Water text effects

The newest Picture to People tool already is online. It's a tool totally focused on drawing water text effects.

Its results are essentially different of the ones you get by using the Liquid Text tool. Briefly speaking, this new software draws text with water appearance without destroying the font curves, but using them to guide the shape that water should have.

Unlike most tools of this kind, usually these new water renderers work better with font faces that are not very irregular. Too irregular fonts tend to generate a lot of interference, so the final image has too much foam.

Below I show you what our new Water Text software can make.

Maccala improvement: Curves simplification again

The first implementation I did for curves optimization was good, but not good enough. In very extreme situations, the algorithm could fail, so the result of simplification was a curve with a different shape from its original form.

After some more hard work, I could finally develop an algorithm that I was not able to make fail, even when simplifying the more bizarre font faces I have ever found in my whole life.

Below I show some more tests made using even more weird and complex fonts than the ones tried before. It's never easy, but my vector drawing library is getting more and more powerful.
