as stated what are the softwares used in creating a vector art? recently i've stumbled upon some of other designer's creation and really got into it. And now i heard that you require certain software in creating a vector art. So anyone of you here are into vector art? what are the softwares you used?

Thread title changed, post your works here.

as far as i concern.. use macromedia freehand

I tried using this
1. Adobe Photoshop (imitation of vector)
2. Adobe Illustrator
3. Macromedia Flash

adobe illustrator, freehand, flash, corel draw

i've just started to learn about vector art.. and i'm using illustrator...

Primitive-user here. Using CorelDraw12 from the first day I found out what vector art was.

Still haven't got the time to research on Illustrator.

hmmm, i have illustrator, an i think ill install illustrator cs2 to start with too...and dang at the same time my monitor is toasted...the red is off and i cant see red, so the red is in black now... sigh.. -.-

i'd go with Illustrator if you're planning to print on paper..

Just use illustrator when your monitor is back to normal.

^its not going to be back to normal...my monitor is toasted already, i need to get a new one XD

okay, i've made 1...and i dont know whether this is a vector art or not, anyone?

Attached thumbnail(s)

erm duno whether is called vector.. coz its line only

but i using photoshop to do my vector.. no problem.. printed them out also..
as long u dont rasterize the layer.. u can pump the resolution as high as u wont w/o loss of quality..

hmmm, lines only? means its not it already haha well, im planning to rework the whole thing, 1st i need to color the babe haha

hello? i m noob in vector art.. i using Illustrator CS2 now..

is there any beginner useful tutorial in AI CS2?

i m having problem in organising my layers... i know Photoshop but this Illustrator a bit confusing..

y not go back to photoshop..
same thing use pen tool...

line art considerable as vector art what? as long as it created in vector-based program

i say illustrator is the best.. coz if you print it out, the image will remain smooth. Other than that, freehand is also good

that's why im confused now and will rework the whole thing haha
seriously...is line art considered as vector art?

Another product worth mentioning here is Xara X it offers faster, higher quality graphics rendering.

You can also go to Xara Gallery to see a few incredible work by the masters.

cool...
my high school just started learning freehand...im not used to it because i play with PS since i started my graphic interest.

haha can something like categorized as vector art?

I would say, yeahhhh.. and cool too

vector means it's not pixel. no matter how deep you zoom in, it's still a curve

Adobe illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand are some of examples of Vector Drawing softwares.

I'm The Vector Maniac, These are some of my achievement works, Have Fun!

m4dskillz..

how long does it take you to put together those jumbled up pieces.. and congrats being exhibited at IDN.

Jay Lim, ur artworks are really nice. I like the "Submission for Computerlove.net(U.S.A) and RepublicArt Exhibition (Indonesia)" piece and the "Koi Fishes" very much.

By the way I use Macromedia Freehand, am still learning. I cant seem to grab on the concept of vector art yet. And yes I was wondering too how much time u take to put up the pieces.

jaylim u freak!

yeah! thanks!

Can anyone help me vectorize this pic into pure B&W vector? I only got Photoshop and my current P4 1.6 is slow as hell cos i got my coding stuffs (project) in it too... I need this so I can spray paint it on my inner panel for my case mod (Project UV-CMA64 in Case Modification section).. You'll get teh credits

^using the illustrator live trace will do but im not that pro haha

My new works, its for the S.M. Kepong Baru mag.

I know its not good enough, i will level up de! XD

me using macromedia flash and freehand.

Wow those are some really nice large art pieces.
Radical, your's is pretty nice.

PS. Was this made using Illustrator? If yes, using what tools? Or did you compile your own stock images and do that background? Thanks for feedback, very appreciated .

Thanks!!

yeah it doesnt fit in, i know but im out of time that time so those black guy standing on the thingy thingy is just kinda like fill up those gap, get what i mean? I'll change it again in time, cuz im not happy with this piece.

Yeah done the whole thing in illustrator CS2 by using the pen and those "shape" tool, the cubes are taken from my trance central design that i did long time ago, re edited and rotated it and place it there, and along with the fonts which i got in www.dafont.com.

