Funny. Personally, I find it doesn't work well on thin structures, like your letter "A" there, especially if these are meant to be small-scale. A thin structure like that you'd render with a few continuous chalk strokes. However, if the letter was huge, then the hatching approach to rendering it would make sense. It really depends on the sense of scale you want to convey.

Makes me ponder whether this filter should really have two source inputs -- One for hatching/contours (as currently implemented) and one for outlines (new source input).



Here's a reference image of what I'm talking about:

This is awesome. I was looking for a realistic chalk based filter. This is it. I agree that the only improvement that it needs is how it works with fonts that require one stroke. But love, love, love this! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, Dilla!

My pleasure.

Besides, I can't be complaining about how these forums have died down -- and about people no longer sharing the Good Stuffâ„¢ -- and then fail to do something about it, eh?

Hey Guys, I just purchased Filter Forge and love the Chalk-a-Dilla, However; I am stuck here How did you make this effect to work on an image?

Thanks I will try that ThreeDee, Cool name by the way "ThreeDee" I wish I thought of that . Anyways we live in a world of fast thinkers.

Cheers
