Topic awaiting preservation: *** JULY 2003 SIG CONTEST *** Light

What I would like to see is some sources of light! Illuminating brilliance is what I am aiming for..... Examples: Flashlights, lightbulbs, lamps.... even fireworks if ya want... Anything that brightens up this world will do.

No real restrictions other than -- No repeats. That is all I ask for...

Now go and light up our lives...

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

I just made this one a few days ago but I think it fits

Lets get this show on the road...

Here ya go:

nice one bodhi

I've gotta say, Wolfen, this is a really good topic so far! I'm impressed with what it has inspired, for all that we are only 2 days into it.

Hey all,

Have to head to the states for a funeral so I wanted to get my entry in early this month. Working on size and filesize. I just keep making these things too big!

Anyway, here it is...

Good, good entries... I like the neon Lacuna sign and the blacklight poster from Jung!

Wolfen, this was a good topic... I wanted to get mine in early 'cause I'm getting ready to go off on vacation for 2 weeks myself, then when I come back, we get into the first payment deadline for the upcoming Fall semester... You guys probably won't hear from me much in the next 6 weeks or so... When I get a couple minutes I'll probably poke me head in though...

I was playing around with PS, searching for a logo for my website... When I found this. It is not what I originally planed for this month, but I think it fits.

here is mine

Here we go, Aura Borealis or Nothern Lights.

Weee!



...This 4th of July thing's becoming an obsession

[This message has been edited by Moth (edited 07-07-2003).]

Moth, I like the fireworks idea, but I think the lense flare doesn't quite work. Looks more like a "strange lights in the sky" effect than fireworks. You need more sparky things.

If you don't mind a critique, that is. If you do mind, you can tell me to feck off...

oh damn, mahjqa! just kickin' as always, man!

Jussa quickie (20 min) version of that old "perspex mini-tut" I did a week or so ago

These are so beautiful! Cheers to Wolfen for such a great theme! I'm just so impressed with them all!

trib: I've been seeing a red X fora few days now - is the server down?

Now carry on with this excellent sig contest - nothing to see here............

(edit ... I tried formclot but it died on me so this reply failed - hece - deleted)


[This message has been edited by trib (edited 07-12-2003).]

Nightlight anyone?



[This message has been edited by Xenon (edited 07-12-2003).]

Way to go, trib. You broke your...internet...thingy.

Still works here.

Messing with some things.
Let's see how ugly this bitch is.

Uhhh...
Judging by the post count, I think I have made a double post.
I can't say for sure because they aren't showing up for me, if they were indeed made.
Something weird is going on.

edit:
Man, that is way too ugly.
Back to the dry erase board after the vodka settles.


[This message has been edited by warjournal (edited 07-13-2003).]

<DB edit> Deleted the double post above. Yup, they were both there</edit>

[This message has been edited by docilebob (edited 07-13-2003).]

an eye + lava = a sig that I think qualifies.



[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 07-14-2003).]

I liked the beam effect of a flashlight through smokeish air.



[This message has been edited by Rauthrin (edited 07-15-2003).]

I had originally planned to put a light shining on this, but I couldn't work it in. So, here's my entry, with a light filesize! HAHAH. I feel dirty for making that pun.



[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 07-15-2003).]

My last one left a bad taste in my mouth. So I'm trying something different.



edit: Hmm... getting a weird flash in the upper-left. I'll have to track that bad boy down. Maybe add a few more zaps while I'm at it. Other than that wayward flash, I'm liking it.


[This message has been edited by warjournal (edited 07-17-2003).]

Ok, I'm surprised no one else has done this yet so I will be the one...

Did someone say light?

Hmmm, maybe too tall? How about flipped...

Dang, why are my animations so damn big... If I try for smaller they just look like crap but if I get it to look half way decent they are huge file sizes...

**sigh**

Never mind... Looked like serious crap here... Will spare you all the horror.



[This message has been edited by Jung (edited 07-18-2003).]

looking good jung

A hologram is a source of light, right??

Before a mad scientist goes mad, there's probably a point when he is only partially mad, and this is when he throws his best parties.

[This message has been edited by Emperor (edited 07-23-2003).]

These are some real good submittions, Keep it up guys!

Cloudman, why not animate some shimmer into the hologram?

xpirex: Dang! that smilie made me do a double take...

Lucid: I can't figure out ImageReady for the life of me, and I don't have the attention span to go through help files.

[This message has been edited by Emperor (edited 07-25-2003).]

Ok, let's try this animation thing again...



Edit 1: Oh the horror! Oh well.. I'll leave this one up but I'm not too happy with it. Again the idea in my head does not match the talent in my fingers...

[This message has been edited by Jung (edited 07-24-2003).]

Giving animation a shot. . .


FINALLY-Now I'm going to work!



[This message has been edited by Cloudman (edited 07-24-2003).]

Two thumbs up from my corner, Cloudman. If you want the third thumb, maybe slow it down a little?

That, and make the glowing effect a bit more subtle.

A few more tweaks, and that'd make a killer sig

[This message has been edited by Emperor (edited 07-25-2003).]

[This message has been edited by Cloudman (edited 07-25-2003).]

It's pretty good, but it needs a bit of cleaning.

Any ideas on how I can get that white border to go the fruck away? I've gone in and manually erased probanly 5 times now.





[This message has been edited by Cloudman (edited 07-25-2003).]

Cloudman: I'd recommend starting a new thread on techncial difficulties so this one can stay focused on the contest.

i mean, that's great you wanna tell someone how cool you think their entry is... or have constructive criticisms for them... but damn...do it in another thread. half the posts in here are non-entry posts! it's very irritating.



[This message has been edited by Lacuna (edited 07-31-2003).]

Lacuna: Hey great entry but I should explain the story behind it for the benefit of the other inmates - you see Lacuna has this really weird....... oops sorry I just read your comments.

Nearly missed it....

I've got to try to keep my file names short

There's a glitch in that sig, one frame has no transparency. It's pretty cool otherwise, though!

. . .white border. . .

[This message has been edited by Cloudman (edited 07-28-2003).]

~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~
