I never knew how to blur vectors... when i do, it gets blurry, and doesn't look like the shapes are kind of blended together. And that's why i need help. Can somebody help me please? Thanks!

Don't...gaussian blur. It...how do I say it, it kinda makes the edges of the vector blur into the background, you know what I mean?
I'm not familiar with Illustrator, but try to find something like Edge Preserve Smooth on PSP, or Smart Blur, Median, Dust and Scratches, on Photoshop. But anyway...you shouldn't blur. A truly good vector requires no blurring to look realistic. You don't have to gaussian blur ALL the shapes...if you flatten the image, then you only have to blur once... |
