GUI Elements - Cartoon

Hi all, I now have a cartoony GUI elements pack on the asset store.
Asset Store link

My last one was meant for prototyping GUIs, but this one is somewhat similar in that it’s designed so that you can customize almost any element you use. It is made to be used with NGUI, and already has atlases set up for it. However it does include all the individual sprites as well so that you can use it with any GUI solution you choose.

The pack contains 3 fonts and over 120 unique sprites, including buttons, panels, sliders, icons, etc - almost all in grayscale so that they can be easily colored within Unity however you want to. Below is a (small and watermarked) screenshot of the atlas included.

Here is a demo scene with various GUI elements I put together using this pack and NGUI. This scene is also included with the package. It shows the 3 different fonts as well.

Also included with this package is of course the “master” source file used to generate all of these sprites supplied in the atlas. It’s a Photoshop file with tons of separate layers all categorized so that you can quickly assemble and customize your own sprites in the style of the pack. All of them are made with paths, so they will scale perfectly should you need them larger. This also includes custom photoshop actions to quickly generate Unity-friendly files from the massive master file.

In case its needed, here is a video showing how to use the photoshop master file and the supplied actions to create your own pieces.

I’m hoping to get some feedback or seeing what people have put together using this. Recommendations for things to add to it are also welcome. D-pad/joystick controls are definitely on the list to add in the near future.

One again, Asset Store link
Thanks!

Are you reselling somebody’s fonts? You know you can’t just take a font that you did not create and resell it/repackage.

There are a whole slew of licensing issues that you are ignoring. Even those fonts you find on free font sites don’t always extend the licensing to commercial / app development.

Here, i followed it up for you. BADBOOM font licensing info:

http://www.blambot.com/license.shtml

"All fonts © Nate Piekos. All Rights Reserved. No Blambot font may be altered, embedded or redistributed without an additional license fee. Email for details.

The free fonts are freeware for independent comic book creation and non-profit use ONLY. This excludes use by “mainstream” publishers, (Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Oni, Image, SLG, Top Cow, Wildstorm, Crossgen, TokyoPop etc.) without a license fee. Use by a “mainstream” publisher (or its employee), and use for mainstream comics, or non-comic, for-profit endeavors incurs a license fee be paid to Blambot. In Essence, this means:

· Anyone may use these fonts for non-profit projects.

· If you are a comic book self-publisher/small press publisher you may use these fonts for profit or non profit or as part of graphics printed on merchandise to support your independent comic.

· If you are an independent creator, publishing comics through a mainstream company (see above) there is a license fee.

· Any other commercial use not listed above requires a license fee, including embedding fonts within an application, or commercial redistribution."

sabba2u, when first reading that I hoped to reply matter-of-factly with a rebuttal in mind but after looking at the font closely it seems I mixed up two of the many fonts I had downloaded and decided to put in the package. Most of the fonts I’ve put in packages (mostly as a convenience so NGUI users dont have to find and make the files themselves), including Finger Paint, had come from the Google Web Fonts repo, which hosts only free and open-source fonts that may be used commercially. However I did download a few from other sites (Badaboom, as you brought up, though from urbanfonts.com not from blambot.com). Unfortunately I mixed up Blambot’s Badaboom font with the Bangers font by Vernon Adams on Google Web Fonts. They’re very similar and I must have gotten the names mixed up when bringing them in for use in Unity.

You really don’t need to copy/paste all that if you linked to it, though. Anyway, I am aware of copyrights and licenses and all that, but thanks for bringing my mistake to my attention. I’ll submit an update with the proper one shortly.

Edit: Here’s the same first panel with the Bangers font, for comparison. I haven’t changed the web demo. http://puu.sh/1v25f. Also, the update’s been submitted.
