  • I love this tutorial, it's what I needed but I forgot who did it. You know some guy has copied this right? He should have referred to you.

  • @Chaoscat47 Hey thanks! Yeah, it would be nice for techtonicc to mention my video, but I don't "own" the techniques used here, so he certainly doesn't have to.  Besides, I guess it is kind of cool that my ideas can reach more people through his videos.

  • When I download the fonts they dont show up in GIMP and when I try extracting the files from the folder it says that it doesnt exist any suggestions on how I can fix that?

  • @Monk3yB01 What operating system are you using? Did you follow the directions on dafont's FAQ page?

  • @monsoonami

    can you do a rainbow gradient overlay and make it glow still?

  • @theREALlucky7s Well yeah, I guess you could just duplicate the gradient overlay, blur it, and set it to screen/addition/etc.

  • what version are you using

  • nice video

  • @Monk3yB01 I had this problem. hit the refresh button on the text window :)

  • @monsoonami Ok. :D

  • @8jekil sorry, my mistake i had selected grow instead shrink :P

  • why when i reorder the layer, the text becomes too glow, like white ... i see the color under the white text, but it's really too white. Thanks for your time

  • Great tutorial! Thank you!
