Scriptographer
Scriptographer is a plugin for Adobe Illustrator that allows the users to extend and create tools for the graphical medium. Its also very powerful with the under pinnings of Java and the flexibilty of javascript as the script engine.

Lots of interesting projects will be coming from this sweat little application in the future.
I’m currently doing alot of work using this plugin (not for commercial - although it would be interesting to see if it could be used) - I’ve got database interaction, sound control and a 3d engine as just some possibilities what can be done.
I used a very early beta version for my final master’s project and it was sweet then - so this new updated version is awesome.
