devART's 3rd Birthday
I think we should start a devART's 3rd Birthday tribute pack...or am I just crazy....

(This would make up for how awful the 2nd birthday tribute was)

Nic01

13th February 2003 01:07 UTC

Agreed =P

/me prepares to start an idea of a preset he had since da's 2nd birthday

Ches Dragon

Are these presets exclusively for this pack or can we put them in our upcoming packs too?

Tuggummi

13th February 2003 07:28 UTC

This really comes up in a bad time... When was devarts birthday again? I already have turned down Ches Dragon's collab pack, but damn... i wouldn't want to miss this since i love devart and i spend most of my time there. Even more time than in the forums (sorry fellas, but you're not just that attractive ;))

So devarts birhtday?
Deadline?

Maybe i could come up with something if there is plenty of time...

By the way here's the DeviantART logo traced as a superscope.

u=i*.544;
f=below(u,.05);px=if(f,-.23,px);py=if(f,u*21-.61,py);
f=band(above(u,.05),below(u,.069));px=if(f,-.23-(u-.05)*21,px);py=if(f,.45,py);
f=band(above(u,.06899),below(u,.17));s=(u-.069)*31.4;px=if(f,-.61*cos(s),px); py=if(f,.45-pow(abs(sin(s)),.9)*.67,py);
f=band(above(u,.1699),below(u,.188));px=if(f,.61-(u-.17)*21,px);py=if(f,.45,py);
f=band(above(u,.18799),below(u,.209));px=if(f,.265,px);py=if(f,.45-(u-.188)*21,py);
f=band(above(u,.20899),below(u,.219));px=if(f,.265-(u-.209)*21,px); py=if(f,.0-(u-.209)*5,py);
f=band(above(u,.21899),below(u,.254));px=if(f,.065,px);py=if(f,.15+(u-.229)*21,py);
f=band(above(u,.25399),below(u,.294));px=if(f,.065+(u-.254)*21,px);py=if(f,.67,py);
f=band(above(u,.29399),below(u,.430));s=(u-.294)*23;px=if(f,.89*cos(s),px); py=if(f,.67-pow(abs(sin(s)),.9)*1.05,py);
f=band(above(u,.42999),below(u,.47));px=if(f,-.89+(u-.430)*21,px);py=if(f,.67,py);
f=band(above(u,.4699),below(u,.535));px=if(f,-.05,px);py=if(f,.67-(u-.47)*21,py);
f=band(above(u,.53499),below(u,.546));px=if(f,-.05-(u-.535)*20.1,px); py=if(f,-.695+(u-.535)*9,py);
py=py*.8-.1;
alpha=bnot(bor(band(above(u,.107),below(u,.117)),band(above(u,.3646),below(u,.3737))));

The resulting points are put into (px,py) in AVS coordinates. 'Alpha' is zero where the lines should be black, and 1 otherwise. Because of this, the scope should be drawn with additive or maximum blending mode.
Depending on the amount of points you use to draw it, you might need to tweak the constants in the alpha line so that the scope's lines stop right at the D.

If you're running low on variables: u and f are temporary variables and can be replaced by e.g. red,green,blue... If you don't need i elsewhere, you can even replace u by i (provided you keep the first rescaling line i=i*.544)

I'm going to make an intro preset with this, because I don't have time to make a full on DevArt tribute... if no-one minds, this could be the pack's intro preset.

Jaak

13th February 2003 10:12 UTC

I guess im just too newby to be count in?

UnConeD

13th February 2003 10:18 UTC

Jack: just make a cool preset... I'm sure you'll come up with something neat if you want to :)

Btw here is my suggestion for the Intro. The scope is a 3D version of the one above, with connecting lines plus an optimized version of the beam effect from Whacko AVS III. Looks pretty rad :).

I also added a credits scroller which will include everyone's name, and optionally some extra blabber.


The other preset is my submission for the tribute pack. I don't have much time to make a special preset just for the pack, so I took the hairy blobscope which I posted a while ago to demonstrate how to calculate normals. It's still pretty neat, and well Atero always said I should publish it as a decent preset :).

Once this is published on DevART, everyone should immediately +fav it, so it will get noticed, get featured and give AVS a much needed PR boost :).

Tuggummi

13th February 2003 10:26 UTC

hmm...

Just wondering how many of you guys even are deviantart.com members and submit on the site? Im not saying it should be a criterion to participate on the pack, but im just wondering why are you willing to join into a tribute for site you don't even use? :weird:

Jaak

13th February 2003 10:39 UTC

I use it but im just not member...

