And then vectorized with Inkscape's build-in vectorizer. A render to svg in render formats options would be nice. Blender in OpenOfficeorg? Why not integrating it as an overlay window in OOo documents would be pretty efficient. (Easier and faster than adding blender in OOo core.) ODF (Primary format for OOo) has OLE-objects. The .blend file could be handled as an OLE-object. When viewing the ODF document with the .blend file. OOo would start up (call) blender when opening. And render the space where the .blend is shown in the document. To finish it off, when closing leaving an image on that place. Thus programs without knowledge of blender could just show that image. Interesting possibilities. The images could be rendered to a big format (1000×1000).

You see, with free software like Blender3D and OpenOffice.org this type of daydreaming is actually possible. ;P Hoooray for freedom!

Maybe it would be an idea, to make it possible for it to import .obj (or .blend!?), then these wonderful cliparts could be rotated/scaled! Well, we don't know what OOo looks like in some years :) Hmm, hasn't open office got some brief 3d-tools?

In the meantime, that's a fantastic job and a well deserved prize. Perhaps one day, Trevor might concede to release his clipart library in a .blend file, then you can render them any size you want.

Well, no doubt the icons in this package are very nice. However, they're hardly suitable for anything except website graphics - as they're far too small to be of any use for print. Gez: Alright.

Although it's more common to see scalable artwork as cliparts (corel, MS office), it isn't a condition. @Alexander: No.

Congratulations ! It's a very nice collection. I have almost never played with cartoon shading... This work shows me that I should give it an eye. The result is amazing. Impressive work!
