A bit off topic

I am making a resource list of people that are able to create custom GUI's for my blog. This offer has been made privately and I am also making it public for anyone that wants to be included. If you are interested please have a webpage that displays your work and provide me with your preferred contact name and link to your webpage.

The reason that I am doing this is that I want to use my time to develop open source material that are freely available to everyone as I am no longer interested in doing customized GUI for particular projects. I do however want to promote others that are willing and capable and I felt a resource list cuts to the case and lead them to you. This does not mean that you have to offer free resources or services it simply aids in lead those in need a custom GUI to you.

If you would see my blog, please note that I am currenlty updating it so not everything is in place yet, and how I am doing this to determine if you wish to participate in this resource list please visit:

Thanks,
Jonathan Style

I think there is some miscommunication on my part here. So let me take a moment to clarify.


The resource list is something different from the rest of the stuff that is on my Blog. The resource list is to lead people to those that are qualified, able and willing to do custom GUI's for developers as I am not going to be providing that service myself. It doesn't have to be a free service that you provide to customers. I am just offering to link to your webpage from my blog letting people know that you are ready, willing and able to do full GUI's for them.

Edit: Erm, can't figure out why it's not showing up. The URL is correct.

Comes up as page not found. I tried a few different camel-cases, but all got the same. /Temp/ seems right (/temp/ was not found), so somthing in 'KnobForKriminal.png' is failing at the server..

i prefer the all white one too (the GUI has a lot of black so will look better)

thanks

I added a third it might work to have the black cap. It drops that second tier which is what makes it look a bit messy. Link it adjusted in the previous post.

Hi,
I update the previous file with more knobs, switch, and fader. I created a scaled down version of the knobs so that only the knob is used, no extras or shadows. As before all .psd and knobman files are provided.

Is there a repository for all of these wonderful buttons people have made? Most of the links go to sites non-existent or the files have been removed and we lose.

So, is there a place to grab these things at (a repository)?

[Hlis93]

Sorry I revised my blog they are still there....Since I'm working with a new cpu I compliled all the individual files I had there so everything, and then some, was placed in one file. Helps keep me organized and I wont lose as much next time.

edit. oops they are not in the file. I didn't realize that that might be a probem.



...OK I found them in the recycle bin that would have sucked. Uploaded them heres the file http://www.box.net/shared/v3xclcf7sm

hi,
i don't know how to do a hole in a knob.
i would to do a generic knob where the cap color should be
provided by the background, reflect/hi spot should be visible
over the hole.

It's possible to define the "circle" object as a mask ?

i asked about this as a feature a while back. i'll bring it up again when the developer is more active.

if yet to achieve this, without simply coloring a region, and then deleting it in another program.

iiuc, you want the hole in the middle of the knob, being round?
easy:
just create the body of the knob with a "ring" using the circle primitive.
set the "hole size" with the width parameter of the circle primitive.
for the translucient cap, letting shine through the background, use a the "circle fill" or the "sphere" primitive ... set the alpha of it to wherever in the middle (i.e. 40-50, depends on the background you use, try around) ...

these are only the basics ...
btw, when rendering the knob it's important to use "png with alpa layering" or any other format that allowes to render with alpha layering, so everything that should show the background to some degree will be translucient, and as soon as you drag the png over any background, that will be shown through these areas ...

i hope i understood you correctly, otherwise i might have just spoken out of my arse ...
