Neon glow effect in illustrator should be simple, we should be able to do in single click like that we do in canva can we use scripting
// Suppress the warning dialog that appears when running external scripts
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);// Select the first layer
var myLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];// Create a new offset path effect
var myOffsetEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.OFFSET_PATH);// Set the offset distance and angle
myOffsetEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // distance
myOffsetEffect.property(2).setValue(0); // angle// Create a new Gaussian Blur effect
var myBlurEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.GAUSSIAN_BLUR);// Set the blur radius
myBlurEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // radius// Set the blending mode to Screen
myLayer.blendingMode = BlendMode.SCREEN;// Set the opacity to 50%
myLayer.opacity = 50;1 vote -
Keep Size of the texture applied in 3D Could it be possible to keep the scale of a material when editing a 3D object
I've notticed that the sacle of a substance material (using 2D textures) may change when you edit the object...
Ideally, the best would also to apply this material at the same scale as defined in the Substance material as it is possible to define it.

Appearance Variables Imagine I have several drop shadows, with different colors, but same offset and blur values. Now I want to change the horizontal offset for all of them at once. Even if I use styles, it would require me change each style I have manually.
With Appearance variables though, I could have use something like '%h_shadow' in effects’ values’ fields, in all of these shadows, and set it equal to an actual numerical value in one place.
So, once I change it, every other shadow will adapt this immediately.2 votes -
Labels on cylinders scaling fails When Labels on cylinders are scaled beyond a certain size (relative to object size?), their distortion is wrong
See attached file and video. The original size of that label is smaller, I have scaled it on the object and it just gets dirtorted at the far edges as soon as it gets too large.

3D rendering issues with labels When applying a label to a cylinder, the rendering is not clean. There are artifacts generated in the nothingness. See the artifacts in the attached file. This also doesn't get soled when rotating the object.

Simulate "Crown-Shyness" Crown-shyness is a phenomenon in which the crowns of trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps.
The idea for the effect is that when multiple objects are overlapped, the effect will deform the objects so a gap is created (with a user-defined width). Alternatively, when a group of objects near to one another are bloated, or the path is offset (to a positive degree), the objects will not overlap but instead leave a gap.
An additional setting could allow the user to decide whether the effect will apply to path overlaps within a single object;…2 votes -
Fit a symbol on multiple 3D objects at once Would love that a symbol could fit on MULTIPLE objects at once, like here the bottom petal to have its symbol continue on the left one.
And I would love if I could, from the decals box, get a ctrl/right click option to duplicate one symbol. So far, I need to add it from the symbol panel again which will reset its position to the center of the object.

[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。 新しい3D機能[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。「3D(クラシック)」のべベルには内側か外側か選べるオプションが有りました。同じオプションを新しい「3Dとマテリアル」にも付けていただきたい。このオプションがないと、文字オブジェクトから金属活字のような物体を作成できません。（内側にしかできないので細くなってしまう）実にもったいない。

Let us set the default color for effects I know this was changed in a recent release, but instead of just setting the default color for drop shadow to 100%K, let us choose what we want the default to be. Some of us might want rich black instead - or a different color. And please do this for all effects that use colors (Outer Glow, Inner glow, etc..)

Fractional resolution value in Document Raster Effects Settings I live in a metric part of the world and use millimeters as my main measuring unit, including type, strokes, and raster effects.
Since inch a s SI unit, it now equals exactly 2.54mm.
For me it means 254ppi is 100ppcm, 127ppi is 50ppcm, and instead of 300ppi I use 120ppcm (equals 304.8ppi) — which gives me exact integer dimensions for all of images I use. The grid becomes meaningful and all objects behave and befriend each other.Unfortunately for me, Illustrator plays this game not as good as I want it to — I can’t enter 304.8 to Resolution…

Let Drop Shadow effects ignore each other In Photoshop we can have multiple dropped shadows be applied to a single object, and they all get layered upon each other. It gives users flexibility to use different colors, densities, feathering, etc.
In Illustrator, on the other hand, the Appearance works differently. Each new Drop Shadow get applied to the previous dropped shadow. The larger the blur is, the more useless the next shadow gets.
To get a layered shadow the same way we do it in Photoshop, we have to apply each shadow to its own fill.

Ability to warp more precisely I work in the label industry and we have to warp artwork for tapered containers.
We find that we need to be between whole numbers of a percent.
Is it possible to have the ability to warp 1.3% without it just rounding down or up to the nearest whole number?

Square ZIG-ZAG effect I'm surprised that a zig-zag feature is missing a "square" effect (see photo). It seems pretty basic thing since you have other types of vawy lines. Shouldn't be that much harder to implement compared to other effects.

3D page mockup I'd love the ability to create an open brochure or magazine, or book mockup using the new overhauled 3d tools, but the tool is currently too limited. Seems to me that what is missing is the ability to bend or warp planes after they have been tilted and rotated. There are other ways of achieving this geometry, but they feel like hacks, and the new place graphic/material capability doesn't recognize the geometry that was partly made with other tools before getting into 3d. Please keep developing the 3D features in illustrator with product mockups in mind, including publication mockups.

sombras paralelas Hola! Les escribo ya que no puedo usar la herramienta estilizar de efectos, ya que no me permite usar sombras paralelas. He intentado usar la ayuda de ilustrator y aún así no se aplica a la imagen luego de terminar.

you should consider adding the "perspective" feature from the classic 3D options to the new realisrtic 3D! adds more depth especially if us you should consider adding the "perspective" feature from the classic 3D options to the new realisrtic 3D!
adds more depth especially if used in typography.
The perspective in classic 3D unfortunately is not working well if the possition is FRONT because the render of the sides is incomplete!
Imagine if this feature was part of the new 3D!!!
PLEASE ADD THE PERSPECTIVE INTO THE NEW 3D
thanks guys

Perspective Distort tools to mockup signs on photos If possible please can you add the distort picture/image or even text that has been converted to outlines. this is litterly the only reason for me to use photoshop.
I'm a sign writer and I need to show what the clients sign looks like on the building so I now have to save the sign as a jpeg, then I need to open Photoshop and import the image of the building, then upload a picture of the sign, then I can distort the picture of the sign so it looks like it is actually on the building, I can sort…4 votes -
Please re-introduce 3D VECTORS I know, I know, "3D (Classic)" is still in the Effect/3D and Materials" menu, but the "Classic" designation means it's on the chopping-block.
Please do not get rid of 3D VECTORS! Adobe Dimensions used to be so completely awesome (it was simple, easy and perfect) and that was made "Classic", too. 3D vectors are far superior for illustration than all the trendy raster stuff.
PLEASE BRING BACK 3D VECTORS
Thank you!
