Godfrey Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Today, in a fit of boredom, I made a 3D Thom icon for A:M on my desktop, because it's silly for a 3D app to have a 2D icon. And then that project mutated into this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamagica Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Very simple, yet impressive. The pose looks natural and exaggerated. Awesome job! I like the background with the Thom color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacktaich Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 How do you make your own icons? well... How do you change the settings for the icons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsguy Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 you ahve to use an icon program, but there are many free ones out there, such as "Frontbase Image to Icon 2.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 How do you make your own icons? well... How do you change the settings for the icons? I render to a 32x32 Targa with the alpha channel enabled. Then I use The GIMP to re-save it as a PNG, and then use @icon sushi to convert it into an icon. (If only @icon sushi read Targas, or A:M wrote PNGs...) To replace a desktop shortcut's icon, right-click on it and select "Properties", then click the "Change Icon..." button. Browse to wherever you saved the icon, and select it. The nice thing about @icon sushi is that it's the only freeware icon editor I know of that can read/write Windows XP's alpha-blended icons.

ypoissant Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I like that one. So the A:M song would go like: - Keep on hashin'... - Hashin' on down the spline... - Hey Hey Hey... - I said keep on hashin'... - Hashin' my blues away! EDIT: Changed "line" to "spline" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachBG Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Just curious--what was the focal length on the camera for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Just curious--what was the focal length on the camera for that? 13.72, but I had to "cheat" a bit by enlarging the near foot. (I tried doing it without cheating, with a shorter focal length, but the ground plane broke up when I rendered.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
