Illustrator trial learning how to use layers and how to create patterns:Īnd here is a Vornoi pattern created with Inkscape: I really recommend to do some guided work to learn to get started. I did the same with Adobe Illustrator (7 day trail version). I watched the video with one screen and did the same with another PC. These videos are very useful to learn the basics. I decided to start my learning by installing Inkscape in my computer and finding some tutorials in Youtube by Derek Banas. I have used Inkscape a little earlier in Fablab, but that was just by trying without knowing how it should be used. I am not very familiar with computer design programs. Common vector programs: drawing programs such as Illustrator, CorelDraw, Inkscape (free). Common vector graphic file formats are ai, cdr, svg, and eps & pdfs. Vector images can be easily converted to raster. Vector art can be used for many processes and easily rasterized to be used for all processes.

A large dimension vector graphic maintains a small file size. They can be printed at any size/resolution. Vector images can be scaled to any size without losing quality. Vector programs best for creating logos, drawings and illustrations, technical drawings. Vector shapes are based on mathematical calculations. Common raster programs are photo editing / paint programs such as Photoshop & Paint Shop and GIMP. Raster images are the most common image format, including: jpg, gif, png, tif, bmp, psd, eps and pdfs. Large dimensions & detailed images equal large file size. Raster programs are best for editing photos. Raster (Bitmap) picture is Pixel-based link to the source. Demonstrate and describe processes used in modelling with 2D and 3D software 2D ¶ This weeks assignment was to model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, …) a possible final project, and post it on your class page.
