rmered Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I don't know if anyone's posted anything about this, but this an excellent resource.http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/ You need a password, which is freely given by the programmers.Basically you load a raster file to it.For instance:And it vectorises it, and saves it as an eps or svg file.Which I have opened and saved in Illustrator and it looks like this:What they're looking for is the feedback to see what we think of it.And I think it works quite nicely. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 You can do the same thing with Illustrator.You've got the $400+ to plop down for Illustrator to use Live Trace? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

tBBP Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 You can do the same thing with Illustrator.You've got the $400+ to plop down for Illustrator to use Live Trace?To add to that...the LiveTrace also isn't 100% accurate. It works good for some things (if the raster image is real clean), but not so well on others. I know this because I use it all the time at my job. It really helps when trying to recreate low-quality logos or images that some bonehead customers swear up and down just looks really good and will reproduce at a bigger size just as clean (WRONG ANSWER?!). *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewp80 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I just e-mailed them.It looks like it works really nice, the lion on the helmet looks a little off with the outline, but no biggy.

One person knows one thing, someone else comes across something else.Together, everybody wins.And PS re the LiveTrace thing. I have LiveTrace, and this defecates on it.

sacker12 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I like this program for the most part. However, I tried to vectorize the raster image of the Braves road script font from Chris's site, and it didn't work all that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
