Hi guys. Watching the Illustrator webinar today, I saw reference to the Mesh Tormentor plugin. Odd - I'd never heard of it before, but it looks great. Thing is, the website says it only goes up to Illustrator 2015. Anybody using it successfully on CC2017? I'd love to give it a try, but thought I'd ask first. Thanks!

Correct answer Ray Yorkshire

Works fine with  CC2017  on my Windows 7 64

Download  CC2015 here

Mesh Tormentor

Unzip the file and put

MeshTormentor_CC2015_x64.aip

into Illustrator plug-in folder, the pat, something like    c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2017\Plug-ins

Then  open illustrator and it shows up under Window > Mesh tormentor

It doesn't work with Ai 2023. When you select "Sew" in Mesh Tormentor, Ai goes for crash! The download link @schroef mentioned here doesn't work.

It doesn't function anymore. And there is nothing anyone in this forum could do about it.

Maybe the webhosting has not been paid - who knows? You can still get it from Webv Archive, which is the most useful website i know. http://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/http://www.meshtormentor.com/

It runs in CC2017 - at least on Mac OS. I don't know about Windows.
