Dark - Ah... not quite

Computer graphics 101:

--------------------------

Vector artwork is called such as it uses scalable 'vectors' (lines) to create an image. Vector art cannot carry the pixel-by-pixel colour details as a bitmap image - but it can be scaled to any size without loss of quality.

Vector format = EPS (encapsulated post script) or AI (adobe illustrator) etc

Bitmap images use individually coloured pixels to make up an image. Much more detial can be obtained - like a photograph, but they cannot be scaled up in size without loss in quality.

Bitmap formats = JPEG, TIFF, PCT, BMP etc

Cell shading is a method used to create a cartoon 'cell' style image. This is done by using flat colours and 'shaped' hilights and shadows - ala a cartoon. They use no environmental reflections (like a 3D render).

You can create cell-shaded style images in a vector program, like illustrator, or bitmap program, like photoshop.

So... the image in question might well be have been drawn in a vector package, but it is also a 'semi' cell-shaded image.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
