blend-mode multiply vector shapes

Posted by Jim Red on Feb 10, 2009

Hello

Is there a way to set the blend-mode of a vector shape rather than on an image?

If I try with coreimage, the shapes are rendered as an image.

Am I doing something wrong?

Blend modes only work with the Core Image library (i.e. they require pixels to blend, and normally in NodeBox you work with vectors). So once you start working with blends, everything has to pass through the Core Image pipeline and you end up with pixel images.

I know you can do this stuff in Illustrator but we don't currently have blend modes for vectors.

Best,
Tom
