hayleyearth Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 attachment=311685:uploadfromtaptalk1390196384535.jpg] Noooo....i think it would look better if you change the letter direction around (reading upright from a seated position)......really
patches Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Hahaha brilliant Patches!!!! Really looking good Thanks Bogus! I'm glad it's turning out ok. All vector artwork was self created... in AutoCAD (not the best tool for the job, but I don't have or know how to use Illustrator, haha)

Im too stooopid for AutoCAD hahaha so I just use the basic Roland cutting program CutStudio
patches Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Awesome stuff.... What cutter do you have? Im too stooopid for AutoCAD hahaha so I just use the basic Roland cutting program CutStudio Also got a Roland. A little GX-24. Works wonders that little thing. I have used CutStudio for a number of projects, but I found that sometimes its image outlining is inacurate... especially on shaded/colourful images. So I did things the hard way. Pasted all JPEGs into CAD and traced them with lines and arcs. Then made polylines out of them so they're offset-able and easier to scale or move. I know Illustrator can probably do all that with 1 click, but I think the result wasn't too bad in the end. That damn rat was the most time consuming Edited January 20, 2014 by patches

Hahaha yeah I mar sukkel on with CutStudio... Better to stick with what I know hahaha... Eish and yeah image outlining on shaded pics is the worst.... the cleaning up of the jagged lines sometimes takes forever but I got the hang of it so most times it works a treat

Makes blues bluer and oranges orangier.

Makes blues bluer and oranges orangier. Yeah, the guys at Baum really produced something beautiful there! If the Sukuma's downtube was rounder, or even a more constant shape from top to bottom, I wold have tried a vinyl wrap like that. (Deon) 1
