1. Wireframe Conversion of 3D objects distorts the paths, straightens curves

   Converting 3D text to a wireframe often doesn’t show the curves of fonts correctly. During the process, these curves often turn into straight lines or rough shapes, losing the original look of the font or the 3D preview.

2. 3D Effects dithering in Illustrator for MacOS

   I'm noticing in Illustrator version 29.3.1 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 a graphics problem and dithering of objects that have a 3D effect applied. Specifically, I'm using the 'Inflate' effect and am seeing objects sometimes as dithered or pixelated and others that are smooth and normal. I can temporarily smooth the dither if I move the object on the screen, but then other objects with the same effect can have dithers. I'm using a MacBook ProM4 with 48GB and also two 4K 32" monitors. If I move the Illustrator window to another screen, the dithering still remains on some objects unless I actually move them around. Not sure what's causing this.

3. Gaussian Blur Effect Changed in 29.1 from 29.0.1

   As previously reported in July 2020 when this happened with 24.2: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/40865740-gaussian-blur-effect-producing-different-results-f

   This was last an issue with 24.2.3, and since 24.3 it had been successfully fixed with consistent results in 29.0.1.

   December 2nd, 2024: We have discovered that the issue is how the Gaussian Blur effect performs on Process vs Spot colours.

   In 29.1, Gaussian blur now produces an identical effect on both process & spot colours. We'd consider that a fix, as a designer should expect the same result no matter the colour used.

   The challenge here for Adobe is weighing "fixing the blur" vs customer legacy files. As you can see in the comments from my previous July 2020 bug report, customers may have a client with approved files from a previous version of Illustrator.

   To save customers from having to reconstruct existing approved designs with a combination of offset path & new gaussian blur values to try and match previous versions of Illustrator...

   PROPOSAL: Adobe to please add a "Legacy Spot Colour Gaussian Blur" effect under "Effect →Blur" category.

   This way, new designs made in 29.1 onward can use "Gaussian Blur", but if you need to update a file made in 24.0 or 24.3 to 29.0.1, you can just replace the Gaussian Blur with "Legacy Spot Colour Gaussian Blur" on the affected spot colour shapes.

   EDIT: Instead of adding a separate "Legacy Spot Color Gaussian Blur", add it as a check box below the Gaussian Blur radius setting. That will make handling old files in 29.x much more efficient. 😎👍

4. Lighting preview is missing in 3D and Materials panel in Ai 2025, Undo does not work for 3D rotation, performance is slow

   Why is the preview for lighting missing? And why is the render so slow? Also why is there no undo option to take you back to the previous rotation position??!!!! This is Illustrator 2025! Horrible.

5. Extrude on the 3D Materials panel is inaccurate.

   The extrude function does not extrude by the amount I type in.
   It used to work on my desktop but never on my laptop and now it works on neither. It extrudes but by less than a third of whatever I type in. Don't know why this happens or why its started doing it on my desktop too.

   I find it eliminates the usefulness of the whole 3D Materials panel.

7. Strokes on text area, fill disappear

   Not sure if this work as intended, but it seems a bug to me and it does not allow using text areas elements. and strokes.

   I need to apply a silhouette stroke to a whole group of elements.
   I add a stroke, and I move it as the last effect in the aspect panel. This work for every group of elements, symbols and etc. Expect with groups containing text areas with filled background. In this case infact the stroke is removing the color fill from the text area.

8. Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1

   Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.

   Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.

   The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.

   Hi Everyone,

9. Illustrator crashes after adding 3D Materials from Adobe Substance. Deleting default materials leads to problems

   Since I downloaded 3D materials in the Adobe substance online application, and added them into Illustrator, the application crashes.
   I was able to reach the file (Illustrator Application > Show Package Contents > Contents > Resources > Material Resources > DefaultSubstanceMaterials.) But when I delete them, the textures no longer load, impossible to reboot, try other versions, uninstall-reinstall. It always appears like that, I don't know what to do anymore. Impossible to reuse the materials. If you have a solution, I'm interested. Thank for reading :)

10. Round Corners effect works wrong with curved paths

    The native Round Corners effect (not the corner widget!) can work well only with all-straight segments.
    It doesn’t round anything for points connecting straight and curved segments, straightens up curved segments, and hardly fit rounded corners within original paths.

    This is embarrassing. Fix it!

15. Problème Export 3D dans Illustrator: fichier .OBJ et USDZ

    Dans illustrator, après avoir appliqué l'effet 3D, je l'exporte en fichier .OBJ et .USDZ.
    Les problèmes sont:
    - Bug de luminosité (trop forte et non corrigeable) du fichier .OBJ dans After effect (Image ci jointe)
    - Bug du fichier .USDZ (absence de texture) lors de l'affichage en réalité augmentée sur Iphone (derniere version IOS 17.4.1) (image ci jointe)

    Pouvez-vous corriger ces bugs svp? trop nombreux à mon gout pour un logiciel payant..

17. Random extra lines generated along with results in 3D & Materials tool in vector mode.

    I am working on a logo for a client - generating metallic text elements for part of it. The tool works quite well, but I'm having an issue where I cannot get it to stop drawing seemingly random vector lines around the generated element.

    It seems to be persistent across EVERY setting. Bevel or inflate, raytracing or not, any quality, any DPI, any color space, reduce noise or not, it is independent of material - IDK what else to try. They are not selectable, I cannot do anything with these extra lines!

    It does go away when you turn vector off, but I need this logo to remain as a vector, because it will be printed in various sizes from business card to large banners.

    I'm kind of losing my mind here, I'm supposed to present this artwork to the client tomorrow and I don't think I can present it with these random lines!

    Additional note, if I drag that element into the graphic styles tab, and then try to apply it to another copy of the same element, it draws the exact same set of extra lines.

    Additional note 2: The extra lines don't seem to be present if I export the element as a 3D .usda file, but I can't seem to then reimport that to illustrator.

    I just updated illustrator and no change.

    I tried turning stroke off and generating an equivalent offset path to no avail.

18. Effect > Path> Outline Stroke only works if applied to an entire object, not to a stroke

    Sometimes when I am making a complex Appearance stack I want to start with a basic stroke, outline it, and do more stuff to it, but I cannot, because this only applies to the entire object. Please fix this. It's annoying.

19. Illustrator 28.3 shuts down on my macbook pro macOS 14.4 when trying to use 3d

    I'm using a MacBook Pro with the M2 chip and just upgraded to Sonoma 14.4. I also updated Illustrator to 28.3. Up until then, I had no issues using 3D Effects. Now if I attempt to use 3D effects, Illustrator will shut down. A window pops up saying it shuts down for unknown reasons, and it gives me three choices: Restart, report, or ignore.
