Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 You wish to create a heart shaped icon or similar with a 3d look? If you have BoltBaits Selection Tools installed ( viewtopic.php?p=205727#p205727) Try this: Select Primary color of your choice Select texttool Select font = Webdings with a large font size Click on the canvas where you want the icon Hold the ALT key down & type 0089, release Alt key & up pops a heart. Select the wand tool Click on the heart shape and then choose Effects >> Selection>> Bevel Selection Color the highlights & lowlights to your choice Additional "depth" might be added by adding a dropshadow or shadow. Is that the kind of thing you were looking for?

worldnewser Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oma created a tut for making hearts a few days ago. It's fairly simple too :wink: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=28826 Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Try a capital Y in Webdings. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I haven't got a heart icon thats listed on the fonts just a shape that looks like a shield plus I hold the ALT key and nothing comes up on the canvas Where am I going wrong You need to select the font Webdings from the drop down list when the text tool is selected. Click on the canvas to select the location, then press (& hold down) the alt key while typing 0089 (two zeroes and an 8 and a 9, typed in sucession). Then release the Alt key. If you still have trouble, download the WhichSymbol+ plugin (link in my signature). It makes viewing and inserting symbols and characters a little easier. @ worldnewser : the link you supplied does not exist :?: Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Can you type in text at all? If you can you're halfway there! Are you able to change the font using the dropdown list of font names? If you can, check that the name "Webdings" appears in the list and select that. Click on your canvas where you want the text to be placed. If you can select Webdings, either SHIFT+y or ALT+0089 should generate the desired character. The only other problems I can think of might be that you're typing onto a layer that is obscured by another (hiding the results) or that you're typing using a color that is the same as the background (similarly obsuring the results).

lorri Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes I'm able to do those the things but I can't get the heart icon. It's because I don't have that pacific icon on that list. I also downloaded a icon plug in from here, I done the necessaries but also no heart symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorri Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Ego I have found the heart symbol. Thank you very much for your help also the others too. I'm a happier woman now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 You're welcome! Did you end up using the plugin or the text tool?

lorri Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yes I did but I didn't type this mumber in (0089) instead I put this mumber in (89) then it came up on the canvas. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Capital Y would have been easier. :-P Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

HELEN Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 @Madjik: That looks really neat! @lorri: OR you can always draw half of a curve and "Mirror" the other half by using this plugin: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=27897 I know most people can't draw what's on the right so perfectly as what's on the left side. That's what I use for symmetrical shapes and it works wonders.

lorri Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 I had a look on photoshop and it was shown with the lines how it's done. I will use both of them plus I can't download the mirror plug in I need a DLL repear on the PC which I haven't got. Thanks for the info.
