Changing the grain of a fractal transparency

You can fill objects with Fractal Cloud transparency or Fractal Plasma transparency to give the transparency a random pattern. Changing the grain lets you make the fractal appear smooth and flowing or grainy.

To change the grain of a fractal transparency

1. Select the transparent object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Transparency Tool.

3. Click away from the transparency handles to ensure none is selected.

4. Drag the slider on the Transparency Tool Infobar. Or for precise control, type into the text box to the right.

Tips

If any of the transparency handles are selected, the slider controls the transparency level at the handle. You must deselect all the handles to change the grain.

Low values give a smooth, flowing pattern. High values give a grainy pattern.
