Guillermo M Leal LLaguno has released ImgVectorize, a new 3ds Max Plugin that can trace vectors from raster images. The plugin is capable of either tracing outlines or creating centre lines, and once a spline is created the user has options to optimise it, interpolate it, or smooth it. Find out more on Guillermo’s website or watch a tutorial on Vimeo.
Neat. Though I’m not sure why I would use this over Illustrator or Inkscape since it is just bitmap tracing. I’d rather have a finalToon replacement, ie output vector paths and shapes of the camera view.
Looks nice, show safes some extra steps to find the optimal curve conversion.
