[QUOTE=psientist;42008268]the animations and cinematography are good and all... but i think what i'm actually most interested in with this project is the rendering method because the quality here is just remarkable. And apparently that is all thanks to you. I take it there is a "long winded" tutorial or something somewhere? I NEED to check it out.[/QUOTE] Hey sorry I didn't see your comment, here's my long-winded tutorial: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1207569[/url]

[QUOTE=NassimO PotatO;42015507]This TF2 font is already used in game in the HUD elements and was created for that; [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/List_of_companies"]do you see any textures (by textures i mean posters and trademarks made by Valve) in-game that use this font?[/URL] Even for a small logo that you don't even see directly on the TF2's Mac trailer, Valve used a pretty nice ass font: [IMG]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/5/53/Jobbs_Orchards.png?t=20111126125338[/IMG] Sure you can use it but for things more important like titles in a video or such. A handwritted plan could be cool, since the soldier already put his name on the plan like that. Islamic calligraphy heh? Of course not, but using a cheap-ass and ugly font like Arial is meh imo. [URL="http://www.dafont.com/fr/highway-gothic.font?text=ROCK+SLIDE+AREA"]How 'bout using the official font of the U.S. roadsigns mmm?[/URL] Once again, sorry to be annoying but i just want to be constructive, i'm a graphic designer and when i see things like that, it just make me sad cause picking a ugly font even for a shot of 1 second, everyone can do it. But making the small details more sexy and more "unique" by selecting some-well mades (and the rights) typefaces (or by writing the words by hand) is something more difficult.[/QUOTE] The plan was obviously not hand-drawn, it had the same style as HUD killicons, and in that context the font fits extremely well. It doesn't make much sense and the whole texture could be overhauled to be hand-drawn blueprints, but hey, it already works much like the HUD does - one quick glance and you get all the information you need. Hand-drawn hieroglyphs wouldn't work that well. About the sign - I watch the video 30 times a day every day since it came out, and if it weren't for you pointing out it was Arial I would never know. This seems more like professional deformation to me, see a cheap font daily a thousand times and you instantly recognize it anywhere. It didn't ruin the experience for me in the slightest.

I just said that the soldier's name is handwritten and it would have been better and funnier if the soldier continues it that way. "Hand-drawn hieroglyphs wouldn't work that well" ?
