So I was looking up extensions and plugins to help make my workflow go faster. I came across astute graphics. They have some pretty impressive plugins.
My question is, has anyone used the tools? Is it worth investigating in buying the bundle? Is there any reliable torrents out there to download the whole bundle?
Also, post the most useful plugins and or extensions that you use for Illustrator, Photoshop and inDesign.
illustrator by default doesn't have a pretty vital tool to remove the unnecessary points without affecting the shape at all, left by shape-builder, auto-tracing and such. i use that single feature from one of the plugins.
they're worth investing if there are are certain complicated things that takes you more time and effort than on average.
i haven't explored them that much, but i remember that astute plugin feature that lets you dynamically define various types and sizes of object corners. they have well integrated native-feeling interfaces for that. it would be a complicated fuckery with multiple separated objects by default.
just steal them and try them.
also, if you're a dumbass and for some reason do web design in photoshop and not in illustrator or some other more appropriate, vector and layout oriented program, than this is a good extension to have:

after effects doesn't have a good way to precisely snap the object's anchor point, so this is essential to have:

I tried some of them but they're buggy as fuck, obvious shoddy workarounds instead of full fledged plugins.

cosigning this. I need Stipplism specifically. I found one download but the plugin crashes Illustrator on startup.

Funny, I just bought stipplism yesterday. Works pretty well, has a lot of use. It may take some time to figure out how to get it to do what you want, but it's very worthwhile. Have to say it's overpriced though, especially when I compare it to some plugins I've gotten for AE
