Preserved Topic: quick lookie and a critique... (Page 1 of 1)

wondered if I could get any comments on this graphic?... not sure what it could be used for ..but all suggestions welcome!!! hehe <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

It could make an interesting artist interface for a more personal site. I however would make the light source for all the yellow / orange buttons the same (the top and bottom color buttons are different light sources, and all but the bottom right diagonal buttons are differentlight sources). I wouldn't mind if you would perhaps vary the texture (not the color) from button to button, rather than have all the buttons be the same texure as the large center.

I do like the image tho, I've always held a facination with chaos stars.

I like it, I truly do. It's a wonderful, wonderful thing.

But the lighting confuses me. What are those yellow balls made of that would make the lighting look like that? It looks as though cement balls were painted with orange splats of paint. *confused look* do I not get something here?

Otherwise, love it. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

hmmm... 2 responses and both are focusing on the lighting???? well..
between you , me, and the rest of the asylum, there is a very simple explanation.. I shall hold my breath til it is revealed... I am sure milky will figure it!!!.. thanks F1 and twitch <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/redface.gif">

Simple, they're the styrofoam balls that we used to stick pins through in school and throw at each other.


Oh?...You guys never did that?....Never been mained you say?

Oh well then..nevermind.


I've got to agree with the lighting problems though vogon....the rest looks not too bad at all, but the "balls" look so extrememly fake that it throws off the look of the entire piece.

Or so I say...in my ever fervent way <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

We never did that DG, but we did make paper stars with pins on the end, and as we got older we figured out how to make "guns" out of spring-type clothespins, and we'd shoot BB's at each other. As we became even older science class became much more fun also, and a little scarier. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Yeah..we eventually progressed to sharpened pencils, and hockey elastics...

By the time we got to play in chem lab, I was getting 90s in chem, and noone would worked with me anymore.

I swear...make one kid hold the phosphorus until the oil drips all away, and they never want to play anymore...

i thought they were cheese puff things...

some girl in my digital media class made a really cool graphic that we called 'cheetoh che' or whatever.. fuck i should just get a copy and upload it, rather than trying to explain.

i dunno, i like the graphic though.. and realistic lighting sources are for sissies! hehe... or not.

cheers.mikey.milker

I also like it....but I also have a big problem with the mixed up lighting and a few "missing" shadows..... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">


Ask for opinions At Your Own Risk!

all points well taken and I have to agree.. the lighting is all screwed up,
back to the drawing board!! thanks for the input <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

Anything with a Hitchhiker's guide reference is O.K. by me, just don't read any poetry. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

babel fish anyone?.. ~lol~

Looks cool. Just rotate your balls so the lighting is the correct way.

Ok, yeah, that was a great post. That would probably be a little painful.

I did that once when I taught a college physics lab. We were doing the Galileo inclined plane experiment and after I had introduced it I said.

"Any questions? OK, grab your balls and get started." <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

just wanted to say a quick 'shanks' for the critque....

"long live the pork chops".....

I don't know why you would want to do this (you did ask for suggestions of possible uses), but, once you get the light sources fixed, you could tile a surface with it. You know, have each of the small balls connected to a large ball on each side.
