    Yes, they are vector-based shapes so they scale up and down very nicely. The file format out of the program is SVG, which is a tricky format to convert to G-code to run a CNC plasma torch with. I've had to code my own conversion utility. I intend on doing some 3ft x 2ft sculptures, so scaling up smoothly is a big deal. The program is VectorEye by the way.

    I want a nice portrait of my Mondial to hang in my office at home, and a matching series of portraits for each successive Ferrari I'm able to aquire! Somehow a metal sculpture seemed more appealing to me than a painting.

    I composed a print and had it printed on canvas from a photography company. It was called gliche printing I believe.

    When I got the canvas (16 x 20) you could not tell it was not a painting.

    It tends to be a bit pricey tho. 16 x 20 cost me right at 100 bucks.

    Here is the image I had printed:

    Jerry Thanks! They look cool. I have a similar one to the 1st one but brighter and with a better composition - more color from the times square background. If I get a chance to scan it in I will post it for your input.

    Thanks again.
