|Here's a pretty cool banner converted from an image I created with a
|3-D effect for lettering on a black and blue cloudy background. I was
|amazed at how well the 3-D effects show up. The letters say Mars
|Lasar in all caps with a Terminator 2 font. (Mars Lasar is a New Age
|musician and I made a small banner for a web page (which I never got
|around to making)). But I thought I'd post it here, since it's not
|very big.
|
|The second one is inverted, and I think it actually looks better as
|far as clarity of the letters, but the 3-D effect isn't as pronounced.

|Unfortunately, what I see below is littered with what Agent thinks is
|URLs due to the "@" character. So there's a lot of areas of text with
|different colors on my end that you all probably won't see.
|
|Although @ is the most popular color for denseness, what is the next
|best character for dark or dense coloring? Would that be "#"?

'-------------------------------
A little while back I worked out a shading algorithm based on the amount of
'on' pixels in each character, and anything created with this algorithm will
show up almost perfectly in asc2pic2.exe (A solid style/converted ascii art
graphics viewer/converter <eek! mad description! :o) >)
Here is is....
