The ear looks fine to me. o__o??
And I don't even know how to vector, so hush! :x

felix · 2007-05-05, 03:00

What's with all the jagged edges anyway >.<
---------------------------------------------
It's not a vector if it has jagged edges :P

Reads Rikies post..
Haha.. Just look at the top part, it's not colored.. actually thats not a good word.. filled in properly.

Jinto · 2007-05-05, 03:01

Hm, maybe if it has directions... and materials like in 3DS Max, you might want to check if all face's normals point forward (in the viewport direction, if not flip them... I suppose if the face is drawn from the backsite it will be transparent) or set the applied materials to 2-sided? (uh actually I don't know anything about inkscape, just a suggestion from my oberservations in Max). Or maybe set the rendering precision of Bezier/Patch/Nurbs elements to adaptive (maybe you used some sort of fast rendering). You can also try to bring thos faces that are not fully seen a little further in the front (in z-direction)... maybe they get overlayed partly by other faces.

KiNA, I know Illustrator is the proper tool, but if I'm vectoring anime, I think something like PS is better.
For the most part cuz it's relativly simpler in design. ^^

Yea.. thats why I was asking wtf happened to her hair >.<

It not on inkscape .. exporting to png introduced it >.<

I cant find a tutorial how to save and avoid jagged edge either >.<

I'll go and ask the wisdom of anon .. and pray they aren't the anal ones >.<

felix · 2007-05-05, 03:09

There should be no issue with format..
Mm.. Le me' check..

Daniel E. · 2007-05-05, 03:21

Regarding what I mentioned about the ear without color.....

This is what I see after clicking on the link posted here:

And this is what I see when I open the file in PS:

A problem with IE on my side, perhaps?

felix · 2007-05-05, 03:28

No a problem with InkScape.. on KiNA's side..
I can only imagine he's saving it as Png-8 or something and with all the color gradients for the edges its going over the color maximum. Should just save it as jpeg anyway

--------------------------------------------------
Concerning the jagged edge issue..
Simple black shape... also some text. (text is also vector

)
..do you see any jagged edges?

Jpeg

Png-8

Png-24

KiNA · 2007-05-05, 05:51

I love anon ...

2nd version

the ear was cause by a bug in Inkscape... saving in .svg an exporting them with GIMp cure the problem.. or updating my inkscape with a newer version that crushed the bug...

The jagged edge happens because i was viewing it with irfanview.. O_O as weird as it seem @_@

Ah.. I see last_hope lurking... POST dammit!

felix · 2007-05-05, 06:18

You know I lurk in these threads and well the top part of the forum ALL THE TIME x3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Her, right eyebrow looks funny. (that would be left side in the pic)
BTW, I have to ask, what does IrfanView have to do with it?

Goes of to lurk in Kashi's thread. =)

KiNA · 2007-05-05, 06:24

because I view my pictures in irfanview .. thats ywhy i can see all those jagged edge =/

KiNA · 2007-05-06, 06:15

o_o .. After all that vecor ruckus.. I hink it would be much preferable if I stick to what I do best .. Altho, I be somebody think differently

I just realised that one of my favourite girl haven't been chosen yet (actually, I kinda found the source pic on /e/

)

CC

.. the hueg butt girl..

Anybody called for a pizza?

solwyvern · 2007-05-06, 06:37

=\
Never use IRfanview to view .png files..
On mine, the whole thing literally breaks up.

↑ This is a png w/ transparent background.

Also, what screen resolution are you using? I had very jagged lines in photoshop when using a 1024x768 resolution, switching to 1280x1024 fixed the problem.

KiNA · 2007-05-06, 06:40

1024x768 .. I never bothered to get a bigger monitor since it wasn't a priority .. besides, mine still work like new ^^

*Huff* everyone going Vector

and i'm just too lazy read the essay of vector tutorial that Kina give in Sig tutorial

Anyway i see that vector graphic really clean and nice, maybe i should try making some...

EvilDragonBlade · 2007-05-10, 12:24

Great job on the vector.

As for your sigs, I like your lucky star ones the most, its quite simple, and has decent composition compared to others. Its not too contrasted and you should juggle around with filters with c4ds or other tools

. I would recommend learning on how to use c4ds more efficiently; Try out adjustment layers like Color Balance, Photo Filter, Selective Color, and for sure Gradient Maps <3; And try to not depend on custom brushes (Yeah its pretty hard to not use custom brushes but its too limited for uniqueness imo :P)

.. well every1 from themself to their grandpa is making a vector by themself.. just browse the FC threads.. I'm just jumping on the bandwagon.. Even tho I do hate vector myself.

Well, to be honest .. I see my sigs as experimenal testbed for me, to be able to make the same thing over and over again is boring IMO... As I pointed tin the 1st post... some works like a charm other sux .. That I admit, lol .. I'm no very good at PS myself yet

Anyway, OVER 900000 hours on MSPain lol ... nah, acually, doing this during my free time after my study.. Doing it on inkscape .. I still cant use gradient well .. so I avoid anything that needs me to use gradient to color

=/ bleh .... BG isn't done,I hate doing wallpapers as well =/ .. Anyway, C & C are very much appreciated

... I do know her neck kinda look flat =/ .. Seriously hats how the original pic is too >.<

Original..

Vector..

EvilDragonBlade · 2007-05-11, 09:14

The circle part within her eyes should have more of a defining stroke, its a bit too thin for me heh (like in this vector http://out3.net/files/181_3pi9v/Haruhi%20Vector.png) & same for some parts of the outlines unless you like very thin lines. Why dont you try out vectoring in PS? It may be better for you since you have experience with it.

I do have to give props for vectoring screenies ^^
