Stephen - TGF Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I much appreciate the shape tools we have and they get regular use from me but the most blatant omission is a hex tool. Please... pretty please... And whilst we are on the topic, you tease me with a heart tool (and diamond) but you don't give me a clubs tool or spades tool? I'm willing to guess those would get more use from users than the tear tool. And as a game designer I'd be eternally grateful, honestly I would.

Aammppaa Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I understand that a specific tool might offer convenience, but is there any reason you can't use the Polygon tool and set it to 6 sides? And for the other 2 suits, they are standard Unicode characters, so just pick a font you like. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_cards_in_Unicode Stephen - TGF 1 Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get plenty of diamonds in fonts but we have a diamond shape tool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aammppaa Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 You could make Assets for your suits, and just drag them from the Asset Panel onto the page... It's what I do.

I have never used the assets panel. So you are saying create my own graphically and then save them as assets. What format do assets get saved as, regular image file types?
