Overview

Create vector-based raster patterns by relying on custom bitmap images and personalize their style with the help of intuitive configuration tools

Vectoraster is a straightforward graphics utility specially made to help you create vector-based raster patterns and halftones based on bitmap pictures.

Create stunning raster patterns and halftones starting from custom images

Vectoraster comes with a simple and intuitive interface from which you can quickly and freely configure the raster patterns and points shapes in order to generate numerous different styles. The best part is that the resulting raster is generated and displayed in real time as you adjust the parameters.

As follows, the left panel enables you to load a primary and a secondary source image, change the measurement method and adjust the offset and exponent value with just a few mouse clicks. You also have the option to adjust the document size and view detailed information about the generated raster.

Easily adjust the parameters and colors of the used pattern and raster points

Thanks to the right side panel you can switch between different shapes and change the edges, rounding, and contraction parameters. You can even customize the point size, outline, and color, and change the point aspect and rotation.

On top of that, Vectoraster helps you choose between different pattern types and manually set the spacing value. You can even transform the selected pattern and try different settings or apply distortion effects.

When you are happy with the generated raster, you can easily export everything to vector format via EPS and PDF files, as well as use the JPEG, PNG, and TIF standards.

Batch process multiple images or frames from a video

It is worth mentioning that Vectoraster comes with batch processing capabilities and, as a result, you can apply rasters directly to all images from a given folder or to frames in a QuickTime movie file.

To sum it all up, Vectoraster is a highly customizable OS X application that helps you create vector-based raster patterns with just a couple of mouse clicks.

What’s new in Vectoraster 7.2.3

• Improved SVG and EPS custom point shape importing.
• Updates to software update and version checking.

Descriptions for Vectoraster 7.2.2

Name: Vectoraster 7.2.2 for Mac
Version: 7.2.2
Release Date: 24 Jan 2018
Mac Platform: Intel
OS version:OS X 10.11 or later
Processor type(s) & speed: 64-bit processor

Overview

Vectoraster is a graphics utility for creating vector-based raster patterns and halftones based on images or gradients. The raster patterns and point shapes can be changed and varied across the pattern to produce many different styles. The resulting raster is always shown, updating in real time as you change parameters. The result can then easily be exported as vectors to EPS or PDF files, as images to JPEG, PNG or TIFF, or simply copied and pasted into most graphics software.

You can download and try Vectoraster for free, but with some limitations. To remove these limitations and get the full version you have to pay for the application.

Features

• General
• Many different point shape types, including circles, polygons, font characters and imported custom vector shapes or images
• Detailed control of how you want point shape, transformation and color to vary over the raster
• Base how the raster points vary on source images, gradients you define live in Vectoraster, or a combination
• Advanced line-raster mode with lines of varying width instead of points
• Patterns
• Many different raster patterns with detailed control of how the points are placed.
• Easily rotate and offset the raster pattern, and add multiple distrotions like waves and twists.
• Output
• Copy raster output and paste it straight into most vector graphics software.
• File export to EPS and PDF for vector output, and JPEG, PNG and TIFF for bitmap.
• Export point data (location and size) to a CSV file for further CAD or other processing.

What’s New in Vectoraster 7.2.2

• Fixes a bug where TIFF, JPEG and PNG file exports would be double resolution on retina devices.
• Improved compatibility with vector point shapes exported/copied from Sketch.

Overview:
Vectoraster is a graphics utility for creating vector-based raster patterns and halftones based on bitmap images. The raster patterns and point shapes can be freely configured to produce different styles. The resulting rasters can then either be exported as vectors to EPS or PDF files, as images to JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, or simply copied into most graphics software. With the batch processing tool you can also easily apply rasters to frames in a movie to use the effects in animation. Basic halftones demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7gb19soxBo

You can download and try Vectoraster for free, but with some limitations. To remove these limitations and get the full version you have to pay for the application. 


Features 
・Many different point shape types, from circles to polygons or custom shapes from imported EPS-files. 
・Use characters as point shapes from any installed font, using a specified text to select the characters. 
・Outline mode, where points are outlined, and you have to option to vary the point outline with point weight. 
・Set raster point color or use color from the primary or secondary source image. 
・Vary different parameters such as size, point aspect or shape contraction with the point weight to get different effects.Patterns 
・Six configurable raster pattern types, including alternating grid, radial and varied density distribution. 
・Four raster distortion modes to twist, bulge, wave or split the raster pattern. 
・Easily rotate and offset the raster pattern.Output 
・Copy raster curves straight into most other vector graphics software. 
・Vector export to EPS and PDF. 
・Bitmap image export to JPEG, PNG and TIFF. 
・Batch processing to apply rasters directly to all images in a directory or to frames in a quicktime movie file.Upgrade price is $12.



What's New in Version 6.2.6:
