MFF Logo IdeasBeen having a bit of a mess about, would love to see other peoples ideas...My first go: 
|
||||||
| Nick(NR) |
actually I rather like the idea of that being tweaked for the arcade? | ||||||
| Bravo |
What do you mean mate? |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
I quite like it, but I do like the current logo a lot. | ||||||
| Bravo |
I made an animated gif, quite a bit of the quality got lost in the avi to gif converter:
|
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
What tools did you use for that? It is rather clever. | ||||||
| Bravo |
I used anim8or to model and texture it (and animate it of course), then a free avi to gif converter I googled by Jansoft. |
||||||
| Bravo |
Made another but it might be a bit too dark (I did try adding another light but then it looked too light lol)...
|
||||||
| Bravo |
I lightened it up by changing the texts' texture, I was aiming for like a satellite kind of look, and I think I'm not too far away from my original plan.
|
||||||
| Bravo |
A flag:
|
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
I guess an issue would be, where are they suitable for? they have some pretty large file sizes! | ||||||
| CodyT07 |
They would look cool on a game map. |
||||||
| Bravo |
Doesn't really have to have a use, just wanting people to have a crack at making something arty and, as MFF is a common theme for us all here, MFF would be a good subject to get arty about 
Doesn't matter how good you are, just have a crack and see what you come up with, tis all good fun, and hopefully you'll learn a bit too. I learned how to do morphing (to make the flag flap) which is something I never got round to learning, so it's been positive for me already. If you (Admin) get something out of it that you can use then all well and good, thats a happy bonus 
|
||||||
| Bravo |
A new one, again a good deal of the quality lost in the gif converter. The original avi is available to you all if you want it.
|
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
Now that is rather interesting, and not too large. If the background could be cleaned it would have real potential.
I may play in the GIMP to see if that can do anything to it. |
||||||
| Viper |
Can you not create them in flash? | ||||||
| sgts |
I like that! |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
Same here, but it is beyond my abilities to clean it. 
|
||||||
| Symon |
The reason i took down the logo for the arcade is that most people seem to iframe and do not see it anyway. |
||||||
| Daniel(u1bd2005) |
it uses the big F in MFF as the first letter for "FAN" "FAST" "FREE" "FINE" but "FUN" is written in full and doesn't use the F in MFF as the starting letter, is that a mistake by any chance? |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
Well spotted! | ||||||
| Bravo |
Good shout, I'll fix it up, hehehe
To clean it I can just rerender it, no problem. What colour background you want? White doesn't really work (tried that first) |
||||||
| Brandon |
Good eye! 
|
||||||
| Bravo |
Plain off white background, shadows removed (they didnt come off too well):
|
||||||
| Bravo |
Gonna try find a better avi to gif converter, this one loses a heck of a lot of the quality (as you can see if you viewed the other avi) | ||||||
| Bravo |
I have all the frames here in a zipped folder (30 frames).
If you have animation software you can use, fill yer boots
(These frames are the clean version btw) |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
looking really good, and an amazingly good file size 
|
||||||
| Bravo |
Do you have any software to convert those 30 frames into a gif?
I have imageready but it doesn't seem to want to do it...maybe I upset it by not using it much 
|
||||||
| Bravo |
I think I managed to make a shockwave flash object with it.
Get the swf here Not sure though as I dont have anything to view it with lol. Can anyone verify if that works? |
||||||
| Viper |
You can view .swf's in browsers. It looks good to me. |
||||||
| Brandon |
Made into an animation...
With Adobe ImageReady CS2 |
||||||
| Bravo |
Great work Brandon
Can you post up a quick tut in the tutorial section on CG Arts on how you did that? Cos it was doing my head in lol |
||||||
| Brandon |
Sure will
|
||||||
| Bravo |
Oh right lol....blimey, it's massive! I must have resized it somehow. Learning loads here, shame others havent had a crack yet, they'd be learning loads too
[edit: cheers Brandon] |
||||||
| Nick(NR) |
So let me get this right you want it done like this? 
|
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
So what do people think? | ||||||
| Symon |
Very nice but will irate my left breast when i wear the t-shirt | ||||||
| Daniel(u1bd2005) |
looks great
|
||||||
| Lavathing9 |
Much better than the old one
I love it! Good work Bravo and Brandon! |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
I think that should earn a t-shirt for Bravo and Brandon so if they want to PM details...
|
||||||
| Symon |
If it has that spinning logo on it i,ll have one please
But on a serious note looks great |
||||||
| Andrew(AP) |
Looks fantastic brandon and bravo. | ||||||
| Brandon7 |
awesome banner!
That is the best I have seen in a while!
|
||||||
| Brandon |
Details away! |
||||||
| Nick(NR) |
Oh I wont convert it for them next time then
|
||||||
| Viper |
It was converted anyway wasn't it? |
||||||
| Bravo |
Lol, you did a good job of it mate, but I think you missed that Brandon ha already done it a few hours before you 
I forgot how to get round the PM barrier. I just get the message about not sending PM's. |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
You can pm from profile. | ||||||
| Nick(NR) |
bah, my convert is smoother |
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
I am not going to get churlish about this, if the effort went in independently it's t-shirts all round. I do notice that I ended up using Nicks! and Nicks is a little smaller. I can't see a quality difference myself? | ||||||
| St0rm[TitE] |
great work guys
looks alot better than the old logo love it 
|
||||||
| Nick(NR) |
No real difference, but I set the frame time change better so it scrolls smoother. Just admit you preferred the name
|
||||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
I think I hit right click and save on the first one I happened to hover over. Random chance! | ||||||
