MSVector
Draw sharp vector art, at full speed
MSVector is a native vector illustration app with Bezier pen tools, exact Pathfinder booleans, live effects and multiple artboards. It is for artists, poster makers and icon designers who want art that stays sharp at any size.
Exact Pathfinder
Curve booleans that never fail with a 'cannot perform operation' message. Cut crescents, suns and stars with exact results.
Live blends and repeats
Blend shapes in smooth steps and repeat art radially. Both stay live, so you can edit the source after you build them.
Fast canvas
20,000 shapes render in about 27 ms at full retina resolution, while the interface keeps running at 120 fps.
Neon Drive poster
An artboard in the middle, tools down the left, and Properties, Layers and Libraries panels on the right.
Pathfinder and gradient mesh
A feature sheet of artboards: Pathfinder booleans cut the moon shape, and a gradient mesh fills the next artboard.
