Im not very good at using adobe illustrator and was hoping someone would be able to vectorize this image for me. I tried a few times and got horrible results.
-
Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! Yeah, that ain't gonna happen without a lot of time and effort. I don't even think Vector Magic could help you there. Good luck!
-
Yea if someone vectorizes that for you they are either the nicest person in the world or incredibly bored.
Curious, what were you planning on using it for?
-
Haha yeah I figured it was a long shot. I tried to auto vectorize it a few times and it didn't turn out to well. I think I'm just going to push this idea to the side for now lol.

You would pretty much need to seperate each character image and vectorize one at a time -- so would definitely be a time consuming undertaking !!
-
Have you asked the artist for a vector copy? Where did you get it? Could be a simple email if you explain what you plan on using it for. Thx

That might be the weirdest mix of SEGA an Nintendo characters I have ever seen ;)
Anyway, I second that is pretty time consuming to do a proper vectorization of that picture. It is probably done in vector format from the beginning, but there are a lot effects added to it that is making it more or less impossible for programs like Vector magic to do something good about it.

I hope you can use .psd files. I had to use rar since the file is larger than 2 mb.

I just realized that Mario is nowhere to be found in that collage. Surprising, for one of the most iconic characters in gaming history.

I don't see any vectors in your psd file. Maybe because psd originally a raster image file type.

Drat. I'm using CorelDraw, since that is not very popular, I have to export the file to another format. Next try : Adobe illustrator.

Using automated vectorising rarely gives a satisfying result. Vector files are used where images need to be scaled without loss of detail or sharpness. With auto vectorising you immediately loos much detail.
Here a detail of both images:
-
You are right. I have tested cranking the detail level up to max and fiddled around with the other settings, got the pic a bit better, but up close it does not look so good. I did compare the images, but I obviously did not zoom in close enough.
-
I took some time to vectorize one of the characters in the drawing. It took almost a full hour to do this, but I'm not a pro so maybe it can be done faster.
The knight at your service: (you can zoom without loosing the sharp edges)

Yet again a good effort, but still not rely usable for a wall poster.
Just to compare:
-
Well, of course it's not as good as traced, it's Vector Magic. No one's going to trace all of that, though.

I think the original poster was joking when he made this post. It will take years to hand vectorize this!
-
He hasn't replied at all so maybe..
-
I'm pretty sure he figured somebody had a better program that they could just pop it into and it would do it for them.

or is completely clueless when it comes to the scope of work.