Tuggummi

13th February 2003 11:00 UTC

heh, im not judging anyone, im just curious that's all :p

UnConeD

13th February 2003 12:01 UTC

Mmm I forgot how totally cool volumetric effects are :). Check out this highquality volumetric-only version of the DA logo...mmmmmmmmmm..... when the lightpoint moves it's totally awesome how the beams cross the camera.

Yathosho

13th February 2003 12:32 UTC

to keep them exclusive, you must not post them here :)

maybe horse-fly releases a new version of his fella preset for the pack?

anubis2003

13th February 2003 12:38 UTC

UnConeD that is amazing. I was going to do about the same thing(without the volumetric lighting), but it looks like you beat me to it. The DA logo doesn't move very fast, so you may want to speed it up a slight bit.

UnConeD

13th February 2003 14:15 UTC

yathosho: Well since most people here will be working on the presets, why not post them too? It's supposed to be a collaborative effort anyway, and that way we can advise eachother on how to improve presets...

Yathosho

13th February 2003 17:53 UTC

no problem with that, but i read the word 'exclusiveness' before :)

dirkdeftly

13th February 2003 19:37 UTC

It's not like they *have* to be exclusive. If you want to release one in one of your packs, go ahead...just not before the tribute pack.
BTW, I do think it should just be people who use AND post on devART...

Very cool intro, UnConeD. It's extremely slow, tho...I think that scope can just be somewhere from n=600-900 meself :) And there's the part where sometimes it rotates just a little to far, making the beam effect look really wierd....

Jaak

13th February 2003 19:47 UTC

:hang::cry::hang::cry:...thats not good...:cry:

UnConeD

13th February 2003 22:26 UTC

The beam-only version wasn't intended to be usable... I'd keep the low-res version with the 3Dscoped DA logo.

dirkdeftly

14th February 2003 00:14 UTC

i figured that ;)
btw, unconed, could you arrange a time to be on mIRC? i have some questions that can't be addressed through e-mail :)

Phaze1987

14th February 2003 08:29 UTC

There are 174 days left until the birthday...I think there is enough time to create 10 tribute packs :) Btw if Atero`s idea will become reality someone should put a deadline.

blazer1504

14th February 2003 11:25 UTC

I'd really like to give something to this pack if the deadline isn't in near future (?) Without DA I would have quit a long time ago..

skupers

14th February 2003 14:02 UTC

Count me in. I'll try to do some exclusive presets.

Phaze1987

14th February 2003 14:42 UTC

Ummm...im in too ;) 1 or 2 presets i think is enough...Must write DEVIANTART from scopes hihi :)

Umm, the GeForce FX 5800 is much nicer than the Radeon 9700 Pro.

zamuz

3rd March 2003 22:28 UTC

Check out these... I just want to have your opinion before I send them to Atero.

anubis2003

3rd March 2003 22:34 UTC

Spectral Milkshake - It's alright, but it's a bit repetitive and the screen nearly goes completely white a couple of times.
Electric - Nice plasma effect, but I don't really like the horizontal lines.

zamuz

3rd March 2003 23:53 UTC

What about this one? And in Electric, to get circles instead of horizontal lines, go to the movement inside the 2nd Effect List and disable the "Rect. coords" box. If you don't like that either, just disable the 2nd Effect List. You get rid of the lines and get some FPS :)

anubis2003

4th March 2003 00:07 UTC

That's definitely better.

Im working on a jark preset for bitmapped II, but i might do one for this pack too (different of course, or whatever you like). Just to ask are you ok if i use bitmaps? I know it brings the size way up... so i thought i ask first. Oh and Picture II too...

skupers

4th March 2003 15:17 UTC

One of my presets uses a picture and the picture II ape. Does that matter?

zamuz

6th March 2003 00:24 UTC

How about this? I think it looks neat, but as always your opinions are welcome. And of course I need UnConeD's approval, since this is a remix from a preset he posted on other thread (in the Dream AVS one).

anubis2003

6th March 2003 00:43 UTC

It's alright. Don't really like the blue up at the top though. And it has some edge warping at the top and bottom.

Skupers, dreaming about green is awesome :D Really a great tribute to devart! The untitled one ain't bad, but runs slow.

Phaze, Heh, that's nice :) But where did you get that AVI? Just wondering about copyrights... you might wanna ask permission first.

