problem with gradient on Outline with overlapping edges

[juliush84370597]

Hi, I have a strange problem.
My Outline has has a gradient and for the most parts, it works fine.
Execept in some very pointi edges, there the gradient overlaps itsself... as shown in the image.
Is there a workaround?

So that gradient runs from black to white? You could try and have it run from white 0% opacity to 100% opacity. Does that work better?

[juliush84370597]

unofortunately it is already going from white to 0 opacity...
I made a better screenshot including the settings...

here is another example.

Additional Information :
This Black Artifact only appears when the outline is stronger than 11px ...

[juliush84370597]

correction....
it also appears with an outline of 11px ... however, at other positions.

OK, I see. Thank you.

It's a knockout group by design, so the black in those corners is the background shining through. You can only cut it open. Or you could check out pattern brushes.

Ok, Patternbrushes seems to be a step into the right direction...
however, these white lines apear now between the segments...

That could be an antialiasing issue. Does that look better in CPU preview?

[juliush84370597]

unfortunately not...
I changed the preview to cpu unter view->cpu preview
and it remained the same...

You could check the base objects and correct any slight irregularities in the alignment. But that's it then.
