I have done a fair amount of research on these artists. Truly amazing works. It's nice to have most of them, the good ones anyway on 1 site. Nice thread Joe. Big fan of the gradient mesh!
Probably THE only thing in AI that makes FH obsolete. :huh:

Neat stuff, if one has that much free time available. The article comments were interesting, especially down toward the bottom.

So,  :drunk3: i send the job to the rip with live transparecy (v 1.7 or whatever) and it craps out with a memory error.

That much time? It's a career choice, rather than a hobby. There are professional illustrators

But as my old art teacher used to say, if you wanna make it photo real, why not just take a photo...

I have my doubts about this, as do other folks seemingly...

 "voice of reason  (10 August, 2006 17:22) I don't buy it. It's a trick.

All these guys are using the mesh tool to trace a mesh from a photo, then claiming the source photo to be the finished artwork. Not the other way around!

Until I see a vector file posted, instead of a jpg that somebody says is a vector image - then I don't buy it."

I can't get over my first impression of why not shoot a photo or use a rendering software... all this effort doesn't seem to have the same satisfying value as painting on canvass or something, just the right to say you push a vector drawing program way beyond it's anticipated usefullness?  :huh:

You did see the wireframes, yes? I have dabbled enough with gradient meshes to KNOW these are real. I have a few files in Vector from these artists, would you like one? It's true Bro, believe it.

It would be fun to tear one apart! If it's no trouble, I would like one, but not if it's a bother. Thanks!

I happen to be on a sorting files kick right now, so no problem at all. Check your e-mail in about 30 minutes... cool?

I've played enough as well to know this stuff is possible, but why not just take a picture and retouch it?

For technical illustrations the gradient mesh technique would be fine, as a display of what is possible, it's remarkably impressive.

As for any point? I don't see one

It must be a career for the independently wealthy, I guess. Maybe it's just the German efficiency in me, but why spend X number of hours tracing a photo so it looks exactly like the photo?
