Something like the astute offering would be amazing - I use vector halftones on the majority of my T-shirt designs, but currently have to do quite a lot of twatting around to achieve it, although, Image Vectorizer is really great for this - if astute engineered phantasm to work with designer it would be a must have purchase - but having all that kind of stuff just built in to designer would be incredible

Altsys/Aldus/Macromedia FreeHand was Illustrator's nemesis since the beginning of the so-called "desktop publishing revolution." One of many things it provided which Illustrator never has is object-level halftone settings.

This straightforward, unobtrusive feature allowed you to apply actual PostScript-supported halftone shapes (diamonds, ellipses, lines, etc.) at any ruling (LPI) and angle at the individual object level.

And these were real halftones, meaning this: If you pick up your loupe and look at a real halftone, you'll find that it's not a simple matter of making a grid of dots vary in size. In a real halftone, the dots also vary in shape as they scale toward and across the 50% tones. The round dots become gradually more "square-ish" and begin to smoothly merge at the corners as they aproach 50% (like the so-called "metaballs" effects you often see people trying to emulate nowadays). Past 50%, they stop being dots and become "holes." They therefore don't become "star-shaped" voids between overlapping dots with spikey corners and concave sides.

The first attached image is one sample result from an AI Javascript I hacked together shortly after that program acquired its scripting features. I call it my "Faux Halftone" script, for the reason explained above; like all third-party effects plug-ins I've seen, the "dots" just scale, they don't reshape and merge as real halftone shapes do.

The vector-based appeal of the faux halftone effect, of course, is that anything (from single simple paths, to whole drawings) can be used as the "dots." To demonstrate that in the attachment, I used something suggestive of an atom and something suggestive of a planetary orbit on the same image.

What I want to see in my primary vector drawing program is not a grab-bag of pre-built effects. The main point of all the above is, a serious drawing program needs to provide the robust functional underpinnings that facilitate data-driven creativity. That leads to far more originality potential than just an increasingly cluttered pile of standalone, turn-key, one-trick-pony, instant-gratification effects.

If you want to do more complex vector halftones you could also take a look at our software Vectoraster. It's designed to work as a companion with copy&paste support into for example Affinity Designer or whatever vector illustration suite you use.

I may not be completely unbiased in this, but as indicated by the previous posters above I think it will be very difficult to get the same level of customization and performance with such a specific vector generation effect built into a more general design platform like Affinity Designer (or Illustrator).

I'm still figuring out my way with VS and the halftone options it offers. My main issue is that using the rasterize/halftone option with gradients inside VS is fun, (I love the endless possibilities for gradients and control over the halftone results in real time) my issue is that I still need to rasterize and then many times convert that rasterized halftone back into a vector - when I do this, the results are usually less than desired. Some of that makes sense because the vector trace was a little rough without the anti-aliasing on.

What I like about vectoraster is the output is 100% vector and clean.

@Subpath What method are you using to create this? Are they actual halftones or just display as such within VS? I assume I could print it as halftones natively within VS. If I need it to be pure vector halftones that could be opened and used in another vector app, I would still need to convert them to vector

@Subpath Ok - thanks for explaining the steps. I initially was not sure when you mentioned being able to control the halftone grid, if this was something inside VS or you were elaborating on the Halftone generator from Adobe. I get it now.

I've been creating them in black and white in CS6, then converting to vector via image trace since that's the only way to make them a perfect circular vector that I've found, but how do you convert it to a color afterward? It won't let me simply change the fill color, nor will it let me select the black dots with the white arrow. I had also selected "ignore white" while image tracing so it had a transparent background. Help! I'd really like an orange halftone vector, and when I make it a color from the start it creates it out of multiple colors. I want it to be a solid color without any circles overlapping. Thanks in advance!

Maybe this solution will work for you. I created a halftone pattern on an object with a white to black gradient using the Effects>Pixelate>Color Halftone option. I copied that halftone to the clipboard,replaced the fill of the object with a spot orange color, and added an opacity mask in the transparency panel. Selecting the mask, I pasted the clipboard contents (paste in place) into the opacity mask and checked the invert mask option.

Thank you for your response, Michael, however I'm having a tough time following what you did. I created the halftone in black and white, copied it, then as soon as I go to change the color to orange it creates it out of multiple colors again? Did you trace the black and white halftone first?

I'm still relatively new to Illustrator, so any insight you can offer is GREATLY appreciated! I feel like it's so simple, I just can't get it to look like yours! Why is it that you can't just change the color of it after it's traced as black and white, like any other vector??

As for the transparency mask, notice that there are 2 square icons in the transparency panel. The first shows your art. the second, black one is the transparency mask. just click on that icon and Illustrator knows you want to work with the mask. Paste in your clipboard contents (the halftone pattern you made earlier) by using "paste in place" and your object will pick up the halftone appearance but still be that spot orange. Invert the mask if needed.

Thank you SO MUCH Michael!! I did a little more research on transparency masks, and it makes much more sense now. I actually acheived it a slightly different way than you did, which maybe it's more trouble this way but it works, so I'm happy!! I just made a solid orange circle, copied and pasted it, then made a black and white one and converted that to halftones, image traced the black and white one, laid them on top of each other, then created a transparency mask and inverted it so the orange showed as the black.

Is that CS6? If so, did you mean image trace? Because I have a really tough time getting it to trace the circles perfectly in shapes other than an ellipse, like your swirl there. What settings did you use for that? Also, one of my main things was trying to change its color once it's a vector.

What image trace setting did you use for this though, Mike? (spiral halftone). Even the high fidelity photo option doesn't usually leave you with perfect cirlces? Especially on a sprial? Which, by the way, did you just use a large stroke for and convert to color halftone?

I copied that halftone to the clipboard, replaced the fill of the object with a spot orange color, and added an opacity mask in the transparency panel. Selecting the mask, I pasted the clipboard contents (paste in place) into the opacity mask and checked the invert mask option.

So now the transparency mask that is making the dot shapes is a raster image. You're not going to end up with vector path dots doing what you've described. Zoom in and you'll see that the 'halftone' dots are still raster-based.

I wrote "It's a little convoluted but it works!" which you criticize as pointlessly convoluted and failing to deliver vectors. It does deliver a vector solution, my process does not include rasterizing the art at all, at least not until final output. In addition to the criticism, you offer no solutions.

I wrote " I created a halftone pattern on an object with a white to black gradient..." which you attacked as incorrect, saying I started with a gradient filled path. No. That was Mike Gondek who used a gradient filled spiral path. I started with an ellipse, filled with a gradient, as I stated. Again, not sure why the need to blast away here, but you did, incorrectly.

I used the halftone to create a transparency mask. You insist that it is now a raster image. No, it's not. It's still a vector with a live effect and can be continually edited and modified. And when I raise the raster effects resolution to 1200 or 2400 I see pretty nice edges, on perfectly round halftone dots, in a spot color, which is, I think, what the OP was looking for.

Nice variety of usable brushes in every pack. Black Magic Halftones is more of the same. Great vintage halftone look without the hassle of having to create the brushes myself. Appreciate the excellent shopping experience as well. Thanks!

Now that you know how to make a vector halftone in Illustrator, you can follow the same steps using different shapes, gradient types, and Color Halftone values to create your own halftones for your projects. If you later want to change the halftone color, simply select the artboard elements and pick any color from the Swatches panel. 0852c4b9a8
