Need custom AVS
project Venom
link
This is a new advanced skin I have designed and is being coded now.
I want this to be the first skin to be released with a custom AVS, to be released at the same time together called Venom AVS
I will give the best avs preset that is posted here $40. and the rest will be shipped with the One that wins. Tell me what you think. Try to incorporate electricy or skin colors and graphics into it. Thanks!! prize money could go up depending on the responce to this.

dounds interesting..
skin looks nice..
im not sure if i quite understand what you are getting at though, are you actually going to use more than one preset, or just the one that wins.

i normally wouldn't do something like this, but for 40 bucks? woohoo!
that is one sweet skin...is the electricity on the side animated- it would be awesome if it was!

From what I can gather from the other thread, I think he's looking for us to be the ones to make the electricity animated... (correct me if I'm wrong QH)

Ok...Count me in ! :)
mikm
12th June 2003 22:27 UTC
no. that is not the avs screen. then the "custom" avs would be pointless. what QH wants is an AVS preset, preferably electric-themed that looks somewhat like the skin

hi,
the electricity is going to be animated by me, and it is activated by sound. You guys just have to make your avs presets to show in the AVS's box. I dont think the AVS's can be put in the .wal but it will be released on the same day that this skin is.

So the avs window will be just like the normal avs window? Or a special shape? I guess one criteria also is FPS... or do you want something really complex? (not that i can do that, but just asking) One more question and that is, do you want it to be skin themed (with colors)?
Sorry for all these questions, but im interested and i will probably try to make something atleast :)

Its the normal vis window, fps doesnt matter, complex or not, more thought that goes into it gets more points with me. The skin will have alot of different theme colors but to just make the avs to how you feel Venom should be portrayed is what i want. Its a cool skin make cool AVS's
they might all be in the final download, but 1 will win!! 1 month till I stop taking AVS's

13th June 2003 15:06 UTC
my first try
this is my first try at a AVS to show you guys what sorta thing i am looking for.
Phaze1987
13th June 2003 16:39 UTC
This is your first AVS preset ? looks kinda nice :) So you want a ligthing effect and a light blue color included...OK!
QuadHeliX
13th June 2003 21:42 UTC
well I dont care if its electricity or what ever. just whatever you feel.

Never use oscilloscope data to represent lightning... lightning has a hugely different spectrum.
Wiser87
14th June 2003 01:42 UTC
sorry to burst your bubble QH, but I have seen one or two skins with an included AVS in the skin file (to get it you would have to rename to .zip, open, and extract the file). But then again, that one had nothing to do with the skin either...
mikm
14th June 2003 02:28 UTC
yes, I've seen that alot, but I've only seen one made for the skin (it sucked anyways)
Zevensoft
14th June 2003 03:58 UTC
UnConeD, could you please enlighten us to the actual spectrum of lightning then?
UnConeD
14th June 2003 07:34 UTC
I just use x(n+1)=x(n)+(rand(3)-1) as I pass down the shaft.
A lightning can be considered a fractal shape (up to the level of the air molecules that are being ionised) so the spectrum after sampling would contain an amplitude for every frequency (due to near-infinite aliasing), unlike regular music which is concentrated in the lower frequencies.

Hey guys,
Ya I think I can link a installer program from a window that pops up when the skin is first installed. That would be really neat. Then who ever makes a vis and sends it in to this contest will be in there. They will be rated from 1 to whatever the count of final AVS's. No AVS's entered as of Yet here.

16th June 2003 09:48 UTC
Sorry quad, but everytime i tried to do a preset for your skin i ended up making such a good preset that i wanted to keep it for myself :D Besides i guess you can't use any external files/effects in the preset, am i right? You know Picture's, APE's etc. Anyway sorry man, but im keeping these myself :blah: :p
QuadHeliX
16th June 2003 17:00 UTC
HAHA,
Come on Tug, let us have 1 of them at least. You can add graphics like small bmps I will put them in a folder. There will be a installer with this pack that will be in the Skin directory.
Tuggummi
17th June 2003 07:48 UTC
Well they are actually not that good, but they use APE's which i doubt you could or would include within the skin... I might try again to make a venom preset after i get my pack out, which is this wednesday, which is... tomorrow! (wow....)
QuadHeliX
17th June 2003 14:20 UTC
Thanks
The Venom AVS pack would have at least 10 presets in it. OK I have added
1st place: $50
2nd place: $25
3rd thru - ?-- hey your going to be in Venom when its done, with your screen name.
maybe more later I will get 2 other people to judge with me that are not in the contest.

You said you can do support for small pictures, but you still didn't say anything about APE's, I made a nice preset, but it uses the colormap ape, I'll post it in a day or two, I'm still working on the background a little bit, with or without colormap.
UnConeD
18th June 2003 04:51 UTC
ST: Make sure you use the latest colormap (with mapcycling support).
S-uper_T-oast
19th June 2003 04:00 UTC
Yes, I do have the newest Colormap, but I worked on it over the last day and made it now so that it uses Channel Shift instead of Color Map. I don't know if there is a newer version of Colormap or not, but I included the one I have with it. I might try to change the background around a little bit, because I don't like the way it turned out exactly, but it's good enough for now.

Realllyyyy Nice Super-T now thats what I am looking for!!! Thanks OK thats #1 for now.
fsk
19th June 2003 11:48 UTC
and here is #2. it needs a few more twitches but since im realy short on time ill do that before it goes in the pack (which I hope isnt before 1st of June)

mine so far...I still have to fix the superscopes- get rid of the getosc() in the lightning and replace it with better, more realistic, coding.

why is everybody doing that same preset with cubes connected by lightning? lack of innovation?
Raz
23rd June 2003 03:14 UTC
One difference, i did that preset about 5 months ago.
QuadHeliX
23rd June 2003 15:11 UTC

This might look stupid:rolleyes: but this is the most electric preset i have got(lack of skills)
QuadHeliX
27th June 2003 08:27 UTC
not stupid at all, can you use a jpg instead of a bmp, file reduction. or does AVS only support bmps. Great AVS!!
Raz
27th June 2003 08:50 UTC
Only supports bitmaps.
[Ishan]
27th June 2003 09:39 UTC

Sorry for the mistake, it is this:
Tuggummi
29th June 2003 20:52 UTC
Ok here is mine... A bit unoriginal because it's "just-another-swirly-flow-preset" :rolleyes:
TIP: You can change the colour by adjusting the sliders on the Trans / Brightness filter.

I think you are just jealous of my sexyness, or it could be that my ego was overinflated by my small moment of feeling like I am the best!
Could we get an estimate of when the skin will be finished?
QuadHeliX
21st July 2003 15:42 UTC
SKIN is about 60% and the coder is back on it now trying to get it done. I will have a link when the skin first opens to the Venom AVS. Can some help me with the zipping part, making it a Exe.

26th July 2003 10:54 UTC
Ever heard of the free installer NSIS (by Nullsoft ofcourse). May be an option, and I know how to use it.
NSIS generates a single .exe-file, no other files. And there aren't any files needed on the system to use the installer.
