Shatter effect for 3d text: jagged edges!
by Nate Prophet on Oct 8, 2008 at 9:48:11 pm

Hi, first post here!

Does anyone know why I'm getting these jagged edges when using the shatter effect to extrude text? I followed the creative cow video and my preview/layer settings are on full quality (and these jaggies are showing up in the output as well...)

Thanks,
-Nate

I've done this many times and not seen the artifacts you're seeing.
Full rez and high quality are relative to the size of the source and pixel dimensions of the output but there are limitations to Shatter's ability to transpose vectors into particles. I'm going to suggest, without seeing your artwork, that you're scaling it up too far.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."

oh i know what it is, your stretching the effect size from a small font size, instead, you should use a big font and stretch it less.

could it be an aspect ratio issue ?
