: Illustrator: how to merge multiple gradients Is it possible to merge multiple gradients into one object? For example: a rectangle with two radial gradients in two corners. How can I implement

You can add multiple gradient fills to an object via the Appearance panel.

If you need more complex gradients you can use the Mesh Tool to create a gradient mesh. Simply click on a point with the Mesh Tool to create a mesh from the object, you can then change the color of each individual point.

A simply rectangle with each corner point set to a different color:



For more complex gradients just keep adding points:



You can expand an existing gradient fill to a gradient mesh by selecting the object, expanding (Object → Expand) and selecting "Gradient Mesh":

One object can have multiple gradients as seen in the image 1 (below).

To add multiple gradients, open your appearances panel and duplicate the fill. Note that the second gradient has to have a blending mode or transparency for this to work.
