Are you getting bored with Illustrator? Pen tool giving you a cramp? Still trying to find a use for those warp tools? Let’s face it, you can only do so much with the tool set that Adobe has provided us… But what if there was a way to make your own tools and filters in Illustrator? Well congratulations, your about to find out how.
Scriptographer is a FREE plugin for Adobe Illustrator. It basically makes Illustrator open-source. When you download and install the plugin, you’ll notice some new things in the illustrator interface. There will be two new tools at the bottom of your tools pallet.

You’ve got some new tools to play with.
