Vector Shapes Filler fills Illustrator shapes with elements, lines and pixels
Vector Shapes Filler launched on aescripts. It's an Illustrator script that fills your artwork with custom elements, stroked lines or pixel art.
The launch video starts with the manual route, building a grid of small rectangles over a thumbs-down shape, which takes close to three minutes on its clock. Then it runs the script on the same kind of shape. A dialog asks what you want to create, and its four modes fill shapes with custom elements, elements of different sizes, stroked lines or pixel art.
From there you choose a filling method and an arrangement method, set element dimensions and gaps, and pick where the filling starts. Pixel art has an option for gaps between the created shapes, and stroked lines have a precise connection option. You press Run script to generate the result.
