Has anyone made an original, from scratch, saber font. Not one captured from the games, movies, etc. Similar to this article here. http://www.dblondin.com/071807.html
The author was at least familiar with the crystal focus. Trying to find a font like that, a full recreation, not a capture. Anyone know of any?
EDIT: He made a font!!! See below
Sure several were made like that. The person was even mentioned in the article, along with the Crystal Focus board. If you have been in the community for a while, you would better know him on FX as NOVASTAR. Some fonts like that are some of my favorites, such as Satori Zen, and Elemental Ice, which are ones he did ages ago.
Thanks. I am looking for a full recreation of the lightsaber sounds. I want them to sound like the movies, just not captured from the movies, games, etc. The non-star wars one's are interesting, but that's not what I am looking for. Understand what I am getting at?
I'm sure you already know about saberfont.com, but you might go over there and try to contact the more prolific font makers. Novastar or one of the others may have already created what you're looking for. Many of those fonts include sound capture from Star Wars media, but I'm sure there are a few that are made from scratch.
Any more like these that are completely original, even if they are outside the SW universe?Quote:

So I got in touch with the Author of the article here Lightsaber Sound Cookbook
I encouraged him to make an actual saber font and he did. These sounds are an original creation by him. They were not sourced from the movies or games. They do reproduce the lightsaber sound well. I plan on using it in all my future sabers
He called it swarm. Check it out

He also made some killer menu sounds. I was impressed for sure.
That font is already posted/on sale on SaberFont.com .... just as an FYI :)
Yeah it is. I am glad he shared it with the saber world. He did a great job on swarm.Quote:

Can anyone tell me how a font typically comes? Mp3? Wav? and what kind of bitrate etc?
EDIT: Nevermind, improved my google-fu. It varies, but frequently 16bit, mono, and some kind of compression, often in a video format.
your first stop should be plecter labs...read/follow what he has posted over there about making fonts
then do a search..
