Eight raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline (vectorcraft_effects::pixel::brushstrokes), under a new Effect › Brush Strokes submenu between Blur and Distort in the Raster Effects section: - Accented Edges (edgeWidth pt 1..14, default 2; edgeBrightness 0..50, 38; smoothness 1..15, 5): the edges of the softened object painted towards white chalk at high brightness or black ink at low brightness; Smoothness also leaves the faint edges out. The shape stays as it was. - Angled Strokes (directionBalance 0..100, 50; strokeLength pt 3..50, 15; sharpness 0..10, 3): light areas in right diagonal strokes, dark areas in left diagonal ones; 0 makes every stroke a left diagonal, 100 every stroke a right diagonal. Sharpness brings detail and bristles back. - Crosshatch (strokeLength pt 3..50, 9; sharpness 0..20, 6; strength 1..3, 1): the detail kept under pencil hatching along both diagonals, Strength passes of it, the edges roughened. - Dark Strokes (balance 0..10, 5; blackIntensity 0..10, 6; whiteIntensity 0..10, 2): short strokes towards black in the dark areas, long strokes towards white in the light areas. - Ink Outlines (strokeLength pt 1..50, 4; darkIntensity 0..50, 20; lightIntensity 0..50, 10): black outlines over the edges, ink hatching in the shadows, shadows darkened and highlights lightened. - Spatter (sprayRadius pt 0..25, 10; smoothness 1..15, 5): each pixel shifted by noise up to 0.4 x the radius; Smoothness makes the grains larger and smoother. - Sprayed Strokes (strokeLength pt 0..20, 12; sprayRadius pt 0..25, 7; strokeDirection Right Diagonal, Horizontal, Left Diagonal or Vertical): strokes along the direction, scattered by up to 0.3 x the radius. - Sumi-e (strokeWidth pt 3..15, 10; strokePressure 0..15, 2; contrast 0..40, 16): wet strokes, ink bleeding from the darks along paper fibres, more ink with pressure and an S-curve contrast for rich blacks. It works in value only: hues and saturation stay, and so does the object's shape (no fringe in the transparency). A stroke averages the colour along a segment through the pixel (16 samples at most, the art softened first when they lie more than a pixel apart); strokes lie in rows around the object's centre, each row starting at random and each stroke shifted along itself, with streaked noise for the bristles. Everything is in document space, so the effects look the same at any zoom or resolution, move with the object and draw the same every time; outsets and reaches are exact. On a 2000 x 2000 raster in release the slowest settings take 0.3-2.0 s (Crosshatch at 50 pt with 3 passes the most). Shared helpers instead of copies: edges::sobel (Glowing Edges now uses it, unchanged), distort::displace and texture::Tones are pub(super). Catalogue rows with parameter docs, menu entries, Sprayed Strokes' direction dropdown, translations (de, es, fr, it, ja, ru, uk, zh-hans, zh-hant; menu labels in cs and pt-br), tests (parameters and clamping, outsets and reaches, each filter and option showing, chalk and ink on the edges only, shadows and rich blacks, Sumi-e keeping the shape and hues, hatching keeping the tone, strokes smearing along their direction, Spatter's radius, resolution and move invariance, canvas, multithreaded, PDF and SVG, the command sweep with junk parameters, the menu) and ROADMAP.

# Effects parity
|
||
|
||
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-10 · **Change:** major (first checklist, counted from the effects catalogue) · **Target:** Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.x)
|
||
|
||
Every entry of Illustrator's Effect menu, by its public feature name, against VectorCraft's effects catalogue
|
||
(`effect_catalog()` in `crates/effects/src/lib.rs`) and the Effect menu built from it
|
||
(`crates/ui-egui/src/menus.rs`). Counts are **measured** from the catalogue; "depth" notes are estimated.
|
||
Part of [target-app-parity.md](target-app-parity.md); open work is in [gaps.md](gaps.md).

|

The pixel-filter pipeline (`vectorcraft_effects::pixel`) is in place: each new filter is one function, a
|
||
catalogue row, a menu entry and translations. Measured throughput: 0.7–1.2 agent hours per filter
|
||
(see [calibration](target-app-parity.md#calibration)), so the 29 missing filters are ~20–35 h and the Effect
|
||
Gallery dialog another 4–6 h. These parallelize well across agents.
|
||
|
||
## 3D and Materials
|
||
|
||
| Item | Ours |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Revolve | initial: live, editable profile, rotation and light gizmos, flat shading, SVG/PDF output, Expand Appearance ([revolve.md](revolve.md), #846) |
|
||
| Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate | none (menu stubs) |
|
||
| Materials panel, lighting, ray-traced render | none |
|
||
| 3D (Classic): Extrude & Bevel, Revolve, Rotate | none |
|
||
| Turntable (30.0 beta) | none |
|
||
| Export 3D objects (OBJ, USDA, glTF) | none |
|
||
|
||
The `three-d` crate (depends only on `geom`) builds, rotates, projects, shades and depth-sorts the surfaces;
|
||
the effects crate turns them into art. What's left (Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate, caps, materials, ray-traced
|
||
rendering, Turntable, 3D export) is 45–75 h, still the largest single gap.
