Better than the Rasterbator: convert raster images to vector graphics with ONull
Kim Asendorf, an interactive artist from Kassel, Germany, has just released the first version of ONull, a new tool for vectorizing raster graphics.
The software, written in Java with a Processing core, works by changing pixelized color information into a halftone pattern, much like The Rasterbator. The difference is that ONull's halftone pattern is highly customizable, allowing you to choose from a wide variety of vector pixels—circles, square, triangles, X-shapes, etc—and adjust opacity, stroke, rotation, and amplification settings until you get the image you want. One can even import a custom vector pixel, resulting in effects like this:
We're especially excited for the next version of ONull—it will include vector sets and triangle fields, further increasing the transformative, graphic properties of this vectorizing software. For a preview, check out MJ below.

Amazing! Thank you very much for sharing, I really needed this! I have been vectorizing images like this: http://www.coreldraw.com/en/pages/vectorize/index.html on my Windows PC, and it really works great, but I couldn't find anywhere a similar software that does the same for Mac, and now I finally did! I gave it a try right away, and I agree with you that it's really great! I understand why you shared it :)
