# swift 3d
is that a flash plug in?
if not, is it free?
(I helped save b3ta! Or is it?, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:05, archived)
# i think
it's a whole flash app. i dont think it's *cough*kazaa*cough* free though...
(I helped save b3ta! Zykatious Is all like WWOOOAAAHHHH, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:07, archived)
# i shall explain
do a google on it for more info but,
1. its not a flash plugin, its either a 'flash-powered' standalone package, or a plugin for 3ds max
2. it costs £100 (for an 8MB file!)
3. its free on kazaa, but expect a queue
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:07, archived)
# ah
1) don't have either of those, so it wouldn't be of use
2) no way in hell i'm paying for somehting like that.
3) i don't use kazaa anyway.

I hear the next version of Adobe Photoshop (now called Photoshop CS) will have an activation like Windows XP has.

(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:23, archived)
# would it help adobe keep it more under control
if they had a vew different versions out there with different activation algorhythms, and set up so that if you used the wrong crack, it would disable its' ever being used on your harddrive?

# pfffft
lightwave only works at uni, and maya justs annoys me for some reason. 3ds max works fine on my machine but i have to reboot to close it.
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:09, archived)
# Maya = best 3D App evear!!
if you got the tutorials and stuff you'd love it more than life itself. Lightwave is a bit excellent, but 2nd to maya, 3DS Max falls about 50th place of 3D Apps, right behind Milkshape :D!:D!

Although if you make models for games, it's a good app to have.

# games not my thing
i like cel-shaded style 3d things at the moment, and swift 3d has a render output preset for such a task. 3ds max is a good tool to learn in anyway
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:15, archived)
# but
maya is so much easier! and so much more advanced! and has such amazing cel shader plugins!

# before i get maya
i am working on:
5 projects for my uni, in:
PHP, SQL, ASP.NET, CSS, XML, WML, Lotus Notes and Photoshop. My head fucking kills and feels like its ready to explode. last week i typed an asp.net script into lotus notes and mashed the whole notes server up for an hour...

# nice
me like, but have some tiny tiny niggles

The text on the the left hand side (css compatible and all that), has no margin bewteen it and the wall but the text on the right (militia design, Enter) has about a 4 pixel margin. Dunno if it matters but i grated with me.

Also the text at the very bottom right of screen (copyright i think) I couldn't read unless i highlighted it. The colours are too close (on my monitor) and the text is too small (perhaps my res is too high).

Hope this is consturctive, it's still a hell of a lot beter then i could ever do!

# ta muchly
it shows up fine on my machine, but i shall double check it at work both on a windows, mac and redhat machine just in case. i'm still quite proud the splash page has a google importance of 4/10 before i even opened it

edit: see what you mean about the margins, will fix tomorrow!

# looks great!
This is what I'd do if it were mine:
Add an invisible button over the 'enter' button; so the mouse rollover action occurs when the cursor enters the vicinity of the enter text, not directly on top of. I believe it provides a cleaner look.
What did you build the 3d in? Swift?
(I helped save b3ta! sof sof, Thu 2 Oct 2003, 1:13, archived)
# arrr
thanks for the tip.

i cobbled everything but the 3d together in about 10 minutes, so it will look a little rough

# swift is great fun.
make sure you test this animation on as many processor speeds as possible. I have in the past experienced 'castastropic depression' as I realized the animation I just spent 4 hours building will not function on any machine but mine.

# i have been informed
by a 3d vet. at the uni, that a 60fps file will work fine under any machine, as flash mx automatically reduces the frame rate to cater for the machine. since the file is (relatively) small, this should not be a problem.
