Stipplism
Live stipple effect
- Symbol stipple includes scale, color and orientation
- Add stipple effect to vectors and text
- Live stipple effect on gradients
- Quality control to adjust uniformity
StipplismInstantly apply a non-destructive stipple live effect to any new or old artwork including vector and text. Various quality controls to adjust uniformity and precision.
Comprehensive control of individual symbols including scale, color and orientation. Encourages limitless experimentation with symbols to feed your creativity.

A playful twist on a traditional technique – Stipplism allows you to explore dot and shape patterns faster and easier than you could ever imagine.
Seamlessly interacting with Illustrator’s native tools to produce high quality vector artwork.
Take your stipple game up a level. Warning: seriously addictive!
Apply both Stipplism live effects to any selected artwork
Non-destructive fully-compatible Illustrator live effect
Apply to selection / targeted layer / fill / stroke
Interact with all standard and other Astute Graphics live effect additions (eg. Phantasm and InkQuest color/ink adjustments) via standard Appearance Panel
Store and re-apply with single click using standard Graphic Styles
Results are shared at full quality with Illustrator users lacking Stipplism plugin
Quality (1 to 11); determines the uniformity of dot placement – lower value produces organic random results
Density; control the spacing between the dots, relative to dot size
Dot Size with High Density Adjustment option (ensuring darker regions are reproduced faithfully)
Roundness; default perfect round vector dots may realistically distorted to represent real media stipples
Detail; add additional detail to dot profiles to further recreate manual creation
Color and Sample Object; set dots to specified color or each dot samples underlying artwork color
Overprint; set dots to overprint for pre-press purposes (with automatic white overprint protection)
Warning/reset for anticipated slow processing (typically the result of high quality settings, increased density or large stipple area)
Random dot placement controls including reproducible "Seed", store and recall
Quality (1 to 11); determines the uniformity of symbol placement – lower value produces organic random results
Density; control the spacing between the symbols, relative to symbols scale
Select symbol for basis of stipple result based on symbol name
Include Variants; permits multiple symbol use within single Symbol Stipple live effect for limitless possibilities
Overall Scale; resize symbols within Stipple
Vary Scale; allow each symbol to be randomly scaled within user-defined +/- factor range
Overall Rotation; uniform rotation of symbols within Stipple
Vary Rotation; allow each symbol to be randomly rotated within user-defined +/- angle
Rotation Follows Path and Ignore Largest Path; orientate each symbol's angle based on closest vector path found in underlying artwork
Use Registration Point; optionally use origin point defined in each symbol on which to base any scaling and rotation
Colorize and Sample Object; optionally recolor symbol(s) applied with either single color or sampled color based on underlying artwork
Warning/reset for anticipated slow processing (typically the result of high quality settings, increased density or large stipple area)
Handy function to quickly set selection of objects as symbol variants for use in Symbol Stipple live effect
Quickly select/locate objects with live Stipple or Symbol Stipple effect applied
