Make the font renderer randomise warp of each letter #90

Open souranild opened 4 years ago

souranild commented 4 years ago

if each letter looks slightly different, it will make it look better. maybe some photo editing library will let you warp each letter before rendering?

This will look great but it will be difficult to implement in a way that the text won't look weird. Keeping this open. Lets see what we can do

take2rohit commented 4 years ago

can u try atleast slight random warping of letters added with slight noise (salt and pepper will do ) . This will break the symmetry of letters

grunwalski commented 4 years ago

If randomising warp is too complicated, I would recommend two things:

  1. Vary the point where each line begin randomly for just a tiny bit. Just to break up the clean vertical "starting line". This will make a huge difference. And if you keep the offset small, it won't look weird.

  2. Can you set the position for ever letter separatley? Make them not appear on a perfect horizontal line, but let it be a very gentle wave line. As in 1., not much.

This would do a LOT to make it appear more natural.

This sounds like a great idea! I will have to see if it is possible.

The 2nd one won't really be possible since it will require changing styles of every letter which will be complicated
