Cool that there are changes coming to the text editor! I don’t play around with the beta versions, so I’m not sure what goodies are around the corner, but I’m looking forward to them!
One of the things I’ve been wondering about is how can I do “Text on a path” in Krita. Right now, I’d resort to doing it best I can freehand.
I know how to put text on a path, circle, etc. in Inkscape, can Krita do something similar?
See the random screenshot below as an example. I’m talking about the word “Ireland” notice how it curves in a sort of wave up and to the left?
Last I checked, the improvements on the text editor are all under the hood. From my understanding, they are rewriting the base code of it… so unfortunately there are still no nifty tools/effects with the text editor. Effects like what steve requests are still not possible. I had to render the vector text as a paint layer on mine just so I can edit it.
Soon it can!
And it gets abilities other programs will want to have then too, because they don’t have them.
Call it text on steroids if you want to, and you wouldn’t exaggerate …
I thought about learning how to wrap the text around the globe, but I’m gonna wimp out on downloading the nightly and playing with the new text editor. I have to try hard just to keep everything stable and running on my laptop! Maybe that will be a cool Optional Challenge once it’s released in the future!
@edgarej Very cool Mars theme! I saw your post on the main page… I just wanted to point out that using text is optional for this challenge so you can submit whichever version you feel best about (or both)!
@edgarej beat me to Mars, so I’ll have to look a bit further out.
Here is a concept for Uranus Cruises, the inspiration was from The Fifth Element’s cruise to Floston’s Paradise:
Lots of blending to do here, we’ll see if I decide to do more work on this to get it submission ready or just leave it as a doodle.
Fonts are hand drawn… for now.
! As usual!!!
