RaVe
RAVE
Raster-Vektor-Konvertierung
RaVe is the ultimate raster-to-vector converter available for Rhinoceros. The software transforms raster images into editable vector files, whether from photos, sketches, logos, drawings, or virtually any other type of image.
RaVe can import images directly from files, the Windows Clipboard, or even a scanner. Its capabilities are virtually limitless, but its greatest advantage is the elimination of tedious and time-consuming tracing work. With RaVe, projects can be vectorized quickly, accurately, and with outstanding results.
FUNCTIONALITIES
RaVe plugin can process both black-and-white and color images using dedicated conversion settings. RaVe supports importing raster images from the following sources:
File
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, and .bmp
Windows Clipboard
RaVe can import images directly from the Windows Clipboard. Simply open an image in your preferred image editor, select the desired area, copy it, and paste it into RaVe inside Rhinoceros already converted into a vector image.
TWAIN
RaVe can also import images directly from a scanner. If you have a hand-drawn sketch that you would like to convert into a vector image, simply place it in your scanner and launch RaVe. In just a few moments, you will obtain a vectorized version of your original drawing.
Raster images are quite different from vector file so, even if it seems almost the same, the vectorial file should be quite different from what you’ve expected; RaVe provides the needed tool to get what you need in just few clicks;
The following RaVe tools are for editing
The curves management tool allows to manage curves, create chines, split curves in multiple points and to connect and complete curtailed curves.
The Offset tool provides a simple ways to duplicate a curve and past a copy with a fixed or variable offset.
This tool provides some useful and smart solutions: using them you can extract the “middle curve” of your project, translate and rotate your project at the same time (using the innovative feature “rototranslation”), and then you can back-up your work on an additional layer. All these tools are available wherever you’ll need them, even if they were not imported by RaVe.
These are the configuration tools, the first manages RaVe’s settings, the second one is a shortcut to all the Rhino’s feature you’ll ever need using RaVe.
Once you have finished your work, you can use your vectorialized images as you should have done with any other profile and then save it as a Rhinoceros project, using any format supported by Rhino; this means that you can use RaVe and Rhino as a powerful way to start a graphic project you’re going to realized inside Adobe Illustrator or any other vectorial editor.
Mosaix is an optional nesting module that can use all profiles created with RaVe.
