   I hate to see splines in the art. [another "i hate" thread]
  Really, haven''t saw something worse than pictures from Adobe Illustrator.Especially i hate "minimalistic pictures",drawn using besier splines with minimal number of control points.It''s looking...i just don''t know how to translate "zapredelnaya poshlost'' "... ?vulgar?All images have same "style",all looks like drawn by same hand. I have nothing against that style,but seeing it too many times...so i hate it. 
  Can you possibly post an image that demonstrates what you mean? ;  just quick search for images done with adobe illustrator(because it''s most popular vector graphics package).http://www.anguillaguide.com/article/articleview/281/1/77/for even more bad images http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=manga(most of manga are created using splines,and now manga on computer == splines)And all images done with splines looks like drawn by same hand.So somehow i hate splines in the art. Manga w/o splines may be good.(i got idea about that thread after reading other thread,about asian culture,esp,japanese cartoons. I''ve analized what kind of manga i hate and what not, and found that i hate splines. Don''t know why i hate ''em ).i just see that it''s spline if it does not have many enough control points. Have nothing against basic shapes like parabola. ;  Really, why rasism-related threads (about asian culture) are much more popular? ;  Manga created with splines? Are you sure? I think they are handdrawn.But I think the reason why you don''t like them is because they are too childish, not because it''s drawn in splines. ;  So what''s your complaint?I feel you don''t have the slightest notion of what a package like Illustrator is made for. ;quote:Original post by Dmytry  just quick search for images done with adobe illustrator(because it''s most popular vector graphics package).http://www.anguillaguide.com/article/articleview/281/1/77/Whoa. Those are pretty fuggin'' good.And yeah, most manga is hand drawn. Nothing to do with splines.   Jesus saves ... the rest of you take damage."A page of history is worth a volume of logic." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes;  I don''t see anything wrong about the manga pictures, except that they''re anime... ;  yes,i found i''m wrong with statistics,most manga still are hand  - drawn...i recently saw some manga on TV,manga drawn on computer,and manga drawn by hand... and computer-manga looked even worse (for me) than hand-drawn.I mean,say,difference between new disney and old... new are certanly drawn using splines.I like old disney(i mean,VERY old),and hate almost all today cartoons(except hand-drawn).I like hand-drawn images by some painters (on russian forum ne.manga.ru  (that''s mean non.manga)),but i don''t like splinedrawn works by same authors.I anyway sure that i hate splines.i see too many spline-drawn graphics every day (big precent of designs).Maybe,i don''t like specific style of lines,and hate essence of that style,splines. ;  so, you hate smooth curves... good to know...
