btw John's answer: Hey, if you look at your glyph palette, you'll see there are actually several different variations of the exact same character you're trying to swap out; you can easily handle all of this within Adobe Illustrator or the latest CC version of Photoshop, in AI, just head over to Type > Glyphs, and in PS, you'll find it under Window > Glyphs.
My own cluelessness is what sparked this whole massive debate, which is why I even bothered asking the question in the first place, though nobody actually suggested I should take a look at the Unicode settings. It turns out Shameless was the root of the problem, a realization I didn't hit until I finally cracked open the font file and fired up Fontographer. My bad to everyone involved, and thanks for the help.
Yeah. I can't even find this specific font because I haven't a clue what it's actually called, so I just grabbed Shameless, though there’s a noticeable difference compared to the one above. It crossed my mind that maybe the guy just built his own font based on Shameless—you know, a total rip-off—but how would I even know if he's got any actual sense of design when I can't see the rest of the characters? I've got Fontographer, but again, how am I supposed to recreate the whole set when I only have these two letters to go off of? For now, I'm just sitting here waiting to hear back from him. If he never hits me back, it'll be a damn shame because I'm really digging this typeface, unlike most of those other handwritten junk fonts out there.
I ripped through Shameless and then Shameless deluxe, but they’re basically the same damn thing, except now I'm stuck with these weird V, T, and t characters. Honestly, what kind of wizardry did he pull to end up with this mess? It feels like some higher power is messing with me.
If anyone actually has a clue, Ron probably does, so I might just hit him up at rdeviney@hotmail.com—even though I know coppersailor28 will tell me I'm out of my mind if I try. But hey, I'm stubborn as hell, and once my mind is set, there's no changing it. Whatever.
hmm, yeah Could be, I guess. You clearly know your way around a design suite, but man, I gotta tell you—your nerves are absolutely shot and you've still got a hell of a lot of life left to live. Why don't you try actually doing something productive in that field instead of just stressing out? btw, Ron's Vintage collection is named after what I consider the most legendary designer of brushes and textures out there, Ron Deviney, and it has zero to do with the font itself; he just happened to use that specific typeface on the cover of his collection, which is why it carries that title—honestly, the title could have easily been "I have no clue, damn it." That’s exactly why forums like this exist, so you can ask a question and maybe someone who actually knows their stuff can give you an answer, even if you're currently flying blind. You probably want to jump down my throat right now for being so clueless, don't you? At this point, I'm thinking my only move is to find the font through some shady back-channel just to test it out. Thanks a million, man!
Like I said before, it looks pretty similar, but it’s definitely not Shameless because the crossbar on the 't' mimics the curve of the 's' and extends further down, plus the start of the 'V' curls much deeper than what you see in Shamelles. You can't really nail those specific font details unless you're looking at the deluxe version, the regular one, or some other variation, but I've checked and it doesn't match any of them. Am I just splitting hairs here? No. I'm just trying to find the actual font.
If you actually care about getting your prints to look decent instead of some washed-out mess, you might want to take a look at this http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1959
3D animation 1. If you're looking to knock out TV commercials, cartoons, or game assets, you really can't beat Adobe After Effects 2. 3ds Max 3. Getting those sexy moves down in Poser is honestly killer when it comes to character design
When we're talking strictly 3D, this stuff just blows me away. But then again, The Simpsons are a whole different beast—that's 2D hand-drawn work done in Photoshop, using tools like Cintiqs, Storyboard Pro, Pencil Check Pro, and Maya
Peter Martin8 said:What GIF...? Dude just flew into this thread without using his brain for a second.... Man, Benjamin King2, you're really pushing your luck with the jokes, aren't you? 😂
But hey, gotta respect the persistence; you're a regular professor at this point. 👍
Dečec, just read what she actually wrote: "I did exactly what you said, and now on my desktop I see an icon with a little '1' followed by a dot and then a gif. When I click it, Adobe Photoshop pops up, and now what am I supposed to do???"
Look, she basically dragged a file from her email onto the desktop and ended up either with a raw GIF file icon or she unzipped it and got an animated GIF that looks like a video to her.
If that’s actually a video file, there’s no way it’s sitting under 1000 KB. On Gmail, just hit download, then when the new window pops up, select open; from there, it’ll either trigger 7-Zip automatically if you’ve got it installed, or it'll throw up a menu asking you to pick a program—something like "use programs..."—so you just find 7-Zip in the list, hit OK, then double-click the video right inside the 7-Zip interface and watch it.
