Has anyone tried the Vectorize Plugin for Rhino 7?

Vectorize

Here is a video on it:

How to AutoTrace an image into curves in Rhino 7 using Vectorize :: Shoe Design (Image to 3D Model)

Seems to be pretty quick.

Yes, I used it on some projects and the result was good and fast.
A quick example from a “dirt” image:

I’ve used in on a couple of logos and such - works great and is super quick.

Hi,
I found this to be completely useless. It doesn’t “vectorize” it only outlines and not to well I might add.
The other vectorize program I use is miles beyond this and with many more options.

OK. Do you feel like telling us what program that might be and what it costs?

[3dsynergy]

Sorry I can’t discuss software on this Nda project.

Mine is even better

Obviously we wish for color handling ala Illustrator’s, but the plugins as proof of concept is pretty darn good!

Then don’t mention the project and no nda is violated?
