Convert image to halftoned triangular perforation ??
- 
 Hi everyone, Im faced with a challenge of creating something like the image... 
  a halftone design on perforated panels... Creating it in Sketchup should be very easy.. But making the vector from the image is a challenge.. 
 I cant generate this vector from my image...Ive tried looking for softwares that can do that but most that i tried cant do this exact thing.. Would truly appreciate if anyone can help...or suggest a solution... Edd

 ... the free tool Inkscape could probably do a good part of the job? Itยดs tracing tool is not too bad. 
 maybe you can get the desired shapes this way to fill these shapes with your triangulated pattern then. - The now created result(s) should provide a good basis for a final second vectorization ? ...

 This topic is so important for me as well, so please keep posting how you come along Sure i will... I found one good site that makes halftone vectors of images.. I just dont see the triangular perforation pattern option.. and they come with watermark in the output...but works well... Once i got the image halftoned, then vectorization should be an easy job BTW, I failed to mention the above is the famous DGJ+NAUโs bank building for Raiffeisen in Zurich...not my project...

 ... thanks Cuttingedge! just an other video link which seems to be very close to what you (we) are looking for  
 Up from minute 4 it is getting interesting because the tutorial-presenter is creating his own custom pattern obviously with ease I hope to find the time to test this procedure soon and if i succeed i will report here also I hope to find the time to test this procedure soon and if i succeed i will report here also

I havent tried inkscape, Now for sure I will.. I also found a quick dedicated app for this purpose which is very easy to use.. its called halftoner from http://jasondorie.com/page_cnc.html. This is mainly used for CNC pattern production which generates high res image or vector (dxf) I was able to generate this image of my city's skyline..
