Members cgleathercraft Posted March 24, 2014 Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 Would anyone be interested in requesting templates or measurements be vectored out and then made available for purchase? I recently vectored up an idea I had and uploaded it here as a PDF (I would make both/multiple formats available). I didn't really expect it to get a whole lot of downloads so when it hit 60+ I was really pleased to know that I had made something of value If there is enough interest I would take anything that people would like vectored up and then make it available for purchase for $1 or so on my website. I would not expect anyone to pay an unreasonable price for a pattern and I feel that $10+ for a most pattern packs out there is a little high when i'll only use one pattern every once in a while. Most items would be $1 - $2 with more complex items maybe $3 (something with a lot of detail). I am not interested in copyrighting anyone else's patterns or ideas just looking to make it worth my time to make it available to everyone. Thoughts? Quote
Members Sixer Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 I'm not that familiar with vectored patterns... but it sounds like something I might be interested in! Is there a sample that I can check out? Thanks! Eric Quote
Members cgleathercraft Posted March 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Vector images do not lose resolution as they are resized. so a template can be resized to 100x its original size and everything will remain in perspective. I have a sample uploaded here as a PDF file titled "12 Gauge Shotshell Box" Quote
Members Sixer Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Very cool! I have a handcuff case clicker die that I posted about a while back.... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=47828&hl=handcuff I've had quite a few requests for the pattern, but don't have time to send them all out. Could you help me post the pattern here so it's available to anyone that wants it?? Quote
Members GlenH Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Could you start with a scanned image? When I get a kit at Tandy, I usually scan it as a PDF/JPG so that I can print it out and cut my own leather from it (that's saved me a few times when people wanted purses that Tandy no longer sells).

You should be able to upload files to your posts There is a size restriction so if you can't get it to go that may be an issue. I can help in that case. Could you start with a scanned image?

I had planned on having a variety of options available. JPG and PDF files would be included, plus the illustrator source file and any other type that gets requested. Quote
