RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Oh sweet, the question I was gonna ask was asked. How nifty!

Anyway, I tried that, asche, and it came out looking nothing like the actual text. Am I using the wrong font? I tried searching google for "futura lt medium" and only found pay sites. The font I tried was "futura std" "medium" 8pt smooth, and then bolded and then italicized. I'm using photoshop cs5 if that matters any. I do have a "futura lt bt" font, but it only comes in "light" and "light italic" flavors.

Also, no "ability" button on the font guide? It's got like everything else <<
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

The font I've been using is Frutiger LT Std 66 Bold Italic, and then that is also bolded as well. The size is 8 and the horizontal scale is 97%.

Also, here is the Ability button, made by asche. You'll have to resize it and place it in yourself, however.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Thats odd PMJ, its the one I used for my blanks (loaded my .OSD earlier so I could answer the above)

Anywho heres the .tff : http://www.mediafire.com/?xxijlciccc8u7s1 noticed when looking for it on my computer that its named some random letters/numbers but the actual name is correct, weird as it is :)
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Arghghghgh, manual resizing. Can I take the easy way out and ask what you've done? :x

asche: That leads only to mediafire homepage
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

The size for the Ability icon should be able to perfectly fit in a 95x25 px canvas.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Do font guides exist for neo-style cards? If so, I can has? If not, help in making a neo-style card?
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

I've made a fontguide for CMP's Neo Redux blanks, and if CMP doesn't mind, I can upload that fontguide.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

@PMJ and Gliscor: Flame Claw and Shiny Bill have both made font guides. I can also upload one of my cards in a PSD file, but both of those are pretty accurate (Flameh's a little moreso than Bill's).

If you have any questions on specifics, let me know and I'll tell ya.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Well, the font kind of worked. But it won't let me italicise... bwuh?

Thanks for the quick replies though, lol.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

If you use Photoshop, there's a tool in the "Character" window that let's you italicize...it's never not worked for me. Try that?
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

If you could upload one of yours, that'd be great. I'd like to aim for as close to perfect as possible. For my purposes it would be cool if you would upload Zorua since that has most of what I'll need.

A question, CMP: Why is the pokemon power yellow? Does it depend on the card type?
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Pretty much yes.

It's yellow in this case because there was no Neo-era Darkness Pokémon with powers, so I based it off of the e-card era Darkness Poké-body/power color.

Color breakdown...

Grass: Deep red (#850909)
Fire: Navy (#0b1958)
Water: Deep red (#850909)
Lightning: Bright red (#ef1100)
Psychic: Navy (#0e1178)
Fighting: Red (#d00c00)
Darkness: Yellow (#fffc3f)
Metal: Deep red (#6e251c)
Colorless: Bright red (#e90804)

Essentially, I just used the eye dropper tool on multiple cards with powers of the same type and used the color that appeared the most. In theory, you should be fine with using the same color for the reds and blues, but the ink used for the power name looks slightly different depending on the background color so I use different colors to represent that.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Boing, me again. I've had an idea for a mini-series in honour of this month, but I can't find BW Trainers/Supporter blanks anywhere. Anyone got some knocking around?

Thanks!
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

I think Neko made one a few pages back in this thread Yakob.

They are on my to-do list alongside the various new EX cards they keep bringing out (as well as dragon types) I'm gonna be a busy bee come next year ... lol
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Ah-hah, thanks! Dunno how I missed that.

New problem. I'm trying to create a holo effect for a card, using these instructions.

Made some low-quality BW holosheets:
[SNIP]
Multiply 50, then Burn 25, then Dodge 5.
Click to expand...


However, I can't multiply, burn and dodge the same layer? What am I doing wrong?

They're supposed to be different layers. Top holosheet is layer is Multiply 50%, the next is Burn 25, the next is Dodge 25.
 
RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

Ah. Well, I tried and failed. Will play around with this some more though.