Jaak

6th March 2003 12:56 UTC

maybe i should write deviantart in 3d, i allready did this with my name, so i got A.
i think that is pretty hard job and needs some (ok ok a lot of) time
[edit]
i mean each word with one scope
[/edit]

Jaak

6th March 2003 19:54 UTC

And i did it...
And now i understand that it wasnt so good idea:

1. its booring
2. its slow
3. im not good enough to make it move cool (cant u see i need help)
4. im not good enough to make it do something cool
5. it looks uncool (:weird: :P)
6. its unreadable (well its readable but... well yea... ull see..)

and i was too lazy to make the D and R petter
i did this thing in one day and now i am not planning to make the code faster today

anyways, what do you think of it?
plz, give me some ideas what to do with it...
(NB! its not final version jet)

Raz

6th March 2003 20:32 UTC

wow, some nice scope work there. Its readable believe me just slow it down a bit and giveit some deviantart-like effects. Nice :up:

Phaze1987

6th March 2003 20:45 UTC

Its in the Winamp3 AVS directory.I have no idea where i got it...I was browsing and saw it and since its small and pretty nice i thought i could use it :) If anyone knows who it is pls tell me and i`ll include it in the comment area.

anubis2003

6th March 2003 20:46 UTC

Moves a bit too fast on my computer to be readable. I would also have it start out looking at the front of it, not the side. Like raz said, it needs some effects, which should be enough to slow it down so that it is readable.

Jaak

6th March 2003 20:57 UTC

...but to make it start looking front of it i need to recode all of it... and even the A (ouch!!)
I'll see what will i do with the effects...
I'll brobably make the ART bigger and correct the D and R...

anubis2003

6th March 2003 21:00 UTC

You won't need to recode all of it. Just change out the x, y, and z variables. Actually, you only need to switch the x and z variables. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Phaze1987

6th March 2003 21:34 UTC

Pretty nice jack and s_kupers :) The 3d DA really needs some more effects and the untitled one is very cool.Nice work :)

/edit Geforce FX still sucks jheriko hehe.Radeon more cheaper and it doesnt make that damn noise(i`ve heard a FX at a computer store...damn it IS LOUD).Imagine this situation : you are masturbating and you dont hear someone coming because of the geforce and the persons catches you.Ugly eh ? All because of the damn cooling system. edit\

phaze: the AVI is from Danjoe's pIXEL.
jack: nice scopes, but can you stop them from bouncing so much, and make them do a bit more?
skupers: dreaming of that green is great - not too sure about untitleda.

and i'd also like to say that these presets don't have to be restrained to things having to do with DA, but it'd be nice if they wer - color schemes count too :)
so far it's:

unconed's intro
cellular groovomata (needs some work imho, but if it doesn't it's still going :) )
dreaming of that green
spectral milkshake
electric
yella fella (my project, still in teh works, not posted)

UnConeD

7th March 2003 18:35 UTC

- Fix aspect ratio (why doesn't anyone do this, it makes 3D scopes look like crap :rolleyes: )

- Why do the arcs have a zigzag filling but straight lines don't? Inconsistency is generally a bad thing. Also, the bottom part of the D's arc and the upper part of the R's arc don't meet the end correctly.

- The beginning/end of the arcs is missing the connection between the front- and backprofile of the letters

Anyway you still need to make a preset out of this :).

Jaak

7th March 2003 19:14 UTC

-you mean
x=x3/(z3/2+1+dst);
y=y3/(z3/2+1+dst);
must be
x=x3/(z3+2+dst); (or something like this)
y=y3/(z3+2+dst);

-at first i wanted to make the no_zigzag but the zigzag was easier, but ill make the zigzag to straight lines and i sayd before and ill say it again: ill make the D and R better

-what da?

thanks for help
Ill do it! :D

UnConeD

7th March 2003 19:31 UTC

Fixing the aspect ratio means that you make your scope look right even if you look at it in a rectangular window. Otherwise your scopes will look squished, circles will be ellipses and rotation will look weird.

You need to multiply x by h/w or y by w/h. Or you could use min(h/w, 1) and min(w/h, 1) and multiply both x and y, or use max.

Depends on how you want to fix it (always stretch x, always stretch y, stretch smallest, squish largest).

Check attachment for an explanation about the other thing :).

7th March 2003 19:53 UTC

I have "little" problems with the R, all other letters are good (not to say perfect)...
I have remade the R like 3 times and this is the last, and the best version, but it is still WRONG and i dont know whats WRONG with it...
And now im asking for help, from you all, i just cant figure it out myself, there are some kind of point misscalculations or something like this, i could make it with 3 ssc-s but its now all about princibles...
...allready thanking for help.

