well I was wondering if anyone knew some good free raster to vector type programs. I did try installing illustator and that was a horror nightmare and in the end I gave up on it. Damn you adobe and your crappy shared componet installers. *cough* anyhow. I found this one
Autotrace
http://sourceforge.net/projects/autotrace/
Although it's command line tool. There is a gui but it requries things I don't feel like looking into >_> So far it seems okay and I was able to take a line drawing and make it into ai and import into flash. It seemed to make it into many different pieces though. sorta wierd. But i'm not sure if I did it all correctly. Lots of options to setup in the command line and it makes my head spin like that . .especially if I mispell something >_<. guess I should make a batch file or something and just switch things out :/
My problem is that the vector I have is vector path . . and that doesnt seem to open up in flash even if I export it as an ai from photoshop. It seems to work in Moho but moho doesn't make sharp edges and tends to round things so it messes up the whole image. I was trying tracebitmap in flash to make vectors out of images .. but for basic stuff that's okay but things like this it fails horribe. it breaks up the lines alot and makes them all chunky like there is globs of blood flowing through the lines in spurts >_>.
Guess i'll try this out next.

sorta sucks when you want it a certain way and can't find a good way to do it >_>.
