Shading around lettering/SVGs - having trouble importing.

[tonystarks131]

Similar to what is seen here:



The "RAYBRIG" decal as well as the Honda and Mobil ones have a shadowed outline that fades. I can recreate it in Inkscape, however when I import it into the game it is just a solid black outline.

Is there a way around this?

There's not an easy way to do it properly - as an easy fix, I'd just duplicate the Honda / Raybrig logos, fill them black, turn the opacity right down, and offset them across and down by a few pixels... then repeat the process with even lower opacity.

^ layering transparent decals makes parts where they overlay more opaque tho. I wish there was a setting to turn this off

Thanks for the advice. What I have ended up doing was creating multiple offsets in Inkscape so the gradient is more consistent and there isn't the overlap.







This is with 3 offsets as I was testing it out - I'll end up using 5 or 6 so the transition between layers isn't so obvious.

Thanks again.