[edit]i guess that the asbect ration thing is uncorrect, isnt it?

Glad you like it:)
I like it a lot to. I have been trying to write simple and tight code to improve on my programing skils. This preset includes the tightest mosaic and solid scope code I can write at this time (any input on how to make it even better is grately apreciated). The only part that sucksorZ is that the scope and the (beautiful:)) squares can't be rotated:(.

yes, but people are already adding to it, and it would be SO much easeir if it was always at the top than towards the bottom or middle.

Well don't start bitching when the noobs m,iss the FAQ more as the forum is full of stickies. I culled a load of sticked in GD a while back and although not popular by some it was the correct thing to do.
Stickies are for important stuff/short term stuff IMHO.

Still don't think these 2 'tribute' threads are really needed. Maybe it is also beacuse I hate DA site is there a slower site on the Internet.

BTW it is bad form to ask one mod and then ask another. It is like a 5 year old asking his dad for a special treat and when he says no he goes running to his mum.

The preset needs a lot more perfecting, but this'll do for now.

As I'm sure all of you who intermittently check devart for notes und crap, Spyed has posted a link on your user page to two of his journal entries. Read them both if you haven't already :)

Now then, I'm viewing this tribute as wholly more important as of reading them. If you're planning on doing anything...work your ass off. If you're not planning on doing anything, but you are a devart member/user, do something now, or else I'll shake my finger at you. :igor:

The two things I'd request from EVERYONE is that 1) you start posting comments in their presets for this tribute, and that you post something for a comment on the intro; and 2) you keep your presets DA related.

Now, anyone that's posted anything, please please PLEASE don't get me wrong when I say this. The only really good presets I've seen for the pack that are DA related are Nic01's probe (assuming he gets it fixed, of course), FSK's Squared remix, HF's Dreaming of That Green, and UnConeD's intro (I'd say my Cubism remix as well but nobody's commented on it yet). I have (or at least I think I have) seen all of the presets in this post. That's 4 (or 5) presets total so far. Keep making them! And if you posted and I didn't mention you above...make more! NAYAH BITCH.

And how many does the pack need in your opinion ? 20 ?

dirkdeftly

16th April 2003 19:34 UTC

as many as possible, but i think at the very most 3 per avser :)

Phaze1987

16th April 2003 21:12 UTC

And you`d like only high end presets ?

Nic01

16th April 2003 22:58 UTC

I believe he'll pick the best of yours if you have more than 3 - Except if the extra presets are just so good and he can't quite leave them out...

Raz

17th April 2003 00:34 UTC

I'll do a couple of presets if you want me to but i don't use deviantart that much except for downloading wallpapers and avs packs. A few people said that it should just be people who regularly post comments and release things so i don't think i should get involved.

HF's Dreaming of That Green

Yathosho

27th April 2003 12:22 UTC

some broken business

dirkdeftly

27th April 2003 18:15 UTC

wow, that is a REALLY cool effect. but it's not very dynamic...i know you can do more with this :) also...it seems like your filtering could be a lot faster if you did it with a convolution filter or something...but maybe it's just me.

Yathosho

28th April 2003 07:24 UTC

i had that feel when i uploaded it. i will try to figure how to add more random movements, then upload a new version..

Yathosho

28th April 2003 23:48 UTC

thanks to tonic and skupers for helping me out

UnConeD

29th April 2003 01:04 UTC

Used a Colormap to replace the last part...

dirkdeftly

29th April 2003 06:24 UTC

it still needs to be more dynamic imho...it just moves in four directions and that's it :/

Tuggummi

29th April 2003 10:34 UTC

If it moves in ALL 4 directions, can it be anymore dynamic? :igor:

Yathosho

29th April 2003 13:07 UTC

i'm tired of it. actually i didnt want to submit anything, now thats it.

dirkdeftly

29th April 2003 20:02 UTC

you're a good avser and you use deviantart. you're submitting something, dammit. :hang: ;)

Yathosho

30th April 2003 07:51 UTC

heh, just finished a pack.. need a rest now. but 'never say never', it's still a long time to go, so i will try to come up with something new (won't update that preset posted above). then again it's diploma time for me in the next months.

Wiser87

2nd May 2003 05:21 UTC

I thought the original colors were... um... icky (don't hurt me! ;) ). Added some color maps for it to rotate through.


P.S. This is the first preset I've modified :D

Wiser87

3rd May 2003 03:49 UTC

Actually, use this one instead... fixed one of the colors that looked too similar to one of the other color maps and added another one...

