# most vectors are just tracing though, aren't they?
(I helped save b3ta! mr spoons, Thu 24 Apr 2008, 19:48, archived)
# I don't think tracing counts as a 'real' vector
I'm pretty sure there were some arguments about what exactly vectoring was a while back

# Me too.
Particularly given that everything posted on b3ta ends up being rasterised anyway, regardless of how it's originally made.

i'm going to look at b3ta through a cathode ray oscilloscope from now on

# What you really want is a modified collection of shird world orphans
who sketch the output really quickly on to paper and display the screen to you via the medium of flickbooks.

# :)
if i was modifying orphans, it would be with massive spoilers and 20in rims.

# no
it's harder than tracing


and thus art

art=hard to-do stuff

# Hahaha
why on earth does art have to be hard to do? I really don't get that.

# oh, dear.
i chose my words poorly.
i think vectors and rotoscoping, when done properly, look amazing. i just presumed that similar techniques applied to both.

am i off the hook?

# Technukilly
anything posted on here cannot be a vector, since it's been rasterized into jpeg/png/gif. The true vector remains in whatever-the-hell format it was created in

Or some such

# True, but I feel it's also fair to say that
being called a reference is undoubtedly in reference to the 'method' that was used to create the work.

Although, people could post links to a swf if they so chose to keep it vectory.

# Indeed, indeed
But to satisfy those who try to claim that if something was done in paint, say, but it looks very "vectorish" it is a vector, then I say, yes. Why not. Let it be a vector if it looks as such
