Thanks for the heads up. The new shape designer is cool.

Shapedesigner has been in the last three versions i think This version is all about the layers 🙂

He's heading towards PS for knobs hahahahaha

Oh cool, he's done a lot of updates recently, I was using version 1.08 or something....

I don't see that the layers are particularly different? Just a different layout now. It looks better, sure, but is there any difference in terms of functionality? Oh I see there's the 'visible solo' option now....

In knobman there is a mistake when open or save a picture a file the program is closed

electrogear ·

Have you got the latest version? That happened a few versions back for me, but with the latest version that has been fixed.

Cheers,

Mike

the thing I've never understood with Knobman is - when you apply specular light it is always more dominant in the top left corner. Even when you rotate the light dir and play with the gradation there is a noticeable bias toward the top left.

well, it's still a great app, even with it's eccentricities.

Yeah that is a bit annoying. From memory, the light dir is only used for the shadowing.

But still, I love it! Good on ya g200kg 🙂

Instructions for a strip knob

Export a stitched strip from knobman and make sure you choose PNG with Alpha as the file type. Make sure you note the height and width of the frame.

Then go into SM and insert an Animated Knob (not a Bitmap knob). Click on the properties and choose "Load Animation..." and select your image file. Lastly, set the cell width and height (the cell count should adjust automatically).

thanks for your help Andrew.

That was exactly what i did but it always resulted in an image of the strip and not the framed knob. The problem was that i used an animated knob not from the SM lib. Although it seems to be an exact copy of the original one it didn't worked out with that one. After taking a "fresh" knob from the SM lib everything is fine. But i don't have a clue why... 😮
