just photoshop it
go to Filter>Artistic>Cutout. And add these settings.
Number of Levels: 8
Edge Simplicity: 4 (The higher you go the more it looks like a vector. The lower your go the more it looks realistic.)
Edge Fidelity: 3
is should have a vector look to it
im using CS2 btw
if thats not what you want ill think of something else |

ehrm... the point about vector is that unlike bitmaps, you can resize vector as much as you like and it won't get pixelated, EVER!

no program will do it as good as it should be.
best is to trace it by hand, illustrator.
illustrator has trace functionality, like flash, but the outcome is too complicated or too messy and not as clean as it should be when done by hand. |
