whatsize

I’ve been using After Effects for a while and it has always both­ered me that there’s no easy way to know the size in pix­els of a spe­cific layer. Maybe it’s just me but I keep need­ing that infor­ma­tion for one rea­son or another and you always have to come up with sneaky ways around it. I’ve asked other After Effects users and they all have a dif­fer­ent sys­tem, although they’re all very clever, I think it’s kind of daft that the appli­ca­tion doesn’t give you that infor­ma­tion on the info win­dow for exam­ple, like good old Pho­to­shop does. So I wrote a lit­tle (very lit­tle) script to save me time in the future. It does what says on the tin.

Original onehugeeye font is back

Back in 2001, when one­huge­eye was just still a minus­cule eye I cre­ated a font based on my hand­writ­ing to be used mainly on car­toons. While I was work­ing on this new re-incarnation of the good old eye, I stum­bled upon it and thought it a nice nos­tal­gia touch to have dis­trib­ute it once again. It has no caps and the met­rics are not very sophis­ti­cated but it reads nice and it works for what it was orig­i­nally created.

If you like it, feel free to down­load it and go to town with it. If you care to share we all would like to see where the font ends up.
