Vectoraster is a graphics utility for creating vector-based raster patterns from bitmap images.

The raster patterns and point shapes can be freely configured to produce different styles. The resulting rasters can then either be exported to an EPS, PDF or TIFF-file or simply copied into most vector graphics software.

Features:
  • Create point rasters or linerasters.
  • Many configurable 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
What's New
Version 4.1.0:
  • Improved custom shape rendering that allows varied fill color of most EPS vector custom shape points and removes the individual clipping rectangles in the resulting exported rasters.
  • Added option to turn coloring of custom shape points on/off.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause asymmetrical bitmap custom shapes to be draw incorrectly.
  • Fixed a bug with the contracting point shape vary contraction option and changed the way it works to make it more interesting and useful.
  • Some minor fixes and tweaks to the raster pattern preview and random value measurement mode.

I never heard of this program before today, but I must say that after playing around with just the text settings for a few minutes that it's definitely worth the full price, let alone the great sale price I got today.

It's not only fun, fast, and clean, but I can see some really great applications for the generated imagery. What a pleasant surprise.

I love this software. Very fast and easy to use. But please increase the count of points over 1 million. Or just infinite;)

Nice, but sorry to disappoint, but there are no actual infinites :-)

Great app. Does just what I need it to do quickly and efficiently. Just enough options to tweak without being overkill.

Good price too.

This is great. I don't recall another application that does this. (Andromeda Screens for Photoshop does some of its effects but purely in bitmap). I will definitely play with it more. Right now I am liking the generated harmonious colours, the grid and the random vector shapes I can further tweak in illustrator. Definitely a one-off and not "yet another mac application that does the same old thing"

Very crude (not mature) app, above all in the manual.
I didn't find a word about the secondary image or the meaning of the various settings which are really little intuitive (to obtain lines you must set polygon of six edges and proper sizes!
Some info may be deducted only from the screenshots in authors site, but using it is still enigmatic.
The Display window sometimes disappears.
To PETER: it can open jpeg files, they must be dropped NOT in the big grey window but into the little "image well" on top right.

Shouldn't you have more than bitmap as an option to turn into a vector based object? What about psd, jpeg, gif and of course png?

Thank you,

  • Four raster distortion modes to twist, bulge, wave or split the raster pattern.

  • Set raster point color or use color from the primary or secondary source image.
  • Universal application.
