  • Text not displaying correctly / camera DOF between renderer options

    Posted by Moog Gravett on January 25, 2018 at 4:37 pm

    Hi folks,

    Got a bit of an issue that I’ve not encountered before.

    I’m placing layers of text in 3d space, nothing unusual there, but using the classic renderer, the font loses all detail.

    Classic 3D renderer

    Using the Raytrace option, the detail comes back, but then I can’t use DOF, which I shall need for the project.
    Raytraced.

    Anyone have a solution for this?

    Thanks,

    Moog

    Do you have the faux bold option turned on in the character panel?

    DUUUUHHHHHHHHHH…

    That’s it right there!
    I didn’t catch it due to the horrible buggy windows in the 2018…

    Thanks for the awesomely simple reply Michael.

    If by “buggy” you mean, it’s not immediately apparent that there is more to the panel and that you need to drag it larger, PLEASE FILE A BUG REPORT ABOUT IT! We need more people to put voice to this one.

    Mostly that, but also that I can’t even just drag it open and have to move the whole window somewhere else…sheesh!

    I’ll add a bug report right now.

    Thanks again for the help.
