nice design. Did the designer deliver .jpeg files only or were there, vector files as well, like .ai?

I guess just jpeg. I dont know what the other one is your asking about.

Can you explain what that is?

The .jpg is a pixel image, depending on the resolution you have a number of dots that make a very fine hard edged image or if it's low res you get a bit of a grainy or obvious raster edge image.

A vector file, like a cad file, or an Adobe Illustrator file, is made up of mathmatical formulas. The key difference is that when you enlarge a vector file, for a video graphic for example, it looks exactly the same really large and really small. When enlarging a raster file, a .jpg, you will eventually lose sharpness and eventually be litterally looking at dots.

I was just curious if you wanted to do any motion graphics with the image. If you're going to do posters or print for the image, the media maker will want at least a really large .jpg like 300 dpi. Most web graphics are 72 dpi. So if you plan on sending it to print or incorporating it into a magazine or billboard you'll need a 300 dpi image or a vector file of the image.

Hopefully it will look a lot better whenever it is finished in a few days. Although we are being very open about this build, we can not show you ALL of our secrets

Now all I have to do is order 160 more sheets of osb, and get it all painted It is all braced up and secured, construction is 80% finished!

I think my buddy Zach is being a little too secretive.

It was made out of a paper mache mixture, and it required several coats to achieve this effect.

I think the total cost to make this stone was under $70, but I could be wrong on that.

[brad]

And thanks for the commments everybody!!

It keeps us going and wanting to push to make it even better than originally planned!!!

I hope this photo set is helping soome people that want to build their own someday.

It's a lot easier to paint everything when the wood is laying flat on the ground than when it's standing up vertically. Just something to think about.

Quick with a sprayer too! -Tyler

We already unfortunately noticed that!
