Hey kids! Are you getting harassed at school because you are computer geeks who like surfing Kirupa better than playing football?
Remember, Bruce Banner was a geek to, and then he became the Mighty Hulk because he had a geek job involving complicated stuff.
The next time those nasty kids come around to beat the living daylights out of you. just show them this badge, and tell them that they better watch out when you become a horrible green thing thanks to the radiation you get in your geek job.
Err… Okay, so maybe I’ve been sitting by this computer too long…
Anyway… New vector thing.
XXVIII (28?): I guess what you see as the shoulders are the biceps. He’s sort of hunching his shoulders up, so the area between the head and the bicep is the shoulder…
Or that’s how I see it, anyway.
mdipi: I want you to listen very carefully now: Get yourself Illustrator!
It’s friggin great. And you can make graphics for flash in it that adds almost no bytes at all to the filesize beacause Flash utilizes vectors as well.
Guys. Vector isn’t really difficult. Look at it. It’s completely clean areas of color. I’m betting what you dread is the Pen. The Bezier curves, right? It just takes a wee bit of traning and you’ll be all set up, because once you understand the pen, vectors are your friends.
There, there… The pen is your friend. The pen wants what’s best for you. The pen will take care of you. Listen to the pen. Niiiiice pen. Mmmmm… Create yummy crisp vectors-Pen. Mmmmmm…
And guys… One more bit of motivation for you to learn vectors. As flash guys, you’ll see the benefit here.
I just exported the image from Illustrator and saved it as a swf for my portfolio. The filesize was 6 kb, and then it acts like an ordinary group of shapes in flash and can be converted to a MC or Graphic symbol for further fun. Try that on with a bitmap.
