  Jiggling, Wobbling, Roobarb & Custard style text

  Posted by Micksimus on March 7, 2006 at 12:36 pm

  I have a client who wants me to recreate the jiggling, wobbling, cartoon style of Roobarb and custard for the captions in their latest commercial.

  See this link for reference: https://80scartoons.co.uk/roobarb.php#images

  So far I’ve been playing with the jitter effect on path text and I’m getting pretty close but the client is being pedantic and REALLY wants the same hand-drawn, amateurish style without it actually being hand-drawn and amateurish.

  Does anyone have any hints, guides, tips, tutorials that could help?

  Cheers

  Have you tried roughen edges ?
  If you up the scale, you can get it to softly jiggle the depth of the stroke around your text, combined with the right font, and a bit of position/scale jiggle (path text or tex-abimators) and you’re halfway there.

  Drop by broadcastGEMs and head on to the Freebies page. Item number 5, Text Animation presets has a preset that should do the trick for you.
