hidden options
Amazing
I want also my shape builder tool to havr free form and not straight line setting, but mine doesnt have option, is there anu other way to select free form?
Shifting while in straight path mode gives you a marquis selection tool, which I find usefully when working with patterns.
my shape builder tool is not working. please help me...i don't know why.. its not working, but when i select the tool it shows me the arrow with a no symbol circle... is that mean i can't use this tool in my pc?
🔥🔥🔥
To be honest tom satori do you mind doing some more advanced tutorials etc?

Compound Paths + Shape-Builder-Tool is a nice Combo. At least if you want to crash AI... :-D

Bro Please make a video on Freelancer.com
I mean a tutorial to know how to use it and some other tips to work on it
@@SatoriGraphics Can i use it to earn online as a graphic designer?
i never used the shape buidler... im always using pathfinder
Watching the video I began to think...isn't this pretty much like using the pathfinder? I use pathfinder all the time when creating more "custom" type shapes.
Very good -thanks for looking under the hood...... but illustrator is so buggy lately ...I struggle and don’t trust it anymore
Where is the video about ebook?)
Shape "butter" tool
I just like to hear how he speaks. Ofcourse his teaching is good too.
You know what else 99% of designers don't use? The new Mac Pro,cuz they can't afford the Monitor.
Don't bother buying that cheese grater monitor

@@nuloom 3D artists use Windows, you can't even choose Nvidia in Mac lol...
