Cher pour ce que c'est....
Le principe est pas mal, mais mis a part le fait d'avoir des lettres toutes faites, on ne peut rien faire avec ces lettres. une seule face. de plus, j'ai contacté directement le vendeur, et même pas un message en retour. il prend l'argent et basta plus rien. voila les deux étoiles. Achetez des lettres toutes faites mais ne dépensez pas votre argent pour cette machine.
Dommage, dépense inutile.
l'idée était bonne mais ; les lettres ne sont qu' en majuscule , une seule face , texturées en planar ,tout juste bon a écrire des mots sans possibilité de customiser a son gout ,on pourrait tout autant acheter un alphabet tout fait pour cet usage ... trop cher pour ce que c'est !
ALL CAPS?
does this thing type in all caps? I am beginning to notice most of the ads for additional fonts are done in caps. however... on the item itself, the fonts are shown using both upper and lower case.. however there doesn't seem to be an option to activate lower case at least I haven't figured that out yet. Typing a word using Edwardian script in all caps doesn't look nice.
Convenient for the lazy or unexpected
The system works great and is easy to use. Really can't say nothing bad about it. The LOD on the fonts is decent, included fonts are more than enough but is great to know there's a lot more options. I personally like that you got real-time preview and don't need to look for individual letters on inventory, position them and modify them... the system does all that.
There is one problem tho, it just disappeared from my inventory for some reason after some time of having it and i cant seem to find a way to redeliver it. Leaving this review as proof i did purchased it, with the hope will be redelivered.
It works well, but...
The machine itself works great, it does what it should. There are some functionality issues on the keyboard that I would expect something costing over 2k to have. Like a Return button to start a new line, Caps Lock, and a functioning font size adjuster. Yes I know once the sign is finalized I can resize the whole thing or individual letters by hand. However it would be faster if I could adjust the size on the device. It doesn't do anything when I was clicking the - on the Font Size button, the font cannot be made smaller than the default.
The letters themselves are constructed to be high quality, they don't distort when you cam out. But I was quite upset to discover they have only 1 face! Most of the mesh alphabets I have bought in the past had separate faces, so you can texture the front and sides differently, to make them stand out. And lastly the land impact of the letters was too high. I have created mesh, I know sometimes you have to balance quality with a good LOD. These appear to have a very high LOD, which is indeed good, but when you link 20 of them together it only decreases the total land impact by a little. So larger signs would not be ideal, which is what I needed this for in the first place!
If you have tons of extra prims, and you don't mind a 10-20 character sign costing 16 LI, and you need several of these all over your shop, then by all means, buy this. If you are, instead, looking for 3D signs with low LI, than this is not a good option for you.
I'm not sure what criteria you used to determine the price, after using this, I wouldn't charge more than 1000L for it.
I'm not frustrated enough to delete it and mark it as a loss. It is useful and I will find ways to utilize it, even with its issues.
Great !
its soo easy to use! and you can add more and more fonts! Love it!
