Up until now I thought the existence of vector art like that was over-exaggerated. I'm very impressed, thanks for sharing tracer.

what?! That's fucking crazy.

How the hell do they control all those points and gradients?

They much have machines with like 4 TB RAM
tracerbullet
   tracerbullet on Jul 29 '06 at 12:42pm
definitely. i guarantee they have an empty external hard drive to use as a scratch disk or something. i don't even know how to do gradient fills :-p

it is neet, but it makes me feel like they are just using a direct photo underneath, and that isn't so impressive.

It's well done, but that's about it.
tesco
   tesco on Jul 29 '06 at 1:18pm
yeah. I prefer stuff like lifeinvector. It's more creative but just as technicaly acomplished.

thanks tesco, that's more like it

Man, that makes my vector of Kurt Cobain I did look like poo. (of course, I was only 3 months into illustrator... and I possess far less talent than all of those designers.)

I need to start messing with gradient meshes again. I don't have an illustrator class currently, so all my tooling around is for this site, so meshes are obviously out the window.

that's pretty effin good man - what an amount of work must be in that... and then you have just recreated a photo

yeah, it's impressive, but whats the point?

   .moto. on Jul 31 '06 at 5:33am
there was this girl in our art class who would copy photos of elves and liv tyler and shit abosolutley PERFECTLY... i mean, it was pretty impressive but there's not really any feeling behind it...


really i'm just jealous.

fc gravy on Jul 31 '06 at 5:35am
holy crap! are you serious? that is amazing but i always didn't like photo realistic stuff but i admire the wrk. they got skillz i'll give em that.
mr. vega
mr. vega on Jul 31 '06 at 7:55am
cool, but a lil too heavy on the file size. defeats the purpose of vectorness.
i carnt spel
i carnt spel on Jul 31 '06 at 8:05am
it looks good but my d-70 does this in less then a second...

i have never been much of a fan of photo realisum in any form, if it's a painting show it's a painting, use the brush to its full potential, leave a mark, show a stroke... the idea is to imagine the unimaginable not create the already available. Maybe when they start puting these images into incredible context i may change my mind!

Someone should ask Chuck Close "what's the point".

I think, with vector photorealism, it's the process of creating & not the final outcome.
mezo
   mezo on Jul 31 '06 at 8:17am
it's the process of creating & not the final outcome.....that is more important.


Damn, I need coffee.
tesco
   tesco on Jul 31 '06 at 8:20am
well vectors can be blown up to any size, so they do have a point
fc gravy
fc gravy on Jul 31 '06 at 8:22am
chuck close rocks!

there's definitely not a huge point to it, other than unlimited size since vectors don't get pixelated. i just thought it was cool :-p
squigey
squigey on Jul 31 '06 at 12:59pm
Not much point to the photorealistic versions but the link I posted above shows a stylistic way of creating the vector work. She's really good and affordable.

it looks good but my d-70 does this in less then a second...

And my first thought here was "Where the heck did you find a 70-sided die?"
stickymike
   stickymike on Jul 31 '06 at 1:00pm
apparently "incredible" now means "complete waste of time"

thats all I see

I fail at using the [i] tag, sorry.

Bjork scares most people. Personally, I want her to have my children, and they can run around like crazy little bastards in Iceland. And I won't live with them, because Bjork is already married, but once I move to Iceland I can live down the street and visit them on weekends, and Bjork will call me on the telephone to remind me to bring their boots when I come down, but she won't just say it, she'll fucking sing it into the phone at me!

hannabear on Dec 09 '06 at 10:16pm
they should make a blogger's version of word where everything just translates. like 'lol' could become 'they laughed uproariously, as if they'd been friends for years.'

They should hand out oversized novelty vaginas at baseball games. You could use them to catch foul balls.
