Glass tube images effects

if you don’t want image based, you could always just make your own font with just the 10 characters…

Thing about the image rout is we can have them Reversed and have a flicker behind them. I have drawn a few bits but never my own Font. I must say I am being drawn that way. I was hoping to concentrate on basic rendering this year. Nearly half way through and still making OLED Specials.

@russellcresser I used original thickness from picture above.
I added 2 different lume effect - lume 1 and lume 2 so using lume 1 you can add a little thickness.

Here is a previev explained what does all files contain:

I cant add .zip file here so will add all pictures here in another post

Sort of loosely based on these - Amazon.com

Individual number files are now available in the resources section - Nixie number set and there’s a link to the Affinity Designer file there too if anyone wants to mess around with it some more.

[updated - provided individual files and links]

I got the itch a couple of years ago to do a Nixie watch face. I think I used Roboto Thin font for it. It’s OK but nothing to write home to mother about. :grin:

Very nice, I like the minimalistic style.
I am still tweaking mine. Even made me a simple font. This time seems I have bitten more than I can chew fast :slight_smile:

I have maybe rushed this one a bit using a font with glow.
Thanks to @richiebee for the tube template image.
Still have one face with digits images to finish :slight_smile:

Love it RixMix NixMix . It makes it seem like it is all just done for Fun and you are just Enjoying yourself . I love the Valve check on Wake . Beautiful lighting balance . PS i quite liked the slightly off screen Indicator . It is good to Nod towards Square watches . One day they will all be that shape .

Yes, it was just for fun to make and see. Only the font was a bit cumbersome to create, using 5 different free tools, to get from dwg glyph trough svg and otf to final ttf.
