Version 14.1.0.8, launched today, introduces the INFLATED text style.

Turning your letters into balloons is now as easy as selecting the INFLATED style with the 3rd dropdown below the textbox.

It's big fun trying this effect with different fonts. Here are a few that look spectacular:

This screenshot uses the Cubemap effect and the CubeMap.dds texture that comes with the installer.

Other new features of version 14.1.0.8:
Bevel size protection
The bevel size, as set with the BEVEL property when using the ROUND BEVEL style, is now automatically limited to prevent intersections and distortions.

So you can now play around with this property without having to worry about distorting the result.

The bevel size is also no longer fixed for the whole font: a single small detail no longer limits the bevel size for the rest of the font.

Super high quality
Choose SETTINGS > Super high quality for super high quality antialiasing.

If your are lucky to have a powerful GPU with lots of memory, render your shows in super high quality!

On an average machine:
-edit in normal quality
-export as video in high quality
-export as picture in super high quality

Normalize numerals
When this checkbox in the MEDIA > Change font... dialog is marked, the numerals (0123456789) all have the exact same width. This way your text and scroller layers no longer jump when using the time and counter tags:

Inflate effect
Next to the inflate text style, version 14.1.0.8 also introduces the Inflate effect. This blows up your layer in a less advanced way, but can be applied to all layer types, including the model layer. Try it with Bix!

The new inflate effect can be found in the Effects/Special folder.
