To get the realistic surface, we need to achieve a sense of depth. To compare the changes refer to the close-up views.Ĩ. To change the stacking order within brown “Fill” attribute, drag the Roughen effect up and when you are satisfied, release the mouse button. To get the result we want to accomplish, we must place it on top of that fill. The Roughen effect we have just applied will be automatically added beneath the Offset Path effect. Let’s make some modifications on the brown “Fill”. Using this effect, we want to create those rust spots we can find on the eroded metal surface.ħ. Select Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen… and set the values you can see on the image below. We’ll make some drastic changes to this fill now.
