Question:

Best (and easy to learn) vector-drawing ap?

I'm using MMFlash at the moment and it's a bit tedious.

EDIT: I'm not using it for tracing like most of the vector stuff on here. It's for creating original artwork which is then scalable.

# can i jack your thread
anyone know of a good site for finding a generic multimedia driver??
(, Tue 4 Nov 2008, 19:41, archived)
# driveragent.com
is pretty good.

# cool
thanks i'll check it out :D

# you confuse me.
The driver must be for a specific hardware product so you need the manufacturer's driver and not a 'generic' one.
Are you thinking of codecs?

# You get generic drivers
for things like webcams, that make the basic features work but probably ignore any fancier proprietary features.

# I understand that.
I'm just confused as to what a multimedia driver is. There must be a product?

# i'm not sure of the make of the sound card
so i was hoping i could get a "generic" driver - maybe i'm just being to optimistic! :D

# Can you open up the computer
and look at the sound card? It might have the manufacturer and model printed on it.

# i could
but its a neighbours computer and i dont really want to go pulling it all out (or the computer!)

# ah ok, a sound card.
watch this space.

download the free lite version of this

www.sisoftware.co.uk/index.html?dir=&location=downandbuy&langx=en&a=

read the report and find the bit about the audio card and see whet it reports. It may have a link to the manufacturer if it recognises the card.

Sadly there are too many platforms ( soundmax, cmedia, soundblaster etc. ) that are not similar in operation so a 'one driver fix' is unlikely.

# I would suggest Inkscape or Omnigraffle (mac only)
but I suspect we are talking about different types of vector drawing apps.. :)

# inkscape
is pretty simple

# Best
will always be illustrator.

Easiest to learn. Probably Xara. ( it practically does it for you if you let it )

Oh and CorelDraw is worth a look.

Not as advanced as Illustrator (no meshes, I believe) but a much nicer price.

Dude, it´s over 2MB!

A hint: the animation looks like it´s in slow motion. You don´t need all those frames to make it work.
