romperoom Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 for me the pen tool in Illustrator is like second nature. I try the pen tool in PhotoShop, and I don't like it. People that use photoshops pen tool don't seem to like illustrators though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elunikoparke Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I did this with streamline then colored it with Illustrator: http://www.aerosolwarfare.com/L2/graff/cop.gif'> I drew this with the pen tool in Illustrator: http://www.aerosolwarfare.com/L2/graff/2AM.gif'> [/b] what is stream line? i have Illustrator. but who makes stream line?

casekonly Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 it's an adobe program for converting scanned line art to raster art. go check it out onkazaa...it's relatively small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romperoom Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Casekonly is right, but it actually converts it to Vector not Raster. Vector art is based upon mathematical calculations. (illustrator) Raster is based on Pixels. (photoshop). anyway it's the best way to get your line art into illustrator. If you use Flash, Streamline is what a lot of animators use to get the characters into a useable format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 word. thanks for correcting me romperoom. i don't use streamline or illustrator, but i'm aware of them and their potential...maybe i should look into illustrator some more. your graphis are very impressive...good stuff. hope to see more.

Guest diggity Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Originally posted by romperoom If you use Flash, Streamline is what a lot of animators use to get the characters into a useable format. one of the better features is batching for sure. i don't really like the way flash converts to vector. i guess theres really not a wonderful solution for doing it, someone should work on it though. for now i guess im stuck making selections in photoshop and saving a work path. speaking of which, joker, have you tried that? also theres a program called silhouette if you ever want to give it a shot, but i dont like it.

Guest One_in_Ten Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 i like the flash and the freehand end results better than streamline fo sho'. but the only way to do it right is by hand in illustrator or photoshop and export the paths to illustrator. Sometimes its not so bad editing a traced bitmap from flash in illustrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Originally posted by diggity for now i guess im stuck making selections in photoshop and saving a work path. speaking of which, joker, have you tried that? Uhhhh... no. How do I do it? Scan a drawing in and the select the line work? Then do I save it or export into to Illustrator? I'm definitely looking for something to make my life easier in Illustrator. If I can learn more than the pen tool... I might just sit down and cry.

heavyLox Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 ****the pathfinder palette is great to create more complex shapes out of a series of simple shapes. In some cases much easier to deal with then trying to trace a really complex shape, ie a bike tire or some such. the pen tool is flat out the best tool there is.

casekonly Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 that looks dope, one suggestion others may not agree with me on...ok, the lighting on the cars. you know that lighting function in photoshop? i wonder if it would look good if you selected individual layers with the cars on them, and used a custom lighting feature to re-light the cars, or maybe darken the lighting on them? i dunno, just a suggestion. it looks great anyway.

yoink Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 tis cool, I think the font should be a more classic sans serrif font though. It would put more of an ummph into it, the type would be more legible, and it would give it a more poster like feel. (for choose your side) not too mention maybe scale down the lion logo on the right to match the one on the left, it does throw it off a bit. Alson the car on the rights license plate thing with the moleism designs is a tad distracting, it really draws my eye there when I sit back and look at it, maybe if you either layered some blur or darkened it or got rid of that type completely. just my opinions, take them or leave them, I like it though.

casekonly Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 ok, render it out...use F9 for a test render, or just go to render adn render it out..then, after it's rendered, there will be a little disk at the top left of the redner window, click it and save til your hearts content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casekonly Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 there's another way to do it...you can render to: ...it's in the render directory..when you pull up that window...scroll down about half way and there's a button that says "file" under "render to output" or something like that. anyway, yeah, i'd suggest rendering to an eps file which can be read by photoshop and illustrator..render at 300 dpi...well, 150-300 maybe even more if you want a really really high quality pic. no problem giving out the tips and advice. -casek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casekonly Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 i don't know which version you're running, but from my experience 3 and 5 are the most reliable as far as not crashing goes. asa user of 3dsm, you soon learn the rule of save! save! save!

yoink Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 sketch one more, Illustrator. First time used for this, I call it a sketch, becuase it was done under ten to fifteen minutes (you can tell with the harsh lines. but I think it gives it a nice rough quick feel to it). cheesy vector art can be fun. heres the link. its deviant art again. anyways let me know it it doesnt work.
