Transparency in Pattern (fading away the swatch?)

[thisizR2R]

Just look at the picture:

How to make this pattern fade into another one? It doesn't need to be perfect in this scenario. I just want to learn how to blend 2 different angles of (almost the) same patern like a https://ak8.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/2050628/thumb/1.jpg

This How to Create a Pattern Fade in Illustrator + Photoshop - YouTube is something that would've been usefull. Unfortunatelly i cant use my pattern into gradient.

I'm not 100% sure but are you trying to fade away a shape where it overlaps another shape? If so, you might want to look into Opacity Masks.

In summary, you create a new shape that will become an opacity mask for the shape you wish to fade. This mask contains black where you want to hide the shape, white where you want to see the shape and shades of grey for partial transparency. The opacity mask is applied to the shape using the Transparency panel.

Select the gradient shape (white to black) and change the transparency to "multiply".

this is exact thing what i did. It kinda looks like shadow (good for mimicking the 3d effect).

Transparency mask is the way to go...

Make a copy of the figure you want to fade. Place on top. Make a gradient - black i 100% transparent, white i 0%.
Select both the figure with the pattern, and the gradient figure. Make a transparency mask. Done
