Anime's vector import fuction

Virtue · Post by **Virtue** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 9:21 am

Hi,

I've been trying (and failing) to import vectors from a variety of different programs (Illustrator, Flash and Inkscape) with very mixed results. Nothing I seem to do ever imports properly; either they come in as a garbled mess or the wrong colour with line widths wrong, or just completly crash Anime altogether.

Is there a way to successfully import vectors from a program correctly? or is Animes import tool just really poor at it? Is it really that hard to correctly convert simple vectors?

I've attempted many times to import from InkScape to ASP, but never succeed, but Illustrator and Xara XS works fine.
I think there are some incompatibilities in the formats...

This topic has quite a history, if you search the forum archives. The easiest modus operandi (although you might not want to hear it -- I didn't) is to use AS as a tracer. The nodes on AS lines are different from nodes used in illustration programs, and the translatiion compromises AS has to make result in a lot of extra work when you import vector format files.

Ya just gotta suck it up.
