also how do you animate the led's and such? is it right in 3D? i've always wondered how to do that stuff. is it something blender can do (are you familiar with blender)?

The leds around the knob can be done with script or manually.

thanks shamann, didn't see it.

Very nice work!

You should also try offering your services on the VST plugins, and MusicDSP mailing lists. There are a lot more dev's hanging round there. Here's the webpages for 'em...

very nice work! i like how little added extra's don't make the designs complicated or distracting, like the led indicator lights on the compressor. clear designs rock!

If you wanted to do some freeware stuff, my plugins could do with some nice GUI's!

or as some one suggested earlier, just some knobs and sliders to use in any project would be very cool too.

Thanks! Well yea I guess I could do that at some point, but then you wouldnt need me anymore

TSV - your work is incredible. seriously impressive. Did it take a long time to learn lightwave? I am thinking maybe i should start using some 3D software for GUIs instead of hacking away with photoshop.

Thanks! Yea it took few years but then again I wasnt trying to do anything serious. But don't expect 3d be any easier than 2d in photoshop, I would even say its the opposite when it comes to gui design .

Nice work!!!, are you using a 3d design software?

Hey man,

The compressor is awesome! Love it!

If you want to give you work maybe you could make some kind of database of knobs and sliders in form of images and putting them available for dowload in your site.

You could also sell your services for more specific projects.

I wish you all the best! You're an artist!

Yes I'm still using lightwave as the 3d software

Thanks lpx

Have you produced any animations in vertical "filmstrip" format yet? If so, can we see some? That's half the job.

The other "secret", that I'm tired of keeping to myself, is what you can do with 32 bit PNGs with alpha instead of using 24 bit BMPs. Not only can the knobs seamlessly antialias into the BG, but they can carry their own shadows with them. This way you don't have to bake the BG into the knob images, as just about EVERYBODY seems to. And that means the same foreground knob can go anywhere over the background. And you can change the background image at any time without having to re-do the knobs.

Here's a short section of one of mine:



Load that up in Photoshop and throw it over a background and you'll see. The shadows cast onto whatever they're in front of.

Seems like almost nobody in this industry knows anything about image compositing though. So there you go, consider this a kick everyone.

for assuming that everyone is ignorant about basic PNG alpha channels, you deserve a kick yourself. i do that already with the interfaces that support PNG.

nice knobs.

Just basing that on the products I've seen Grymm. i did say "almost nobody". So congrats to you.

But... "With the interfaces that support PNG". What do you mean?

Ah, you're a graphic artist. Yes, but do you provide the developer with images in these formats? That's what I'm talking about. The composition done in-software. (Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you.)

Most experienced artists will know these techniques, that's my point. But it seems a lot of developers, MOST developers, even the leaders of the industry, DON'T. It's them I want to kick.

And thanks. That knob is from the reject pile actually. But my point is the shadow trick (that and just plain alpha blending of the edges.)

Cheers.