Yathosho

3rd May 2003 17:08 UTC

who said the colors of the preset have to be like the (very ugly!) colors of devart?? keep your fingers out of it, and if you play around with it, put your name in the comment and the filename (remixed by.. ).

btw: remove the multiplier (in *my* preset) and you got your ugly devart colors. :D

wiser: your version looks like the standard theme of deskmod.

Yeah... sorry... :cry:

Yathosho

19th May 2003 09:48 UTC

crashed my winamp. reupload with picture.

sidd

21st May 2003 07:38 UTC

sorry, i thought i resubmetted it ages ago.. here'y'ar.

Yathosho

30th May 2003 11:21 UTC

Damn, cuz i really liked that preset.

Ill resubmit it when i get home

[Ishan]

1st June 2003 07:13 UTC

It works fine here too!

dirkdeftly

1st June 2003 07:30 UTC

likewise here. siddhartha: thanks for the preset, it's going in the pack.

i'll get a preview pack up soon...we don't have that many presets, so start making them.

now, dammit.

right now i'm working on a kind of 1337 scope and i'll be done soon...

[Ishan]

1st June 2003 18:13 UTC

too bad i'm out of ideas right now:(

sidd

3rd June 2003 14:55 UTC

atero: feel free to change the colors in that preset before you submitt. As far as i remember, it is all plain devart colour right now.

sidd

5th June 2003 13:09 UTC

Here.. mess around with this because i dont have the energy.

its cool and retro like.. but at the same time it is soo dul i couldnt be fucked thinking about it. someone else can have a go.

I named it after one of my sociology textbooks.

zamuz

7th June 2003 20:11 UTC

a small update on one of my entries, nothing major.

zamuz

8th June 2003 03:31 UTC

actually, it'd be better to include only that preset from me in the pack, the others ones i sent are kinda crappy, i think...

and don't bitch at me for not using the edit button, cause the other post was made hours ago.

zamuz

8th June 2003 19:41 UTC

finished another one, this should make up for the other two.

Jaak

19th June 2003 11:47 UTC

AArrrhhh!
I have done this freakin' 3d da thingy but i have no cool effect for it!
Somone plz take it, add effect and say its a remix or something, i just have enough of this preset!

Happy birthday deviantart births!

Phaze1987

11th July 2003 20:15 UTC

:igor: ...?...there are 27 days left until the third birthday of DA...I really really should try to make something for that.

horse-fly

17th July 2003 06:24 UTC

um.... there is barely any time till da's b-day, so who ever is compiling this, make sure you get it done BEFORE the birthday.

dirkdeftly

17th July 2003 09:41 UTC

Okay, I'm making a deadline - two weeks from now, August 1st. That means GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND START AVSING. Tomorrow I'll see if I can get some time to go through everything and get a list compiled, along with some requests on optimizations, fixes, addons, etc. (i.e. I still want yathosho to fix his preset to make it more dynamic). EVERYONE NEEDS TO COMMENT ON THEIR PRESETS. IF YOU DO NOT YOUR PRESET WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED.

NOW GET TO WORK :)

horse-fly

20th July 2003 19:04 UTC

Dance Fella Dance preset, now with minor changes and a spiffy comment :up:

1 week til the birthday. It's almost time.

1st August 2003 01:17 UTC

Atero: you still have my latest intro right? the one with the shiny gameshow lights at the beginning and the squares at the top/bottom?

dirkdeftly

2nd August 2003 23:19 UTC

fuck it
Due to the extreme and unadulterated laziness of you guys, we've got 13 presets (kind of) and something like 2 comments (kind of). I've washed my hands in this project. Someone else can pick it up if they want.

I zipped up all the presets but the file is too big for the forums, so anyone who wants to put this out will have to look for them themselves.

horse-fly

3rd August 2003 01:53 UTC

four pages, and only 13 presets?!?!

how big are all the files together?

anubis2003

6th August 2003 01:48 UTC

Is somebody going to do this, 'cause there's less than two days til their birthday.

sidd

10th August 2003 06:59 UTC

wheee. another class AVS collaboration nightmare!
whooopwhoop

(btw can we unsticky this yet)

anubis2003

10th August 2003 13:06 UTC

I say "Yes". Don't need it anymore.

zamuz

11th August 2003 01:16 UTC

me too. maybe even lock it, i don't see anything useful coming out of it anyway.

Rovastar

12th August 2003 20:04 UTC

Hasn't the date passed now anyway.

Well that was a waste of a sticky for 3 months wasn't it.

You can only have soooo many comps you know.
