Emboss, Magic Circle & Diamond Generator [Adobe Illustrator script]

Generate complex geometric patterns and pseudo-3D effects instantly. This script for Adobe Illustrator automates the creation of "Magic Circles," geometric mandalas, diamonds, and pseudo-emboss effects. It turns simple shapes into intricate vector art in seconds—something that would take hours to calculate and draw manually.

⚠️ Technical Limitations (Please Read)

Regarding "Scale Emboss," "Oblique," and "Offset Emboss": These specific features generate pseudo-3D faces by duplicating and connecting anchor points. Therefore, they cannot be applied to Compound Paths or Outlined Text.

• Target Objects: Works correctly on simple, single closed paths (e.g., Circle, Square, Polygon).
• Reason: These functions rely on sequential anchor point indices. Compound paths (like text outlines) have irregular indices, which prevents the script from calculating the "faces" correctly.

🚀 Key Features

1. Pseudo-Emboss & Faux-3D Effects Create stylistic 2D simulations of 3D depth.

• Note: These create graphical "pseudo" effects for illustration purposes, not true 3D models.
• Scale Emboss: Creates a frame-like depth effect.
• Oblique Projection: Simulates cubic/block depth with adjustable angles (Pseudo-3D).
• Offset Emboss: Adds beveled edges to shapes.

2. Magic Circle & Geometric Patterns Perfect for HUD designs, magic effects, and sacred geometry.

• Auto-Connect: Automatically connects anchor points based on rules (Odd, Even, Step-by-Step).
• Internal Patterns: Generates stars and webs inside polygons effortlessly.

3. Diamond & Gemstone Generator Instantly generate vector line art of gemstones.

• Brilliant Cut (Top View): A mathematically accurate top-down diamond view.
• Side View & Polygon Cuts: Instantly turns shapes into faceted gems.
