1. Bevel tool for Embossed Shapes and Text - Fully interactive

   A tool to create a nice 3D-looking edge to an object, making it look raised from the page.

   It can raise the object visually, by using the colour of the object and creating light and dark sides to it.

   It would be great to be able to change the light direction, light height as well as other parameters such as the type of bevel - round, chiselled, etc. to give your object a physical appearance.

   To create the tool with teh possibility to drag handles directly on the object to adjust depth, contrast, and light elevation in real-time.

   This would be so amazing. And other vector drawing tools do have this.

4. Support background blur in SVGs exported from Figma

   <svg width="367" height="255" viewBox="0 0 367 255" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
   <rect x="150.75" y="18.5726" width="216" height="216.897" fill="#7580FF"/>
   <foreignObject x="-51.0876" y="-51.0876" width="356.218" height="356.218"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="backdrop-filter:blur(25.54px);clip-path:url(#bgblur_0_1_16_clip_path);height:100%;width:100%"></div></foreignObject><circle data-figma-bg-blur-radius="51.0876" cx="127.021" cy="127.021" r="127.021" fill="#FF7575" fill-opacity="0.7"/>
   <defs>
   <clipPath id="bgblur_0_1_16_clip_path" transform="translate(51.0876 51.0876)"><circle cx="127.021" cy="127.021" r="127.021"/>
   </clipPath></defs>
   </svg>
   

   (I'm sympathetic that general <foreignObject> support is nigh impossible 🙂 Figma uses this only for background blurs and angular gradients)

5. Zig Zag effect Ridges per Path option

   Illustrator allows us to set ridges per segment when applying a live Zig Zag effect.
   Cool, we can use it creatively... sometimes... in very rare occasions...

   But most of times we need the frequency to be uniform for the whole path, like Roughen does.
   We can’t use a brush to do it really, and we can’t make Ai to re-divide a path into segments of equal length (a cool request on its own, but it won’t solve the problem anyway... but I ahve to mention the PathScribe plugin allows this).

   There is this cool Random Zig Zag script that that does this and more as a filter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHEAk6s9NcE — definitely worth buying), but it’d be great to just have it from the box as an option for the effect.

6. Shadow and other Stylize effect dialog boxes - Modernize!

   Can you please make the Stylize (under effects) dialog boxes actually useful?
   The up and down arrow .125 inch default is just useless, far too big of steps to allow any real control. Unless (maybe) you're putting a shadow under a giant object.
   X & Y movement rather than direction… the whole thing is clunky and hasn't changed in a decade or more.
   Try putting a drop shadow on any reasonable font size (for example), I find myself making changes in weird amounts (oh, .06 is too much, I'll change it to .052 and see if that works).
   It's just painful to work with.
   How about a slider?
   Or, if you want to see a useful drop shadow interface, Photoshop has one! Use that. Perfectly functional.
   Please, please make this a useful interface, I've been waiting for this since version 5.5. That's too long.

7. Give as a choice when pasting something that uses an existing definition in the current document

   When pasting art with different definitions for an existing style name, users should be given a choice to apply the document style to the pasted text, redefine the document style based on the pasted text, or just ignore it (as it does now).

   It applies to text styles and graphic styles.
   Today, example given, if I paste an artwork that uses 'My Style' from document A into document B that already has 'My Style' defined, Ai would just make it into 'My Style 2', silently.

   Thanks to Rick Johnson for raising this up.

8. Add a way to set a custom resolution for Raster Effects when creating a document

   Why can’t I set 'other' value for resolution while creating a new document using classic UI, but can do later using the dedicated dialog? Not fair (plus Ai doesn’t know about PPCM and fractional values)

   Another related request:
   Fractional resolution value in Document Raster Effects Settings

9. Edge Effects on Line Segment instead of Full Shape Border

   It would be nice to be able to create a shape that has different edges between different points. At the moment, the closest that you can get with this is the width tool or by deleting a segment (which causes a host of issues, since it would no longer be a shape).

   More broadly, by isolating line segments as editable aspects of a shape, it would be great to be able to apply edge effects (feathering, roughen, blur, etc.) only to a select number of segments on a shape.

   This would give finer control over shapes in Adobe Illustrator and make it possible to create more dynamic, detailed illustrations.

10. Add a Delayed Render toggle and Render button to reduce re-renders

    Performance suggestion: as a panel, every adjustment causes the object to re-render, so fine-tuning the settings takes a long time. Maybe put a Render button on bottom with an on/off toggle switch labeled something like Delayed Render. Kind of like how Excel does it with Pivot Table updates.

12. Add Resolution value into the Gaussian Blur effect dialog

    I think it's a really bad UX having to deal with two different dialogs to add a simple blur, the ideal would be add the extra settings to the Gaussian Blur dialog, so you can adjust everything on the fly, both the Radius and Resolution.

