I am in awe of the @ bricky_vl creation of this watch and - having just begun working in WFD - I offer this modest effort in a different colour to compliment his exquisite work…

Hi,
you’re on a rampage. This looks great. I really like the previous watch as well.

Nice one doubledad! :+1: As you said, this face is a stunner and the blue colour makes it easier to read. Works well on my Kospet hope with standard launcher…and, saving the best till last…it doesn’t have a Moon phase feature! :crazy_face::woozy_face::rofl: Cheers, Doons

P.S. A big thank you to @bricky_vl for the original face. :+1:

Um, I hope you have his permission. You really need to stop doing this.

Hey Louis, what do you mean by I hope you have his permission - permission for what?:flushed:

For altering someone else’s watchface without asking them first. I don’t want you to get in trouble on here. :wink:

I modeled it after the IWC watch I found online and didn’t “alter” the @ bricky_vl version… Didn’t even see his until I went to post mine and a “similar posting” was called to my attention.

P.S. I did it in WFD from scratch

Oh OK. I misread your introduction. Sorry about that, chief. How do you like WFD so far?

Wish I had switched sooner and I thank you again for encouraging me to do so…

I am glad! Try this… First change the background default rectangular layer color present on the startup of WFD to a different color… for instance pale green.

  1. Make a hand, a simple one will do. Use the default one and choose auto-rotation as seconds for this example.
  2. Emboss the hand, not too high, 5 is a good height.
  3. Click on the animations tab and choose “create animated layer by changing light angle”.
  4. Enter 120 as number of images and wait until a GIF layer appears in the layers window.
  5. Disable the hand layer that you previously created by right clicking on it and choosing disable.
  6. Click on the GIF layer and enter these values… these will apply to a second hand. The values will be different for hours, minutes etc…
    Autorotation… second
    Framerate… 2
    Framerate unit… frames per second

Click on the preview movements box and watch the highlight move around the hand as it rotates!

To make the shadow…

You can enable the hand layer now and delete the emboss that you used on it. Set auto-rotation to seconds. Change the hand layer color to black, lower the opacity to .65, and add a blur effect to it. 14 is good for this example. Now offset the hand from the GIF. You want to be on the opposite side of the GIF highlight. For this example something like Center x 190, Center y 190 is good.

Again, check preview and enjoy the 3 dimensional goodness that WFD can provide!!!:grinning:

P.S. Sometimes you need to tweak the emboss softness and height to remove the stepping artifacts on the hand before you create the GIF. I have reworked hands for HOURS sometimes experimenting with different values to create a smooth, realistic hand! GOOD LUCK!
