Look ahead! A few drops of high-tech collated with a piece of artistic point of view… This is how BeFunky looks ahead. We as the technology team and artists sit together, order 4-5 different drinks. We stare at those drinks served in different tastes, colors, different glasses with different shapes. Then we talk. We argue. We fight, enthusiastically with all the good will we have for the next step. And here, I talk about the next step: BeFunky Vector Graphics Engine.
From now on you will see some acronyms in BeFunky like: SVG, EPS, maybe PDF… I am pretty sure that most of the users here are already familiar with PDF (Adobe’s common document format). Now, I know that I should immediately answer 2 questions:
1) What are SVG and EPS?
2) What do these terms have anything to do with BeFunky?
The world of digital artists, photographers and designers are full of with vector graphics, which are small in size, scalable, standard and portable. They make great use of these features in poster design, logo design, photo editing and digital creativity.
We recently developed a technology, which will be integrated as an update or a special feature to BeFunky and which will allow you to retrieve outputs of some of the effects in vector graphics format, such as SVG, EPS or PDF. For now I can easily say we are sure that the raster to vector conversion capability will be on BeFunky and we will push the limits of this technology as much as we can. Simply, I wanted to announce you that the technology is there and it’s just a matter of time to integrate it and present to you.
Just wait a bit more after BeFunky Plus is released and we will fulfill this need for vector representation of raster images. The academic paper of this algorithm will also be freely available.
Ladies and gentleman, keep in touch with BeFunky!
