VectorMagic - Precision Vectorization Online



+ If you are an avid user of CGIndia.org, you must have notice my inclination towards Vector Art as we have featured quite a few websites on the subject in last couple of months...well, I do love sharp and well defined lines.... Anyways, today we would like to bring VectorMagic - a precision Vectorization online tool, to your notice. Raster images are pixel-based, whereas vector images are represented by geometric shapes such as lines, circles and curves. The VectorMagic site converts bitmap images to vector images - it's an online auto-tracer. Just upload your image and VectorMagic will vectorize it for you. Vector art is useful because it allows you to scale an image without making it blurry or pixilated. VectorMagic supports inputs in following formats like; JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF and gives you crisp vector image output in EPS, SVG, and PNG format. We will add a direct access link to VectorMagic in CGToolbar for easy access.

AE Enhancers | Featured


+ Recently we come across this great forum/website for After Effects users, which has a nice database of scripts, presets and expressions for After Effects. The forum offers a great way for AE Users to interact and share presets between each other. For knowing more about the community we mailed one of the founder of AE Enhancers, and here is what he says about AE Enhancers:
Alex says: " I founded AEnhancers forum with Paul Tuersley about two
years ago when expressions and scripting became strong features of After
Effects. Just like other high end compositing and animation programs have ways
of creating scripts/expressions/macros and sharing them, Aftereffects had the
tools, but no sharing point. I wanted to establish a system that would be both a
database of scripts and expressions, AND a place where users could discuss these
easily and learn from each other. The forum is divided in three parts, one part
is dedicated to scripting, the other to expressions, and the third to animation
presets (which are sort of "packages" that can contain effects, key frames and
expressions).The site has grown a lot and we now have a little more that 1500
users."
So guys, if you are adobe After Effects user, we do recommend you to join this wonderful forum, which will certainly help you to take your skills to next level. Ladies N Gentlemen’s we give you AEnhancers :)
