are the fonts that do work without this "jumpy" movement called in a special way?
i.e., if i want small fonts that work without antialiasing, i look for "pixel fonts" ... is there a kind of a "label" that the fonts that don't move, too?
I believe they're called 'monospaced' fonts.
For pixelfonts you could try http://www.minifonts.com/

btw.
Check your email. :wink:

Hi Guys,

I work with Adobe Flash and would like to add to my "arsenal" of button, slider and knob components. The items created with Knobman look FANTASTIC.

Is anyone familiar with the best way to use Knobman creations in Flash? Looking at the knobs and sliders included in Flash, I believe the individual layer graphics are assembled into composite movie clips and controlled from there. If this is the path I should follow, is there a way to export the individual layers of a Knobman button into Flash and assemble it there?

All advice and assistance appreciated!!

Previously my knobs was built with flash, today 100% with KnobMan :)
There is many way to use it into Flash depending of you flash knowledge.

But the basic way :
With KnobMan you can export individual frame.
With flash you can import the individuals pictures.
It's not possible to do simplest :)

With KnobMan you can export individual frame.
I'm able to export the individual images making up the knob ... but I need to eliminate the background on each. Can I do this in Knobman???

Post

yes. use png with alphalayering while rendering the individual frames. the background is ignored then ...

g200kg I don't know if this have been requested but it would be wonderful is I could create a color template that I could save for the picker. When I am working on a larger project is very difficult to carry the same palette through all the objects that I am using. This is very important to maintain consistency between the various graphics…for me at least.

A request. Please let me know what you guys think of it as I am only a graphic newb.

Make the preview layer background "transparent checkered" (a la photoshop) instead of solid gray.

The reason being that if your graphic is the same color as the solid background yo don't see it. I don't know how it is done exactly in Photoshop but it seems to me that artists are always able to see their colors on the "invisible" background.

Also would it be possible to have a scrollbar on the tools side? the reason being if I expand all the tools (layout, colors, etc...) it doesn't all fit vertically on my screen and there is no vertical scrollbar.


Thanks.

a background layer like that would be nice. I like this feature in PHS since I can configure it as well. You could always make a .bmp of it and place in as a layer till you are ready to export the animation, I have done this 8)

Hi

I would have 3 request for Knobman/skinman :

- a "library tab", where you could specify 2 or 3 favourites folders, for a quicker access (for example, one for all the knobs, another one for the faders, etc. Or on on your "C" drive, and another one on another drive, etc).
Image

- a "colour picker" tool, so you could copy/paste/duplicate a colour, even if you don't know the #089888 hex name ;
Image

- a cropper/resizer tool, so i could crop a too big skin, or add some additional space where i want (on the left, on the upper part, etc), if i need another row of knobs ;

hey - here's a couple things i've been mulling lately...

(BTW - thanks again for knobman... my guis can be pretty now.)

i want to be able to make a layer that is a hole. (like in looney tunes) - rectangle, ellipse should be fine... the idea i had was be able to define the layer depth of the hole... and be able to do embossing on the edges of the hole... is this possible? if it's too weird, don't worry. it's just an idea because sometimes i can't get the bit to look like it's "in a hole"


the other thing is i couldn't get "use image as background" to work... i'm woorking on another x/y pad and i wanted to be able to design the puck on the pad, without exporting the puck layer, and then cropping it in gimp.

Post

is there a mac knob maker? i would really love to make my own knobs for a reaktor patch i'm building but it seems these are all for windows...
