Today we present you some useful scripts for Adobe Illustrator. These scripts have been designed by a talented Ukrainian developer and a friend of mine — Yemz, who is also known as the developer of the Free Mesh Tormentor Plugin. The Random Swatches Fill scripts colour the objects into the colours that have been selected from the Swatches panel.
You can download Random Swatches Fill script by clicking the Download button on this page.
Install the script into the following folder: - For Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_GB\Scripts
- For Mac: Applications / Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_GB\Scripts
As an example to illustrate the work of the Random Swatches Fill, let’s take a vector work which consists of a lot of one-color objects. I want to draw your attention, the objects to which the script will be applied should be ungrouped and selected. Open the Swatches panel while you still have the objects selected. While holding the Command/Ctrl keys, select colors in the Swatches panel, which we will use for coloring of the objects. Apply the Random Swatches Fill, to do so go to the File> Scripts >Random_Swatches_Fill. As a result of our actions, we will get the color objects, colored in the random order
The Random Swatches Fill script can be applied not only to the whole work, but also to a couple of objects. With the Lasso Tool (Q) select a couple of objects and while holding the Command/Ctrl keys select the colors from the Swatches Palette. Now start the script. As a result, a part of the vector work is colored randomly with earlier selected colors. You can also experiment with colors, gradient meshes and patterns from the Swatches panel and see what incredibly interesting results you can get. I hope that this script will be useful in your creative work.
