hmmmm where did the spider go? :p

Plague 8th July 2002 23:36

hehe, yea I was wondering that myself ;)
Is the fuse, that the spider is holding, gonna be used for what it was supposed before?

I mean, now with this remote containing about all the neccesary stuff...

Spiders are creepy, but I still like 'em, except for that one I almost drank.. Okay, well I just noticed from one of the vids which I watch before going to bed:) that the remote has a longer vis on it. I'm assuming on for the right channel and one for the left, me like. I still love that effect when you switch between the songticker and the visulization, and I would like to know how you accieved it, is it all Nem's super l33t coding skills or two of Neko's beautiful little animations?

Neko 9th July 2002 13:54

a combination of the 2, 13 framed animation :)

FlameNFalcon 9th July 2002 14:14

yes me too, i think the animation of it switching from song to vis is absolutely beautiful

Tomato Face 10th July 2002 03:37

Ohh yeah, I have more questions, thats right, yeah. Okay, here it is. Is the button that is used to change between the VS and the song info going to stay how it is, because it is currently covering up the first few bands of the left vis. I think it would be nice to have it partialy alpha blended just when the vis is running behind it, that way you can still use the button and have it in place with the song info but you will be able to see the who vis, which is a little pet peave of mine.

FlameNFalcon 10th July 2002 04:30

one word, two syllables..

FLAWLESS

Tomato Face 10th July 2002 04:31

Thats beautiful Nem. I can't wait to see it running on my own pc.

Windmills 10th July 2002 11:00

Neko. Please can you work faster? We all are burning, we want ya spider to live in our PC. Even for not too long. It depends on you. WANT TO SEE IT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

YtseJam 10th July 2002 11:14

Windmills, is lameness your middle name?
In case you didn't know this, you should never push an artist to finish his work in such a blunt way, be nice. Several artists have already left the scene(not talking about the skining scene, but it's part of it) because of people who act like you.

Stop.

Atmo 10th July 2002 11:20

Would you rather neko rush it just so you can get it quicker, or would you prefer he takes his time and makes a perfect skin windmills??

Windmills 10th July 2002 11:52

Ok, maybe pation is not my coolest side. I'll not push him anymore. But NEKO, can you tell us a near dates of pre-beta version. Thread is 8-s long and no beta, that's bad. You have sad that you are using 3d max, can you give me a max file?

Tomato Face 10th July 2002 12:16

Windmills please relax. That last post was one of the hardest ones I've ever had to read and I'd ask that you please edit it, Also I think you're going to have to have a little patience this time. And it's not like there arn't two movies and a boat load of ss for you to drool over until this is out, which should be in a little under two weeks. Less time in development than many other skins, including Epsilux the new version of Probe and the full version of Auriga.

Windmills 10th July 2002 12:25

I understand that less time means more bugs, but alpha versions does not mean a full workable thing. It's just for relaxation, small thing that will make waiting easyer. Alpha version is made for showing people graphics, and some animations. I'm not asking too many, just to go little faster.

Tomato Face 10th July 2002 13:10

I suggest you consider http://www.naoneo.com/Tmp/remote.avi to be an alpha version as it shows people graphics and a little animation. I'm just saying this because they probably, like most skinners, don't want to release it before it is done, so they wont.

Adil 10th July 2002 13:18

windmills, relax man.
Spider's got some complex graphics, it will take some time for neko to finish his design before he can have a working version.
actually he has working versions but still very early to use them as media player.
I tried some of them and trust me, the avi files are enough for you to have a preview.;)

ECS mode complete, bear in mind that the transition between day and ECS mode are animated, so it looks alot cooler when its running, the light also pulses slightly and can alter its colour, the final version (hopoefully), with the new layer_fx teqniques, will be beat reactive

Atmo 10th July 2002 13:42

/me is impressed. :D

YtseJam 10th July 2002 13:46

I think it looks sweet but I also think that those two panels that uncovered the lights looks somewhat out of place, maybe because of their border that really puts them "out" and not as stream lined as the rest of the skin...

Correct me if I'm wrong...

binary hero 10th July 2002 13:56

doesn't look too shabby :)

Rocker 10th July 2002 14:37

wowzers:D

FlameNFalcon 10th July 2002 16:35

:eek: it glooooows..i could at this thing all day:eek:

Caleb 10th July 2002 21:11

i bet that this (like any other skin) will get boring after a day or two.

i just hope that spider will have some surprise elements.. that will keep one using the skin to find hidden animations :)

i mean, that kind of stuff wants me to keep using it, just like WarCraft3, the game is boring and annoying, the the fact that i want to see the next beautiful cinematic is the one that makes me going :)
Although i already know how to watch all of the cinematics from the cd :)

like.. im in the settings window, and somewhere, i find some kind of a dot or some clickable place (hard to notice), suddenly when i click it, something happens to the spider :)

Neko 10th July 2002 21:22

adding featurte that i dont show ppl here would mean that i stop posting screenshots entirely, and i'd get grief then for not updating, so.. :P

Tomato Face 10th July 2002 21:50

I'm planning on using Spider as my default skin once it comes out, just the thought of having that baby leering back at me through the screen sends chills down my spine! Ohh I just can't wait! :p

<rant>Hmm, I just though, what would happen to Winamp3 if I was to delete the Default.wal... It's just to much fun pondering over it to actualy try out! And i'd have to interupt my Brandstonfest to do it.</rant>

FlameNFalcon 10th July 2002 21:52

9 pages and its still not out :p im just kiddin, take yur time

Neko 11th July 2002 01:59

UT!!!

Neko 11th July 2002 02:03

oh yeah, btw : ecs mode.avi

FlameNFalcon 11th July 2002 02:30

oh you just happen to be like "oh yeah btw";)

its wicked man

DiEMOS 11th July 2002 03:40

wow :)

Xen| 11th July 2002 03:48

Nice...

The panels which pop out for that effect should darken slightly as the light brightens, I think...would make them seem less artificial.

[EDIT]
Also maybe have the light bleed a couple pixels past the edges of the panels...

simon snowflake 11th July 2002 06:35

this is so freaking cool, can barely wait.
ph33r the spider

I'm with him, they do seem a little bit out of place, but I still think this is the coolest looking effect I have seen on a skin.

simon snowflake 11th July 2002 06:44

ok I told Nemm this allready, but just wanna know if more people feel the same:
[qoute][
[08:46] <Simon_Snowflake> maybe stupid, but does the spider get some sort of shadow casted underneeth?
[08:46] <Nemessis> nope, not yet at least
[08:47] <Simon_Snowflake> because now it really floats, and then it get more solid
[/quote]

simon snowflake 11th July 2002 06:56

ok this is a very ugly example, but you'll get my grip
http://theistari.homestead.com/files/divers/Image3.jpg

Plague 11th July 2002 10:51

it had a cool shadow on the very first screenshots..
can't you just implement that?
