Awakening ... A CF7 font based on The Force Awakens
« on: November 28, 2014, 12:48:48 PM »
Video demo:

Awakening - YouTube


This should be the final version.  I decided to go back to some of the roots for making saber sounds and reworked most of the font.

******************
As I mentioned in LordBlako's thread ( The Force Awakens - Sith Saber Font )he had a great idea of reversing the poweron and using it as the poweroff effect.  As he said to me, sometimes the most obvious things are hard to see LOL.  I crafted my own version and asked him if he minded if I release it as an alternate file for the font.  He didn't and so I am :D

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40373136/Fonts/Awakening/AlternateFiles/poweroff.zip

I told you I should steal that idea :D  I love his version too though, and I look forward to hearing other interpretations!

If you're reading this and downloading the file, I probably don't need to tell you what to do with it :)  However, if there are any questions use that little PM feature and ask away.

Thanks!

Is this a new font you're making or are you doing a font on the 2 sec clip from the trailer? The saber in that 2 sec was cool no doubt but I'm gonna wait till there is more substance.... At least more that 2 or 3 sec.

Having heard the early mixes, it is 'inspired' by the audio AND visuals of the blade you see in that clip. So while yeah, it's not a direct 'rip' from the movie, it's recognizable as being what it is. A lot can be inferred by that clip. Plus, it's a Nightstorm font, so you know its going to be a quality :D

Thanks Starkiller.  No pressure ;)

It is a new font I'm making but as stated it was inspired by the clip.  I really liked the look of the blade and the activation effect.  It gave me some ideas. Certainly, no one can create a "movie accurate" version of this font until we have a movie to source it from  :D

And of course, there's always room for different interpretations.

You are the man.
Didn't think you'd have this on day 1 of the trailer release. Quality work! Sounds awesome.

I'm going to be doing some new swing effects for it.  Based off of the original saber swing concepts.  That's in progress.  I'll probably put up another demo.

Great font :)
I love the poweron, hum, swing sounds

Haha... Well, it's a fool's errand, boy. The Emperor's army is infinite. You'll eventually be killed... or worse... and nothing will have changed.
