IKB Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Yeah, I know this subject has been addressed a few times... I just did a search. First, let me say, I've been using AD for a few months now and I think it;s a great piece of software. I come from the Sign industry, and have been using Corel, Illustrator, CAD, and SignLab for over 20 years. I have both a like and dislike for all of them. Every time you think you're going to be set for a bit, your OS updates and you have to shell out thousands for updated software. While AD and AP lack a couple of features here and there, I've found work-arounds, For example, layer warps with blends and transparencies can create some nice mesh gradients. One feature that I find super important is true vector brushes that can be expanded. I have been using expanded strokes to create backfills, 3d effects, tons of text effects for many years. Expanding strokes, breaking them apart, welding them all save countless hours of hand drawing vectors. The work I do is primarily commercial, such as logos and lettering, so I'm not sure how important this feature would be to the artistic community, but thought I would drop my 2cents. (I'm embarrassed to say that I've bought way more brush packs than I should have before figuring this out.) Other than that, keep up the work, this is a great tool you all are putting together. vincentlepes, _Th, mackleys and 3 others 6 Quote
