Instead of fiddling with direction handles and anchor points, Xtream Path lets you click anywhere on a segment and drag it into the desired shape.
FILTERiT is a plugin suite developed by CValley that adds a wide range of creative distortion, transformation, and duplication effects to Adobe Illustrator. It is known for its ability to create complex images in just a few clicks—effects that would otherwise require extensive manual work or would be impossible to achieve using native Illustrator tools.
