my god what a fantabulous rpg! i had been playing this the last month or so and just beat it. i had forgotten what an excellent rpg this was.
a friend of mine said they made a sequel to it but i'm not so sure he knows what he's talking about. were there any followups to this masterpiece of a game?
oh and i've been working on a car rendering in illustrator for one of my classes this term. i'm pretty much done with the lines and am just fooling around with flat shadding at the moment. the final should be a full color rendering with proper shading. though i may keep the car white for simplicity and time concerns. tis my favorite car...
traced. i dont have the time to try and do something free hand. this is just a warm up exercise for the class anywho so the instructor told us to trace.

As Trans said, cool car. I've only just just just started with illustrator, I can't do much more than trace using the curve tool. It's quite good fun.

yeah i've messed around with live trace a little bit. it's kinda gimmicky but great for creating quick little vectors for projects that don't need a whole lot of detail. plus the style that i normal trace in is impossible to do with live trace. here's an example...
granted i took this to photoshop and airbrushed some real quick colors in, you get the idea.
Stu, i do enjoy the later model FD's... but one of the main things that make me stop in my tracks with them is the engine man... as great as it is.. its alot of work, and expensive...

Nice one.
The style I like to work in lends itself quite nicely to Live Trace. I do thick, dark outlines of characters, scan them in, then I (used to) outline them in Illustrator and take them over to PS to color in. Now I just use Live Trace/Live Paint to get it all done in a fraction of the time. If you play with the settings of Live Trace, it can get pretty accurate. And if I scan in an image and alter the levels in PS before Tracing, I get a very good trace worth working with.
