Making Tossed Repeats in Illustrator with Space Fill by Astute Graphics (plus a hack!)

[@vincentferrari]

Great plugin and I would have happily purchased it but I think it's absolutely ridiculous to charge people a subscription of $149 a year for a bunch of plugins when I only want (and am willing to pay for) 1.

[@karinaecay9348]

Same thought!

[@LauraCoyle]

I get it! I use so many tools in that subscription that it's worth it to me.

[@vincentferrari]

@@LauraCoyle That's totally fair. I wouldn't even object to a stacked bundle that feels expensive if it was a one-off charge. A subscription for plugins just seems... I dunno.

[@marymirt3485]

Thank you for this. It is a shame that Illustrator does not have these sorts of capabilities built in, rather than having to subscribe for plugins. Just a thought. :)

[@LauraCoyle]

You're welcome, and I totally understand what you are saying! There are parts of Illustrator I hardly use - the perspective grid is just one example ;-). I want Adobe to spend more time on the tools I need (patterns!), but there are so many people using this program for so many different things, I'm sure there's a long list of things to be developed and improved.

[@marymirt3485]

@@LauraCoyle I totally agree. It is still such a wonderful program that I am absolutely obsessed with. Even after 20+ years of using it, there is always something new to learn. Thank you for being one of thr people I learn from.

im goin crazy, where is the space fill plugin? I own astute graphics, but can't find it in the windows...

[@justfluff6436]

It's under ColliderScribe

[@LauraCoyle]

Go to the Window menu, Astute Graphics, Space Fill (check Astute Manager to make sure it's installed).
