Illustrator plug-in integrated use of (I)


1. Illsutrator Introduction

Adobe is the world's most famous graphic image software companies. Especially Adobe Photoshop 庐, Adobe Illustrator 庐, Adobe PageMaker 庐, and Adobe Acrobat 庐 software, the four known, has become the field of graphic printing industry standard.


Adobe Illustrator is a publishing, multimedia and online images of the industry standard vector illustration software. Whether you are a production line of printing and publication draft of the designers and professional illustrators, the production of multimedia images of the artist, or Internet pages or online content producers will find not only an artistic product Adobe Illustrator tool. The software is issued for your line offers unparalleled precision and control, design for production of any small to large complex projects.


As a well-known image processing software, Adobe Photoshop's sister software, due to previous long-term non-Adobe official agent of domestic firms, so has not been domestic workers in general graphic design emphasis, replaced by the Core's famous drawing software Corel draw. Should be said that Corel draw is very good vector drawing software, which is known to feature-rich, and therefore very familiar with Window for users who are very appropriate. However, as the printing and publishing industry standards, if used in conjunction with Photoshop and then import each other and can not be avoided, the output of the trouble. The real use in the publishing industry standard vector tools are Illustrator and Freehand (Note: Only a very small number of printing and publishing companies use Mac, Corel draw). Why not pop up very early Illustrator, Illustrator earlier mainly due to appear in the Mac professional graphics software, until the introduction from the 7.0 PC version only by domestic users attention more on its high system requirements and expensive professional week over the equipment so that ordinary users stay aloof, it is generally only Europe and the United States and abroad, a large advertising company in Japan only use the software. However, with the PC, the continuous price cuts, configure continuous upgrade in PC, can now also make these professional-level software.

2. Illustrator development

Earlier, Adobe in 1987, when introduced Illustrator1.1 version. The following year, they launched the platform in the Window 2.0 version. Illustrator truly be said to be started in 1988, Mac version on the launch of Illustrator 88. One year after the upgrade to 3.0 on the Mac version, and in 1991 transplanted to the Unix platform. First appeared in the PC platform version of the 4.0 version in 1992, this version is the first version of the Japanese transplants. In the majority of Apple's machines are used most frequently is the 5.0/5.5 version, because this version uses the Dan Clark of the Anti-alias (antialiasing display) display engine, so the original has been a zigzag vector graphics in the graphic display on a qualitative leap! Also made at the interface major reform, style and very similar to Photoshop, so for the old users Adobe is easy to use, no wonder he soon swept the publishing industry, soon launched a Japanese version! The only pity is that there is no PC version release, the majority of PC users when not in use Photoshop3.0 to see her! Taking advantage of golden opportunity, Adobe company immediately in the Mac and Unix platforms launched a 6.0 version. The Illustrator really being aware of PC users in 1997, Version 7.0, Adobe, taken note of the growing might and prosperity of the PC world, right? Both the Mac and Windows platform launch. As the 7.0 version uses a complete PostScript page description language, make the page text and graphics quality of a leap once again. More with her and Photoshop good interchangeability, won the good reputation. The only regret is 7.0 support for the Chinese poor. In 1998 the company launched a landmark version of the Adobe-Illustrator 8.0, Illustrator makes a very good graphics software, Adobe's powerful by virtue of strength, to completely on double-byte languages such as Chinese and Japanese support, adds a powerful The "grid transition" tools (Corel Draw9.0 have corresponding functions, but very poor results), text editing tools, etc. functions, making it dominate the professional vector graphics software dominance. With a sound momentum of 99 years and launched a Chinese language version finished. The latest 9.0 version is also available, I believe that will give users more to come.

3. About plug-ins

We all know Photoshop plug-in is very large, this is one of the main features of the software one. However, we often overlook Illustrator also has a large number of plug-ins, not known it! Illustrator can not only use Photoshop all the bitmap filter itself with a large number of vector filter. And others have developed many powerful filter, here a few more well known the importance of filters:

l CAD Tools: HotDoor company's main product, that is, Illustrator7.0 launched the same year launched CAD Tools 1.0 for Illustrator version. After installing the plug-in will be the main toolbox on the left 4 more tools button, and add four command panel. Main function of the plug to simulate a well-known software AutoDesk AutoCAD, so can quite easily in Illustrator, accurate annotation professional engineering units and dimensions. The powerful, with the plug-in, can avoid the complicated operation instructions to learn AutoCAD. The latest version of the plug-in 2.0, and supports Illustrator7.0 above.

l Transparency: HotDoor another company's main products. After installing the plug-in will be more of a command panel. The plug-in main function is to create blocks of color true transparency, it is not itself the functions of Illustrator (Note: not the blocks of color mixing). The latest version of the plug-in 1.02, and support Illustrator8.0 later. (The latest Illustrator9.0 own transparent feature.)

l KPT Vector Effects: MetaCreations is the most famous one of Photoshop plug-in developers. Of course, the support for Illustrator is also spare no effort! As Illustrator's most powerful third-party plug-ins-KPT Vector Effects inherited KPT always gorgeous interface and powerful features, give the user 13 powerful plug-in. This tutorial is using the most powerful 3D transformation feature! The latest version of the plug-in 1.5, and supports Illustrator8.0 above.

l other plug-ins: Others include Macromedia's FlashWriter, Sapphire Pack, Intense's Curvius 1.2 and Kimbo 1.5, LiveAction, TextureWorks, Panopticum company Array 1.0,3 D Vector PopArt so plug-in, because of limited space, not 11 described in detail!

When you use these plug-ins Illsutrator and together with the drawings, they would find that Illustrator has become extremely powerful, even Photoshop will be overshadowed!

As the Illustrator interface similar to Photoshop, operation is not complicated, generally no problem with the use of basic, in order to reflect the Illustrator's different from other power of vector software, following the combination of Illustrator8.0c, KPT Vector Effects 1.5, CAD Tools 2, Transparency 1.0 and other plug-ins to create a three-dimensional vector gears.
