How to apply multiple gradient on same shape

[S_ A]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way I can apply two or more gradients on the same shape in Illustrator.

I used appearance, two fills, two gradients but one overlaps another. I want them both (Gradients) in two different palces but on same shape.

Anyway I can do that?

Thank you,.

I am not sure if I understand what you want, but you can select the gradient item in the Appearance panel and change the start/end point, direction and blend mode/opacity.

You can set some colors in the gradient to 0%. Which then will create some nice overlapping effects.

Hello,

Certainly! In Adobe Illustrator, to apply multiple gradients to a single shape without one overlapping the other, you can use Opacity Stops and Gradient Mesh.

1. Opacity Stops: You can adjust the opacity stops within your gradient to allow the underneath gradient to be visible at certain points, essentially creating a blending effect between the two gradients.
2. Gradient Mesh: This tool allows you to create complex multi-colored gradients with more control over the placement and blending of colors, allowing you to have different gradients in different areas of the same shape.
