Here's what you wrote:
Ivan-Aedler Wrote:No no. Both are the same thing if you refer to computer graphics in general. Vector/Vector graphics are the current 'Saint Graal' of computer games, because you can create as much detail as you want, like using a loupe. When you zoom in , you know quality will remain the same. As a side note, they're still CPU intensive by today standards (even on Core i7), in case you play a HD flash game (or even 640p game) with more than 5000 curves / points of vector graphics at the same time. Engines like Flash/ActionScript still need optimization in that area (to use better the GPU). So people prefer to draw them and use as Bitmap.
If our context is math/physics, then when we say 'vectors', those are more relatead to entities with a value and a direction.

However, they aren't perfect yet and are exhausting for most computers so people prefer to draw them and use as a Bitmap.
Less is more.
...I'm honestly still not understanding, I even looked up some of the terms you used on Wikipedia to get the simplified sintence. I don't know anything about how Engines and HD works. I know what HD is, but not how it works.
Can you tell me, in a
simple sentence, using laymans terms;
If Vectors and Vector Graphics are the same, how come they're seperate sections on the first post?
What are Vectors/Vector Graphics (artistically)?
Also, is English your first language? I understand that an expert or professional in a certain area has difficulty simplifying things, especially if they're eager to explain, (as I can attest first hand) but I've struck out twice with your explanations. Please pitch slower, it's my first time on the plate.
I'll get right on it! Eventually...
Glad I could help.
