F1sh Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 I have a sketch of my body shape I want, but it's of course, small. Anyone have a good way to transfer a small design to a full scale size. I'm thinking of maybe tryin to rig a home brew overhead projector and just taping a piece of poster size paper to the wall and tracing. Just looking for ideas here. Quote
weezerboy Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 why don't you take it to acopy place and work out what scale you need and ask them to enlarge it? Quote
KeithHowell Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 Scan it into a raster image and digitize it into a CAD package. Then you can scale it to any size you want and print it accurately. I use WinTopo and TurboCAD which both have free versions available for download at Wintopo and TurboCad Quote
krazyderek Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 depending on how small the sketch is, u may not be happy with what it looks like once it's "full size", i would suggest using some base shapes, either the ones u like the most or, the one it most resembles, then work from there in full size pictures on a big desk to get what u want. but the projector sounds like the easiest idea if u have one handy.
