Simon Edmondson Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Smartskin/CP Weighting http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0BF...mp;feature=plcp William Pardon me. I hadn't seen your tutorials before and, keen to learn about cp weighting and smart skin, I followed up the link. The file opened up and I got the visuals but no commentary on the sound track, only what sounded like running water? regards simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 13, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 13, 2012 ... no commentary on the sound track, only what sounded like running water?... I just tried "01" and it has a noisy soundtrack but I do hear voice. Which one are you trying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 It's looking much better today both in Firefox on PC and on the iPad! Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think there are some of those, where I have already explained what I'm doing, where I just zoned-out and was working try watching in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted November 13, 2012 Admin Share Posted November 13, 2012 It's looking much better today both in Firefox on PC and on the iPad! Good job! Thanks Gerry! I've got a ways to go and Fuchur has me headed in the right direction. Now if I can just stop breaking two things for every one that I fix. I've learned my lesson here and will test these changes more thoroughly before dropping them into public view in the future. Maybe we can set up a forum specifically for this type of testing to keep feedback flowing without interrupting the normal flow of the forum. As always I do appreciate the feedback I've been given as I've learned a lot in the process. We can always change things but hopefully we wont change just for the sake of change. We want to keep some stability around this place so we'll strive to make sure we are improving things as they change. Once we get to the point were everyone is happy with the header a goal might be to extend it into the realm of context sensitivity type headers where when you visiting the Tutorials forum you see more tutorials in the header and when in Materials Laboratory you have access to more materials related informationetc. My thought is that there should always be a few stray images that don't quite fit the theme of the given forum to entice a viewer toward something they had never considered or even knew they could do with A:M. As for where I am currently on the header you see right now, I'm debugging an issue I have with the HTML interacting with the CSS and falling into proper place between tags. That's all being tested behind the scenes... and aren't you glad you don't have to see that mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Edmondson Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 ... no commentary on the sound track, only what sounded like running water?... I just tried "01" and it has a noisy soundtrack but I do hear voice. Which one are you trying? I think it was "01" I tried ( it seemed logical to start there ? ). I admit to stopping before the end because I found it difficult to grasp what was happening because of the low res of the youtube output and the absence of commentary. I will try again tomorrow. simon Ps I spotted another Tut which explained how someone had used a BVH file to animate his character doing a Michael Jackson routine. He had an english accent and somebody had posted a comment complaining about the way he spoke. I can't believe how rude some people are at times...

Gerry Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 I noticed the A:M logo now at the top of the page appears a little pixelated and see that its true size is 726px by 437px! Crunching it down to its appearance size *should* help the page load faster. fyi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted November 14, 2012 Admin Share Posted November 14, 2012 I noticed the A:M logo now at the top of the page appears a little pixelated and see that its true size is 726px by 437px! Crunching it down to its appearance size *should* help the page load faster. fyi. Thanks Gerry. Yes, all of the images in the header are several sizes too large. I'm moving toward replacing each and putting them in a directory of their very own versus the various sources where they are currently pulled from. You do have me wondering though... if the logo looks pixelated at 726x437 wont it look even more pixelated at a smaller size? Also, I wonder if browser caching has anything to do with differences in appearance. I assume you use Safari and I haven't tested yet with that browser. Due to its current size I can zoom in 500% on Chrome and the image still doesn't appear pixelized. I will investigate. Edit: The image is now weighing in at 208×125 (43.42KB) and looks about the same (unless zoomed in really close... then it looks really blurry). See how that looks for you on your end. It'd be nice to get all the (larger) images down under 20kb per... that'd speed up page loading. Edit2: Tested in Safari and no surprises. Additional code still to be implemented to allow for Hi and Lo Rez Zooming on all browsers (incorporting Fuchur's code) and to keep the scrolling images on screen.

Gerry Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 What I meant was that it looked pixelated at the size presented in the header. I right-clicked on it to "view image" and that's where I could see it full size and with its dimensions in the title bar. It looks way better now that you've resized it. I'm looking at it in Firefox on a pc btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
