does anyone know the best way/tools to create images like this:

extreme · 10-18-2003, 08:06 PM

corel draw?

Giorgio_Xo · 10-18-2003, 08:07 PM

Adobe Illustrator

calm · 10-18-2003, 08:07 PM

xara + a nice tablet?

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 10-18-2003, 08:31 PM

Flash.

Mutt · 10-18-2003, 08:42 PM

i dig the vector style art too. You can do it in Photoshop but if you have a vector graphics program like Illustrator or Xara you might as well use that cuz you'll end up with a true vector piece of work.

The Photoshop technique is just basically tracing on top of a photo different color areas with the pen tool. Here is a tutorial, http://scudworkz.net/psmisc.php?id=vi , horrible job the guy did but the technique works if you have the time and patience. Tablet would definitely help.

It would be a cool plugin for Photoshop if u could just hit some buttons and turn photographs into vector looking art.

vector art is mad easy to do i just cant get lighting down

katsuki · 10-19-2003, 12:35 AM

Flash is good to make vector graphics like this. But i prefer Illustrator! It's IMHO the best vector program.

theS2O · 10-19-2003, 02:00 AM

for me..

vector = coreldraw

image = photoshop

I saw the original question, and tried to do it in Illustrator and Freehand. Couldn't figure out how to do it in about 30 mins each.

With Corel Draw (I used it over 10 years ago and haven't used it since), it was about a 3 second operation to convert an entire pixel based image into a vector-based image... you just selected the granularity of the curves and converted away, easy as pie.

Either I'm missing something major with these latest tools (which is entirely possible), or Corel just kicked-ass with this feature. *shrug*

flash has a trace bitmap function, it really kick ass.
however Illustrator has better tools for vector graphics.

Mutt · 10-19-2003, 03:56 AM

Baal post a sample of the photo you converted to a vector illustration. If it's that easy and looks good I'll buy CorelDraw.

I just spent almost 2 hours doing it the hard way and wouldn't want to do this on a regular basis.

Mutt · 10-19-2003, 06:38 PM

well Baal? Let's see what you did in Corel Draw in 3 seconds. I really want to see if it produces a nice vector style conversion of photos.

Can somebody who owns Flash show me a sample of what Flash can do converting a photo into vector artwork? Make it like the figures you'd see in computer games 10 years ago.

Thanks

GFED · 10-19-2003, 06:48 PM

I have a friend that uses corel draw to convert scanned images into vector images so that he can use it for embroidering/printing shirts and stuff... everything done by computers... pretty cool...

link to the original juicy photo to work off to get a real comparison.

Tex Willer · 10-19-2003, 07:07 PM

i draw in corel a lot

corel's great application and beats both illustrator and m. freehand but what cj posted involved HARD WORK no way you can trace bitmap automatically to get that quality

and tracers leave too many nodes, which isn't good at all

JDog · 10-19-2003, 07:36 PM

I've also been trying to figure this out! Does anybody have any links for tutorials for FreeHand to make vector graphics?
