    WOW! That's a lot of details!

    You might get some of that across in a laser frame, but it will scan with a lot of flicker.

    If you want to use LaserBoy for any of this, let me know. I can help you figure it out.

    All software has a learning curve usually proportional to its capabilities and unique features. Pointing with a mouse is in no way easier than tapping a key.

    I just need them where they will come out decent without alot of detail... just the basics. Does that make sense?

    Can someone just do the EGA one without all the lettering?

    That's the easy one! It's all straight lines.

    Oh I think I see what you mean lol.... so anything with curves or multiple directions is not good? What about the Coach's one? Is that any better? I know DJ Orbit one will suck.

    The total length of the lines necessary to make an image determine how long it takes for the scanners to get around the whole drawing. Remember, when you trace out a drawing, it's all really made of straight line segments between points. IE: a point is a vertex and the line between consecutive points is a vector.

    I posted ega.ild above. You will need to optimize this for scanning.

    When you draw a vector image, you only need to define the end points of straight lines. When you use an app like LaserBoy, it can add all the points along straight lines for optimal scanner performance.

    Do you want to try your hand at tracing the other ones?

    Default Converted A Couple

    I was able to convert a couple of the images Using BMP2ILD with some pre-processing in a graphic utility...
