BONESHOCKA 0 Posted July 30, 2017 Hi guys i cant seem to figure out what this 2 fonts are and i am a total noob, i barely have 2 days with the vinylmaster so i figured that maybe if i take a pic and vectorize i could make a logo, well i tried but when i zoom into the all the letter outlines they are super wavy, crooked, sonis there a way to make the outline to cut it straight and smooth? I will attach some pics so you know what im talking about, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted July 30, 2017 Yes, that is normal for some scans. That is why you ALWAYS try to find the font before creating a vector of text. Lots of "clean-up" needed on text scans. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted July 30, 2017 Here is your file with the Beyond the Mountains font laid over it....no node editing has been done. It's very close but would need some manipulating to match the original. And yes, the Mopar Logo is available in vector on "Brands of the World" website. You will have to learn how to manipulate and node edit your text & graphics or you won't get very far in vinyl cutting. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sue2 Any tips on how to seperate those capital letters and stretch them to look similar? I cant seem to find anything on YouTube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfatty500 454 Posted July 30, 2017 If you are trying to cut, ditch the PS. You need to understand Vector vs. Raster. Break the text apart, convert to curves, convert to outlines, what ever it maybe in your software, and then grab those nodes to do some manipulating of the nodes.. It take patience and practice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted July 31, 2017 Bone, what version of VM do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted July 31, 2017 As close as I can come for OPARS is Trivial Heavy. That may not be perfect but awfully close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
