Keeping Line Width In Multiple Files The Same
Posted: Wed May 07, 2014 3:56 pm
I'm hoping that some of the AS Gurus will chime in here and share their tips & techniques for keeping an appearance of a uniform line width in artwork. Especially when you are creating several files of characters, props, scenery, etc. that you plan to import together.
Also, here is an issue that I ran into today that totally baffles me. Yesterday I made a police station. It's broken up into about 20 layers. All of the artwork was created with a line width of 2. Today I opened the file, then I imported a subway train and platform that I had made last year. The line widths from the old file were much wider than the police station, so I went through all the layers of the subway & platform reset all the lines to a width of 2 (that took about 15 minutes). All of the artwork looked really good together.
Then I started working on some more scenery today, keeping all my line widths at 2. But when I rendered a frame, I noticed that the artwork from today had a bit of a thicker look. I checked the previous artwork (police station, subway & platform), all of it now had a Line Width of 1.35. That's about 30 to 35 layers of artwork that somehow changed all of their line widths.
I would love to know how this happened.