^ Thanks man appreciated! If you did the guy standing there, it looks awesome..

which one? the one standing beside the black cute lil thingy?

i could'nt find a topic where i can post my vector work
so i guess i'll use this one..

dont want to create another unecessary thread, so here goes..

http://www.deviantart.com/view/34070893/

^hey that one looks great, i always envy those who can vectorize people... im not good at it as im having hard time on finding the textures and shadows... =/ here's an example... =(



traced a pic of my gal, complete lack of shadows... is there any nice tutorial online hat can teach me to grab those shadows?

edit:
new piece, experimental one.

i like the tree thing.. cool!
there is no like tutorial or anything for vector.. its juz up to your style..
also depends on the program u use..
shadow i did many many layers till i feel it look smooth!
some ppl juz like the shadow to be BOLD.. its the style

nice one everyone.

here is my first non cartoon vector art. will be using this for a website,

thanks!

really? i only found those sites where they teach on using the mesh tool and layers and stuffs, but not much on the shadow thingy... Thanks for the advice hehe

wooot, nice vector on the DJ turn table thing

old stuff

cool, u used the mesh tool huh? o_o

yea, gradient mesh with Illus

yeah can see the distinctive features of the mesh tool in there hehe wished that i knew how to use it too... =/

nbtw... new works progress...

I need ideas and comments to make it look more complicated though... =/



Will be placed into the Twilight series too.

Any ideas?

what is mean by gradient mesh ? use gradient for the vector?


I am a noob here...

try other colors,,,
or do like 4 seasons thingy..

mclelun, ya i think mesh tool is something like gradient one
i like the 2nd pic ur vector.. what program u use?

thanks for the reply,
btw u asking me or R a D ! c 4 L about program use.

because I only upload 1 image here.

1 image 2nd one
lines only
it looks funky

^ its me.. logged on friends account

i asked about how to use the mesh tool thingy XD

R a D ! c 4 L, redo the gradient.
Maybe incorporate a "fun" style with more rounded arrows and geometrical shapes.

redo the gradient? u mean the colors? hehe will do it in time, now not so free for this, have assignment to do. Will try your suggestions when i have the time

This is my 1st typography work so bear with me. Full view please.


I made this for my typography assignment for my college. I decieded to use the theme "Messy" as my main theme and thus this piece was born. I hope the visual elements really brings out the messy theme. And this work is a mess! XD

This is the original though, for the print out for my college assignment it would be in A3 size thus some of the details will be gone

And a minor change will be made for the A3 size print out, that is, a chinese word meaning "messy" will be added into it. It doesn't look right in the original that's why i removed it. The word is just for presentation purposes.

The requirements are that only two fonts can be used. And i can't make any shape using the square, circle, pentagon...etc. But I can form them using fonts. So basicly you can only see fonts inside this piece. Even most of the little basic details and the shapes are made out of fonts and typeface.

Fonts used:
3 the Hard Way Rmx by Fenotype
Impact (original windows font)

Fully done in Illustrator 10.

Might change the design a little in time. Cause the dateline is still 1 and a half week away

dirty and nice hehe.

there is a font call "base 02", maybe you can try that font.
I feel that it is better than "3 the Hard Way Rmx"

hey thanks for the comments it was intended to be somewhat dirty XD

and thanks for the font recommendation too! it does look nice o___o since my dateline is still a week away, ill experiment with it then thanks a million!

Try Helvetica Neue LT also if you can use commercial fonts for the assignment.

sure i can use commercial fonts for the assignment, since the lec never mention anything about it hehe, thanks for the recommendation

btw, i tried base 02, it didnt turn out well, i guess i have to start a new one to see its power :

wa.. this thread sink down like titanic
let me revive with my new work!



http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39933201/

aiseh... all good vectors arts here...

( kinda reminded me , my abandoned work... )

@jaylim, loves all your vector works dude ! cool and nice, esp on those graphics scenes.

@Rad!c 4l , your tracing is okay. I think your problem is the color toning. Look at the hair part, we know you have problem getting the right tone for each strand of hair to stands out. And the nose outline with the eyes brows should have used the darker tone of the shadow line from the neck/shoulder part.

thx man...thx for wacthing me. alot of cool stuffs gonna out soon. catcha!

u guys are awesome.. how u do trees and stuff? do you get a reference first? or just vector from scratch?

i just picked up the pen tool today.. zomg its so fun.

but not used to the layering n stuff. i did a simple logo for a company. :b

theres much for me to learn.. like how to make gradients and wth are composite paths. (@_@)



comments and critiques very much appreciated. (:

i like it except for the red color! haha

ah. the red colour is the company colours. so cannot do anything. :b