14. Allow to specify the bevel parameters for objects extruded with 3D & Materials Extrude & Bevel in absolute units instead of a relative value

    The way that Illustrator adds the bevels is weird.
    Height = 50%. 50% of what? If I'm working in inches and I have a 10" x 10" object that I've extruded 1", I should know that I want the bevel to be 0.125", adding ⅛" to my 1" height. Being able to put in 0.125" as my bevel height would make more sense.
    If I have an object that I want to extrude 1", then it is really important that I know it is 1". However, if I extrude the object and then apply a bevel, Illustrator begins to add thickness to my object. There's no way to know how thick the object has now become. Instead of growing the bevel off of the object, Illustrator should dig into the object. If I have a 10"x10" object that I've extruded 1" and I apply a slight bevel, I'd expect to see the outer edge tapered away slightly, but the object remains 10"x10" and 1" thick. If I add a more aggressive bevel, all the same. The object should remain 10"x10" and 1" thick with a more dramatic tapered edge. This would only be achieved if Illustrator were cutting away the extrusion edge, rather than adding more on top of it.

15. Allow more modeling options for 3D extrusions

    Give us more extrusion options. It's crazy that you can make a cylinder, but no possible way to make cuts through. I have attached examples to where I made the type of structure I'd need in Blender. In AI you can create a cylinder but no way to make holes through the structure. You can do this with an extruded rectangle but not cylindrical objects.

16. Bigger variety of basic finishes for 3D materials: high gloss, matte, shiny metallic, matte, etc.

    Would be great to have better material adjustment tools — the 'metallic' slider doesn't really do very much except make the colour dull, would love to make it super vibrant metallic finish. A lot of the materials in Substance don't allow colour editing or more than one colour so this makes it really limited. Would love to achieve a bigger variety of basic finishes e.g. high gloss, matte, shiny metallic or matte.

    Would also love to have more extrusion options, it's crazy that you can make a cylinder but no possible way to make cuts through. I don't want to have to move to Blender for structures.

18. Better control over position of symbol in mapped classic 3d art

    When placing symbols for image maps in the classic 3D palette, I'd like to have more control over the position of the symbol to be mapped.

    Example: I'm using this function for mockups of labels on bottles. There are a number of bottles, each a different flavor, let's say 4. (The bottles are placed images.) I create a cylinder sized to the bottle image's label area, and map a label symbol to the cylinder for each flavor. The labels need to be in the same place on each cylinder, both size and position. And those 4 bottles with labels are multiplied by 2 or 3, depending on how many concepts there are. So, lots of noodling with the mapped symbols sizes and positions.

    This could take the form of, at the very least, a larger window for placement so you can actually see what you're doing, or fields for x/y and w/h values similar to how they are displayed for transform (but inside the mapping module).

    Another thought about expected behavior: if I copy/paste a mapped cylinder, and then go into the copy and change the mapped symbol to different symbol of another label of the same dimensions, the new symbol would be in the exact same size and position.

    I know you are working on adding mapped graphics to the "new" 3D effect, so maybe this will be added functionality? I know there are others who would appreciate it. When can we expect to try out this functionality in the "new" 3D effect?

    (FYI, I cannot share my company files in public, they're proprietary. But if someone wants to contact me I am happy to send screen shots or share my screen.)

19. True vector blur / feather, similar to one Rive has

    Quite recently Rive introduced Vector Feathering: https://rive.app/blog/introducing-vector-feathering

    Illustrator uses raster-based Feather and Gaussian Blur, and — let’s admit it — we need them better: resolution-independent, infinitely scalable.
    Instead we got just 'faster blur'...

    And while you are here — there are many more blur-realted requests:
    – Motion blur: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32403883
    – Background blur: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36614008
    – Gradient Feather: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31911052
    and more.

    Stop toying with text-to-raster-then-trace toys!

20. A Node View mode for the Appearance panel, and a complete revamp of what it can do

    I feel like I have a lot of things I want changed about the Appearance palette that cannot be done in the form of a one-dimensional list of effects.

    I'd like to suggest something inspired by the "node view" in programs like Blender or Toon Boom or Unreal. Give me a 2d canvas upon which I can arrange strokes, fills, and effects, and let me plug them into each other in complex ways. Let me control exactly when a brush is applied to a stroke by moving its effect around. Let me dynamically generate an opacity mask for an entire object, and another one for three of the seven fills and strokes I have on it. Let me generate complex pieces of plumbing that do crazy things based on me drawing one simple path.

    Keeping the Appearance palette around and adding a new Appearance Nodes palette would be fine. Or it could be a new mode in the existing palette. It's also perfectly fine if the existing Appearance palette can't edit Appearance Nodes and just displays a polite apology. There's a simplicity to the existing palette that might be worth retaining, I dunno, when it gets to the point of being in a beta, ask people how they'd feel about losing the old one, and be aggressive about hunting for ways it might break existing appearance stacks - ask us for our craziest piles of native and plugin effects and build a nice set of test cases!

    I am probably asking a lot here. This is feels like a big enough change to be one of the top features of an entire release. Possibly even more. It'll probably involve changing some assumptions that are made deep in the parts of Illustrator nobody understands any more. And it's entirely for the most hardcore users, who're using it in the most esoteric ways. Good luck convincing the people who control the budget that a significant part of Illustrator's development budget for a year or three should be devoted to something that's got zero noob appeal.

    But after about a decade of exploring its possibilities, I'm constantly butting up against the limitations of the Appearance palette. It's time for something to change. Maybe it's just time for me to figure out how to survive a couple months of zero productivity because I'm figuring out how to turn another, younger program into something I can whip out art even half as fast as I can do it in Illustrator. And probably get animation capabilities and some amount of 3d into the bargain. I dunno. I'm fifty years old and I've loved using this program as my main art tool for half my life. Change is complicated.
