I downloaded a copy of this plugin for illustrator last night.. Its called FilterIT 4.2. I was testing out illustrator's 3D and warping and gradient mesh's to see how long it would take me to do this with text in illustrator just as a test in response to another post asking for help...
I was able to get the exact look of the text but it took just over an hour of playin around so i figured there had to be an easier way. That is when i did a little research on vector plugins for illustrator and stumbled upon that FilterIT 4.2. With this plugin i got the exact same look in under 10 minutes with just a little playin with the tools..
I was just curious if anyone else here had any thoughts on it
Anyone familiar with Illust. Plug-In FilterIt?
