Bevel text effect online

Recently I have published a new text effect generator able to produce realistic bevel effects. By using this bevel text maker, it's possible to create high quality beveled logos in a few seconds.

This bevel text generator application uses a completely new text rendering engine. This algorithm brought fresh new features to the already huge list of P2P text effects, like for example:
- very fast rendering, allowing bigger output sizes;
- easy illumination positioning;
- ability to render "3D correct" beveled surfaces, including smooth bevel surfaces by using a heuristic;
- several rendering styles that emulate different physical surface properties.

That powerful bevel effect maker offers a full plethora of graphic possibilities to design a top beveled logo easily as never before. To create metallic bevel text online, use the Top Metallic Bevel Text Effect Generator for free.

To inspire you to produce your own bevel text effects, below I show an armor text effect I created by using this new graphic software. I have chosen a damaged metallic material and I used a strong rendering style. This way, I could design an interesting logo made of a metal that looks dilapidated but yet very shiny.

Researches about hair and fur drawing

Picture to People libraries are getting more and more advanced and complicated. Since some time ago, I'm researching about new realistic techniques to render some nature structures like fur and hair.

I'm developing my own exclusive algorithms and I have already got some advances. I could already create some code able to generate interesting fur and hair patterns.

Below you can see a letter "a" rendered by using the model I already researched to produce fur. There still are a long way to a production level software to create 3D fur text effects, but the effort has been worthy so far.

My algorithms don't cheat like some desktop graphic softwares that use brushes to create this kind of effect. The piece above was drawn using thousands of vector based hair structures created from scratch in rendering pipeline.

New text generator online

I gathered the most used text makers from our traditional Online Text Effects software and created a tool much easier to use, because you have all effects to choose in a handy dashboard.

This new software has one more letter size and optional shadow removal (some users asked for this feature). Moreover, all that text generators were improved to accept optional transparent backgrounds as semi-transparent PNG images.

Below there is an example of the kind of text effect you can create by using the Online Easy Text Generator (click the image to see it in real size).

3D texts with transparent background and more

Our most famous and used online 3D text generator got even better. It received several upgrades without losing one of its most important features: ease to use.

Here I list the most important improvements:
- support to a lot of new languages (this upgrade applies to all P2P online text editors; have a look at my previous post);
- the "Font size" parameter offers the new "Very big" option;
- the number of 3D models more than doubled;
- you can save your results as images with anti-aliased transparent background (PNG files);

By using this 3D text editor you can create amazing real 3D texts in seconds with no worry about boring Math concepts. Below you can see an example of 3D text created by using the new transparent background feature (the second image shows the text already drawn over other image).

Ideas about graffiti decorations

Picture to People offers the best online graffiti text generator. It has really many interesting and advanced features to let users create the most customized and beautiful virtual graffiti effects.

Despite that software makes a great success and is used by thousands and thousands of people every month, since it was published some time ago, we have been receiving many suggestions from the community and some of them are very interesting.

Our current graffiti maker already has many configuration options, so we decided don't increase it with a new package of features. Instead of it, we started developing a totally new graffiti text generator following different paradigms (a kind of complementary tool).

Among the many things to research and develop, there is the subject of what decorations we will offer. Recently, I have been making implementations and tests to create the most impressive options.

This part is in a very preliminary phase yet, but, just to illustrate, I show bellow an example of a text decoration recently developed. Probably, in a finished graffiti work, there would be a composition of several distinct decorations.

Subpixel vector drawing with professional antialiasing

I have made a great improvement to Maccala's 2D vector based rendering engine.

Now the drawing library is able to render arbitrary curves with an outstanding precision, so the resulting antialiased drawings have an astonishing quality.

Maccala have already been using the rasterizing algorithm I researched and developed myself. Now I have improved it to draw even better curves with a thickness smaller than one, and there is an important things about it: this upgrade didn't take to a performance loss.

Most drawing algorithms just can't draw anything narrower than 1 pixel. When they need to do it, they just change the curve/shape color to a value closer to the background color, so the curve looks "less visible" - it's just a cheat. Inkscape, for example, make it this way (at least it made when I used to work with it).

My algorithm doesn't cheat you. It really can draw with a sub-pixel precision by using the selected color and with a very impressive antialiasing level. Sub-pixel curves made the right way seem thinner than the ones created by using the trick I explained above.

Below I show you a text normally rendered (filled) with a reasonably complex font. So you see the outline of the same text rendered with a thickness of 1 pixel. The next drawing is the same, but the curves have a thickness of 0.5. Finally, the last outline has just the tiny thickness of 0.25 pixel, but the quality is perfect.
