raster to vector conversion
captainbob replied to captainbob's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Yes Michael, I'm with you. I drew on a board before AutoCad and then when 3d came along I switched to SolidWorks. And for most of that time the software developers have talked about designing a program that could do the conversion. Since I have been away from the industry for so long I was only wondering if a conversion program was ever perfected. Oh well. Bob -
Pete48, you sure have that right. Isn't modeling fun? Bob

Thanks Tom, that seems to be the problem with all I've seen. They vecrorize into pionts or short lines and the you still have a lot of work to do. Bob -

So am I. I need to make the masts first. I only get to build about 4 or 5 hours a week and with having to make 60 hoops and 50 belaying pins things don't go that fast. Bob

Novice or not you did a fine job. Bob -
Restoations are tricky in that you don't want it to show what's new and what's old. You've done a great job. Bob

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
