Playing with Styles

Here is a subtle variation on the Old Paper style I uploaded yesterday in the Request/Styles setting section. If anyone wants this newer version, I'll post it.

Straight from SketchUp

This is after increasing "Shadows" in Picasa

Please do. I like it very much.

Done! Thank you.

Here are a couple of others I was playing with.

A papyrus texture.

And the same table drawn on slate.

Styles could be uploaded if there's interest.

Thank you. I added the Slate style in the Styles section. I'll upload the Papyrus style when I get home from work.

Here's another one with the Old Paper style. I added some Screen Text using a font called Architect Bold.

This reminds me a bit of the photographed drawings from the Greene and Greene Virtual Archive. Like this detail of a drawing for a silver tray in the Blacker house.

I need to find a font closer to the lettering in this image.

Are you sure its Architect Bold Dave? I like the font you used . . I downloaded Architect Bold to try it but it looks a good bit different to your image above . . . ?

Dave R · 14 Dec 2007, 15:52

I guess I'm reasonably certain that's the name. Maybe I missed something?

Hi, I think the fonts you want are some of these:

'Greene' & 'Greene Greene' nice but pricy; or G&G not so many frills and available in a package with a Greene Ornament set.

This is not exactly it but it has some elements of the font you are looking for.

these styles are great... remind me of some FLWright dwgs... good stuff, thx.

this is the 'Architect Bold' font I found when I googled . . . . which obviously isnt the same. http://www.fontstock.net/9892/Architect-Bold.html I will try your one . . its much nicer! Why do different fonts have the same name? doh! I wonder if I can get TIG's text script to work with it . . . . .

Dave R · 19 Dec 2007, 21:07

Yes, TIG's script works with Architect Bold. I did this for him as the first thing I did with his script.
