A new 3D text software is coming

Sorry for so few posts, but I'm really very busy. I need to develop new advanced graphic tools for you.

I'm still working on my new 3D renderer and I'm optimizing for text rendering. It's based on global illumination algorithms and will be able to create very convincing solid shapes.

Currently I'm trying to get effective anti-aliasing techniques that don't decrease the performance too much.

After finishing the renderer, I need to figure out how to make an interface to give you a nice control over the 3D transformations to apply, but without being too hard to use.

Below I show you one more teaser text I created by using this new 3D software.

3D Text renderer with global illumination

I'm not having time to post frequently. Moreover, I usually like to post when I have a screenshot or teaser image to show.

I'm working very hard (as always) to finish my 3D text renderer that is based on global illumination algorithms. I never get tired of saying this kind of software generates very interesting soft shadows. It helps a lot to get more realistic results.

Well, let me get back to my arduous software development. Anyway, I post here a sample image of what is coming.

Creating professional light text effects

After a long and very hard work, I finally released Picture to People newest online tool: it's an astonishing powerful set of renderers focused on drawing light text effects.

I have been talking about this for a long time, but my first light drawing software was not as general as I would like and had low performance. This last undesired property made it unsuitable to be used online.

Since kind of a year ago, I started making new researches to be able to redevelop my light drawing engine. This work was very worthy, so I got a much more powerful and faster model. This way, I was able to develop a big list of light rendereres and I used them to make available more than 170 light text effects.

This new feature has a catalog page, just like our general text
generator. It's called Light Text Catalog. Since most of these effects are hard to be really understood in a very small example (like just a letter "a"), this new catalog have better examples. I'm sure they will be useful to all users.

I hope soon I can post some light effect tuturials that use this new exciting software at our blob about text effects. The world of light text effects will never be the same again.

Below there are two new samples of what you can get very easily by using this new astonishing online graphic tool.

3D Texts with global illumination

I'm still developing my 3D renderer based on global illumination. It's already in alpha test phase. Currently I'm correcting some minor bugs e trying to make several performance optimizations.

This kind of software can generate nice soft shadows, what it's an interesting difference when compared to my first 3D text maker. Beside that, I'm testing other interesting things: I'm evaluating the possibility to offer a different interface paradigm where you have more control over the 3D model configuration. The drawback is a more complex and less intuitive set of parameters.

Below there is a teaser image that was already generated using my new 3D software (click to enlarge). It will possibly be released in the early months of 2012.

The best light text effects ever

If you are used to create some pictures by using your computer, probably you know that creating light effects usually is not a very easy task, mainly if you try to get something really beautiful or innovative.

I'm finishing the development of a new tool totally focused on creating amazing light text effects. As usual for Picture to People softwares, you will not need to have design skill to generate great results with no effort.

After the big success of our generic text effects renderer, this new tool will take our project even more ahead of competitors. We are best and biggest online provider of professional text effects.

Below I show you two teaser images about what is coming, hopefully this year yet. Click a image for a full size viewing.

Cartoonize your photos

It was never so easy to transform your photos in beautiful detailed cartoon style drawings. I took some months studying and researching to develop the Photo Cartoon software, but the results are really worthy.

I would like to show you another example about what can be made using it. You can generate smart smooth regions controlling the gradient options and detailed strokes lines by setting the contour interface items (the contour lines can be softer if you desire).

Below you see a very detailed photo used as input and two cartoon images created using my renderer. The first one has more well defined filling regions and very delicate contours. The second example has very large smoothed regions and smartly selected contours lines. Both of them preserve the original details very well.

Turning a photo into cartoon

It has been several months since I published the last graphic tool to generate photo effects. Recently I had been totally focused on text effects.

I have just released the best program to turn photos and complex images into cartoon style drawings. This powerful renderer lets you control how colors, gradients and contours should be used to generate the result you really want.

Below I show you an example of a photo transformed into a cartoon using the default renderer configuration. Realize the advanced use of gradients and contours e how the important details are kept. Click the image to view in full size.



This new tool is easy to use. You just need to read the tips and spend some time practicing. Try right now our Photo Cartoon software.

Inspiration: the best graffiti text effects

Picture to People site has a page called The Best Graffiti Text Effects. It's a nice place to you see many amazing samples of what our Graffiti Text tool can make.

Using a so powerful software can be a little tricky, so it could be important to read the good tips at the renderer page. There are many options to configure if you want, but you can learn them in few time if you follow that suggestions. Furthermore, I hope soon I can post some tutorials about graffiti effects at the blog about text effects.

Feel inspired by so many good graffiti text examples and start creating your own graffiti right now! You can get astonishing realistic 3D effects.

Realistic graffiti text effects

I have already released the newest Picture to People online tool. It's the most professional software ever created to generate graffiti texts. You can get astonishing realistic results. It's like if you had really painted the graffiti on that walls in real life.

Some of the features that make this renderer able to generate astonishing realistic images are:
- ability to deal with three separated painting layer sets: back (optional), middle (optional) and front (the graffiti text itself);
- several drawing styles for each layer set;
- a list of fonts that are really suitable for graffiti drawing;
- several professional 3D text models with deepness setting;
- total control of color using;
- advanced gradient options;
- ability to draw the graffiti text over a background if desired;
- four styles of spatial fitting over the back surface with advanced configuration;
- a very big list of great backgrounds to choose from.

Below there are two examples about what this amazing tools can create. The first image is a graffiti text without background and the second one shows a graffiti text drawn over a back surface. Realize how the graffiti drawing lays on the surface curves in the last image.

Professional text effects

Picture to People offers many graphic tools to create professional results. Despite I usually make them as easy and direct as possible, some of them are not trivial.

The project has several text effects and generators, so there are many tips and tricks to use them the best way. Smart users can get astonishing results as you can see at our page that shows samples about the best text effects.

If you are interested about getting great graphic texts, you could like to read my blog about text effects tips and tutorials. It's a good idea to subscribe to its RSS too. There you will learn step by step how to create results like these ones shown below. It's fast, easy and requires no design skills. Each image links to the related tutorial.
