91JLovesDisney Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi! I'm brand new and created an account because I've been trying to work out something. I'm trying to create a kind of cross-stitched text look. Now when I say cross-stitched, I don't want it to look like small stitches, I literally just want it to look like pixel art-text. When I try to use "Pixelate" it creates all kinds of transparent pixels to try to blend the image a bit better, but I don't want that - all I want is for it to pixel-art my text. Does that make sense? :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudSilence Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 @91JLovesDisney Is your goal to get more arcade-like text? (similar to the text that is used in minecraft's chat) If you are, i point you towards just finding a pixelated font rather than using pdn... It is definitely possible using PDN but just finding a font is much easier (if you cant find one, try downloading a font, i like to use https://dafont.com/ ) Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91JLovesDisney Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) No actually. I have a font I want to use, I just need it pixelated - this is kinda weird, but I'm going for an embroidered look (Specifically the cross stitched signs from Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World) I know, a bit specific. I've looked at references and it basically just looks like pixel art. Edited September 4, 2020 by 91JLovesDisney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudSilence Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 @91JLovesDisney Could you send a picture of what you are trying to achieve? Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudSilence Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Are you trying to do this? I simply just put text on a new layer, pixelated it, and used Boltbait's Transparency Plugin to get rid of that grey..

91JLovesDisney Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Actually, hold on a second haha. I just tried this, and although it works, there's one problem that I don't understand Why are the "l"s not the same? Shouldn't they be the same?

LoudSilence Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Well the positioning of the letters are in different places, so that it pixelates differently, you can just delete one of the L's and copy and paste the other one if you want them to be the same.. @91JLovesDisney 1 Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudSilence Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Also, when using a big font, i recommend to put spaces between letters so they don't merge (not all fonts though, just the thicker ones) 1 Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
