is this the way it is done
http://www.fakin-it.com/tutorials/tuts/vector2.shtml
or is there a simple way to do it, cause for this you need perfect balanced pictures...
I saw a little plugin ages ago that you could take an image and it would turn it into a Grand theft auto box art style vector image..
If anyone knows of this or can remember a past thread then please remind me...
f-2000: Thanks for jogging my memory about this it would be really useful in a project im doing.. :)
Check out this guys site:

Under Vectorworks (hit teh English button at the bottom). Not exactly a tutorial, more like an explanation.
Use the trace bitmap feature in flash
some pretty cool tutorials on that site, his technique for creating the 'vector look' seems quite easy.Quote:

Here is good tutorial:
http://www.vectorize.de/tutorial.html
You need freehand o complete he tuorial.
the trace bitmap in flash isn't as nice as some vector arts on other sites...
There is always Adobe Streamline too.
Adobe streamline is a real pain...
I never got one satisfying pic out of it.
Best way is to trace it mannually in illustrator or freehand using the bezier tool.
You can optimize your pic using "levels" and the "median" filter in photoshop.
here is a result of something I traced in illustrator the above way.

thanx a lot guys this is what i wanted to read...
:D
Cutout Filter in PS
Curve Adjustment
Posterise In PS
They can all be tweaked to give the desired effect
I usuall posterize the picture in photoshop. Then import that image into flash and trace bitmap. If you trace the bitmap in flash without posterizing it you'll freeze up your computer!!!
Agreed on Streamline: It sounds great untill you try using it, then you realize how useless it is.
hm, I see everyone uses the posterize feature in PS.
Have you guys ever tried the 'filter>noise>median' ?
I think it gives better polarisation of the pic to define the
different shades of color.
hello there
i do a bit of vector style illustration
www.django.org.uk
and usually i use illustrator, its a versatile program and worth getting to know (freehand users might want to argue with which is best freehand or illustrator)
tracing photos using photoshop filters or streamline might give you good results but by doing it yourself you have ultimate control over the end result.....

nice vectorart FINK...
cheers - glad you like - and all done with my friend Illustrator (and a little photoshop)
Dammnit, you took what I was going to say!Quote:

Heh.
And if you're doing print work, you need the high DPI which is better to do if you just trace it Illustrator. Plus, I find that when I use programs or shortcuts, I just don't get the same result as when I manually trace it.
a man after my own heart - if you are going to do it properly, do it yourself!Quote:

Are you looking to draw "lines" on a photograph/picture? If so, this is what I usually do:
1- import a picture to Flash and put it in layer 1. Lock it. Break it apart if it helps.
2- Create a new layer and name it "new pic".
3- While in "new pic" layer, draw lines over the picture roughly. Then use the arrow tool to connect the lines, make curves, etc.
4. Once done, delete the picture layer.
The above seems to have worked fine for me.
At least that's what the Sean John guy did (I think). :)
thanx Tony,
will try your way...
