Stylism technical specifications

AG Splatter Live Effect

• Add pure vector splatters to any path, shape and editable text

• Precisely control droplet sizes, distance from path and more

• Use Curvature Bias control to make realistic splatter emphasis on tighter curves

• Change droplet shape to represent speed and angle of splatter

• Color of splatter can follow artwork including flat colors, gradients and patterns

• Optionally set transparency of each droplet for ultimate liquid or vapor effects

• Works with all native and Astute Graphics live effects

• Can be defined as part of a graphic style

• Easy "detach" to allow for further modifications

• Controlled using accessible panel

AG Architect live effect

• Innovative effect to replicate extended line effects commonly used in architecture sketches

• Numerous controls ensuring creative uses, including;

• Apply to curved, straight, smooth and/or corner shapes

• Only extend with specified angle range

• Position extensions above, below or replacing underlying artwork

• User-defined extension lengths, color and weight

• Randomization of lengths

• Works with all native and Astute Graphics live effects

• Can be defined as part of a graphic style

• Easy "detach" to allow for further modifications

• Controlled using accessible panel

AG Block Shadow Tool

• Interactive tool with live block (long) shadow preview

• Works on all art including text (maintain edit-ability), vectors, groups and targeted layers

• Precise shadow angle and distance control

• Preferences to customize the way you work with the tool

• Works with other native and Astute Graphics live Effects

• Easily apply shadow Effect to other objects with Eyedropper Tool or Graphic Styles

• Specify a level of transparency and blending mode

• Adopt the fill of the object for its color, allowing shadows to have patterns and gradients

• Set to have a fixed vanishing point. By default, multiple live block shadows effects can maintain a common vanishing point to ensure a consistent visual effect

• Add multiple offsets in one Effect

• Uniform, accelerated and random offset distance options

• Set final offset stroke color and weight, fill color and opacity

• Position offset(s) above or below and maintain original object

• True offsets for open paths

• Works on all all paths and live text

• Control all attributes with keypresses (works with AstuteBuddy)

• Expand to become fully editable vector paths

• Works with other native and Astute Graphics live Effects

• Easily apply AG Offset Effect to other objects with Eyedropper Tool or Graphic Styles

• Can now be applied directly to editable text and optionally treat groups as if they were compound shapes. No need for additional steps to "trick" Illustrator!

• Forced to have a stroke or a fill, regardless of whether the base path has one

• Plus other smaller changes led by customer feedback following previous releases
