Team Project

[xlSwampFoxlx]

icegod took a look at my post so ima post it here for you guys. this is what i started a while ago and can be yours

[xlSwampFoxlx]

this is the sketch of my entire idea

[Icegod]

As I said before it is great.
The only thing that I believe should be added are a few more modes.
But this is a team project so everybody has a say in this.

[vamitul]

yes man. I did. about the modes. again yes, we will add some more.
sorry, but this week i'm realy hooked at work, and i dont know how much time i'll have, but i'll try to get some work done for the skin also.

see ya soon

[vamitul]

like weheee.... beta site up and running.
http://skinteam.***********/
about the modes again, maby ask Swampfox to make some.

pls, register on the site. so we will know who is in and who is out.
one more thing. I say we name Swamp "oficial hades project designer". has a nice ring to it, no? like we'r the Pentagon

[Icegod]

I signed up.
And if you want a nice sounding name try "official desginer for project codename:'HADES'"

[RetardMan]

I would love to make some color themes. I dont lots of time so just like 5. Just send me the skin once its working.

[vamitul]

kewl. Swamp, you said u got more drawings. pls post them all.
a "final version" of the site is alomst ready, i'll uploade it tomorow. Ice, any GFX ready? i tried to do some, and i must say i't harder than i thougt. swamp, how did u do (in the minimode) the "joining" stuff?

[Icegod]

don't have much time lately. Hopefully this week but I highly doubt it. And now that I'm home I will have even less

But I'll do my best to get something for next week.

[vamitul]

np. man, anyways, it's almost easter (here, in romania, next week).

[xlSwampFoxlx]

Hey guys, 2 papers and a middle school design project set be back on time... i signed up on your site (im Scott). If you would like i will try and do more drawings to come up with i guess larger modes? my brother has a scanner so hopefully i can have them up today. ehehe i looked at myself more as a silent partner in all of this =). vamitul i think what i understand from what u said is how did i do the coloring of the flames as they criss cross? everything that i did in photoshop has been freehanding airbrush (understanding of shades and shadows is always helpful). i was also envisioning the "display" parts inbetween the flames was semi transparent background with the given things in it, ie time, but open to ideas.

[vamitul]

.. and there were three of them, set on conquering the world.
Freehand airbrush? you scare me.. so much patience. i alyas use layers, never event thougt of that. but i'll give it a try. about the models, not realy larger, but something that can incorporate drawers. like in the horizontal mode, the two main flames, can "open" to make room for a avs, or a config or something between them. anyways, i hope it will become a great skin. actualy i'm having a really good feeling about this.
btw, have you guys seen QuadHelix Warp skin? it's great. we have to do better than that.

[Icegod]

freehand airbrush in PS
Will take me days to get it right then
And yes i saw the warp skin I even use it for the incorporate timer it has. Making something better than that is hatd but not impossible

[vamitul]

dlinkwit27.... say what??? %^%#$$#

[vamitul]

ok.. starting today i have 6 days off from work. i can't belive it. peace and relaxation. and... skinning. found a easy way to do the GFX: paths, layers and airbrushing+clone stamp only on the overlaping of the flames. done some part of it. when i come back to work i hope all the GFX will be done.
see ya and HAPPY EASTER! to everyone

[Icegod]

nice. I couldn't get any of the gfx look like they should
Good to hear you found an easy way to do it

Awaiting the gfx eagerly.

And a happy easter to aal you out there aslo.

[xlSwampFoxlx]

i would be interested in seeing what you have done myself there vamitul.... also what happened to the site?

[vamitul]

about the gfx, after the hollydays. I'm also tring to do them in 3dMax, but it's HARD! tomorrow i'll leave to a monastery, for the Resurection. when i'll com back, i'll do them.
about the site, i'we updated it, but my connection crushed as I was uploading it, so it's curently out of order. i'll fix it soon. sorry abou the inconvenient.
see ya all sonn.
btw. seems I've got a new addiction. THIS FORUM. I'we give up IRC for over one year (almost lost a job because of it), and now... but I LIKE IT

[vamitul]

hy guys! back into the jungle, but with some great news. Almost finnshed the gfx. It's easy. this is how it's done.
I make the flames with paths, each flame in it's own layer. Add the bevel and a mall shadow to each, then I merge the layers. after that, using the clone stamp, I make the overlapping of the flames. easy as pie.
Scot, what I need now, is some realy detailed sketches, and pls use a very sharp pencil.
the gfx I'we already done i'll post it this evening.

[vamitul]

Ok. here are parts of the gfx, like i promissed. The rest of them are back home (now i'm online from work). I haven't extracted them yet, coz I'm waiting for your opinion. Ice, pls some help would be nice. If you want, i'll mail you the .psd.

[dlinkwit27]

i'm not seeing any graphics...

[vamitul]

Upps.. forgot to add the link
here it is

[Icegod]

They are looking wonderfull. very nice.
Don't see how I could help as i don't really have much of gfx experience.
I could give it a try if you explain me where you need help.

[RetardMan]

Wow. I can't wait to test and colortheme the final product!

[vamitul]

Ice, making the buttons, sliders etc and exporting them to PNG. if u can, i'll send u the psd. (lost you e-mail). pm with it

[EdgeOfEpsilon]

I could code some of the MAKI and XML for a team project. I've just finished coding for the Steel Pill skin by Krynis. I think a "pill" mode would be cool for one of the modes.

With the XML for this, I specifically designed it to be easy to integrate into another skin as a mode or window. What about the style, would it be good for a team project?

[vamitul]

Edge first.. thanx. any help is great. second, what is a "pill" mode?

[Icegod]

Take a look at this thread
The screens will shows you what a pill mode is.

[Icegod]

Still didn't recieve the psd gfx file.
Hope it won't take too long. That why I can start recreating the buttons and sliders and eventually export all the parts to psd.

[vamitul]

Ice,tried to send it, but your inbox is FULL! the psd is 1.9 mega, so i'll send it in 2 parts.

[Icegod]

lol it's full after about 500 emails
Time to delete some then. Will do it right away

[xlSwampFoxlx]

Vam i received ur email but every time ive tryed to send you something and when i replyed to yours it gets bounced back... i dunno whats up but what would be an alternate way to reach you.

[vamitul]

ok. mailsurf suks.
try #justitiarul@verena.#ro# (without the #)

[vamitul]

hey guys. sorry, i haven't posted anything for a long time. got hijaked by a wier trojan, i coudn't acees the forums.
ice, you mailbox is still full.

[Icegod]

Will clean it again.

I haven't had much time to spend on the skin. And the time I spend was time lost as the buttons didn't really looked any good

There my inbox is cleaned now.
And you can also try to mail me at #icegod @ icegod . tk# (withou the spaces and the # obvisously).

[vamitul]
