Additional notes

Manipulate pattern swatches

The pattern plug-in manipulates the pattern swatch in many ways, controlled as well as randomized, modifying the shift / shear / scaling / rotation and internal color of the patterns, combining the patterns in multiple ways and color combinations.

Combine pattern swatches

The patterns are combined as multiple fills in the appearance palette, with varying blend modes and opacities. The patterns create a 'graphic style' that can be used in other documents and designs.

Tumble / experiment with 1000s of different pattern settings

Click on the tumble button to tryout 1000s of different settings of color / blending / art style modifications and much more, explore millions of different pattern designs.

Randomized color fills

Plugin also mixes a randomized color fill (as an optional creative bonus) as the top pattern layer to add unusual as well as subtle color effects to the pattern design

Expanded patterns

Patterns can be expanded and used as normal paths, apply styles / 3D bevels / sketch effects and more.

Text

Text can be used as a pattern, simply drag to the swatches palette and use.

Images

Images can be used as a pattern as well (though they need to be tile images to be effective)

Backgrounds etc

The patterns can then be used in Illustrator as backgrounds or text effects and more, or can be exported to other applications such as Photoshop and After Effects or SWF format.

Fashions etc

An amazingly powerful plugin and very easy to use and to create stunning visual designs. Use in a variety of industries such as fashion, cards, illustrations, t-shirts, posters, and more.
