The creation of a Logo

Johan — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:15:59 +0000

I have fiddled around with Inscape to make a Logo for a Soldat Ladder, where soldat is a 2D shooter, and a ladder is ranking for player clans.

My first draft was

I went for the S with the Army Hat and the l as a ladder, but the owner of the site wanted more content, like guys and props and guns.

So i added 3 guys and some shooting, but still not enough details.

Here i went overboard so i toned it down but added another soldier.

Which is the final result.

And the unboxing begins…

It’s a great price (Adobe Master Collection) and I hope I can make some cool stuff with it. I want to thank Joshua Davis and Branden Hall for setting up the contest and all the hard work they put into hype; And of course Adobe.

Hype 1.1.1

Johan — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:45:11 +0000

So a new version of hype is released over at http://hype.joshuadavis.com/. The coolest thing about it is the new PNG functionality.

“ContextSavePNG which allows you to rip your small Flash canvas to a much larger transparent PNG.” – Joshua Davis @ http://vimeo.com/8809042

Its now very easy to use HYPE for large printing, whoho!

Ps. I have just tested it on some stuff i made before and you can see a clear difference in the quality of the output.

Old

New

The first one was saved as 640*360 by the good old print screen. While the second one was saved with the new PNG Context as 9600 * 5400 and then resized to 640 * 360. (Overkill ? =) )

Gridlayout

Johan — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:23:11 +0000

I have played around today with the gridlayout to se how to combine that with mousefollow. What I do is, I place some clips in the gridlayout, then i constantly calculate the distance between the mouse curser and the clips in the gridlayout. With that information i can for example change the rotation of the clips according to the mouse position. (Move Mouse Over)

Someone must have made something like this before, and better; but i could code this in just a couple of hours. That is what i like with hype.

Extra

Because of lag i also added them as links so one can test them in separate windows.

Johan — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:15:44 +0000

Last post was a little confusing so i added all exampels into spirals-0.2.1 .

Spiraling spiral code

Johan — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:02:16 +0000

Here is the code to the spiraling spirals with hype. The examples from 11-16 shows some spiraling spiral capability.

Unfortunately i did not save the creations i did before so the examples are a little bit different than http://www.jlindholm.com/2009/12/spiraling-sprials/

( spirals-0.2 get hype at http://hype.joshuadavis.com/ )

Update: New examples

The code to the above five exampels can be found here. You still need hype and the spirals-0.2 code also posted above.
