Hacking WiiFlow Boot Animation Competition!

[spacepimp]

EDIT: But Abz, you haven't seen pepxl's yet!

n.b. I've decided to drop the 'like' = vote as a voting process - My bad! - We'll have a week more of submissions, then a multiple choice poll. Hope that's cool.
Please see the OP: http://gbatemp.net/t...on-competition/

Sorry moustachio guy, Spayrosam's logo is very original, crispy and smooth, I love it.
I have no doubts that it will be a winner, I'll not wait till the end of the competition:
@spayrosam can you send me your 10 png frames please.
I'll start using the logo as soon as I get them

The voting should have started after all the submissions.

The voting should have started after all the submissions.

That's why i'm giving a week to complete the submissions, so we can then start voting....
I don't understand - you think I should start the poll now?

No. I was saying mine probably got the most votes because it started out earlier. I didn't realize you had decided not to use the Like system anymore.

Thanks Joostin, this is one of the reasons for the change. When all the submissions appear at the same time in the poll, they all will have equal exposure .

EDIT: I only made the decision to change the voting earlier today, all those who've 'liked' something will be informed (so no votes lost, hopefully). I hope this is a fairer way of doing things and I'm open to suggestions on how to do it better.

I prefer the last one too . I have a couple of suggestions if you're up for refining it a little more?
If the ring faded out (over 8 different greys!) after the spark (so it was darkest in front of the spark, and brightest behind it's path), it could continuously loop and might look a bit smoother. You can have 2 or 4 sparks running round, so there's less distance covered between frames.
Also, you could use 8 different sparks? Maybe rotate, or progressively stretch the same one?
Lastly, the glow around the lettering could be a bit more consistent - perhaps after the letter appears you could have a short sequence of glows around it?

I could probably add the layers of grey to the ring without an issue. I might try that.
As for the 8 sparks, I could do that, but I'm not to fond of the idea.
Also, each letter does glow individually. When the letter first appears, there's a glow. So each letter glows individually until the final frame, where they all glow. So, it already does this. Maybe it's going to fast, and it's hard to notice? Maybe it's because there's a white glow on the blue letters and a blue glow on the white letters?

Thanks for the input man

Just a thought on the voting when you do set up the poll (I think you can edit the first post and add it to this same thread) to set it up with 2 questions, one allowing multiple answers and the other only allowing one answer but have the same options for each.

That way you can vote for the one you think is best but still say which other ones you think are good too.
In the end if it was a close tie between a few of them but you saw on the other question that there was yet another one that while no one put it as first place almost EVERYONE put it as second place, that might actually be the best one to pick.
Almost no one will vote for a good compromise solution as their personal first choice but everyone will think it's a good option.

 

[spacepimp]

Good solution - I'll do this!

1 Which is the best? (pick one)

2 Which ones do you not hate? (multiple choice)


Thanks man, I also wasn't aware you could start a poll after the OP was submitted.

I'd like to change the title of the thread too - is this possible? - could a friendly passing moderator do it?


EDIT: Or could do a 1st, 2nd, 3rd preference and then weight the votes? Bit of a pain, like.

 

[Anon10W1z]

The covers swoop across, like browsing through Wiiflow(ish!) ...bit difficult to tell at this resolution

EDIT:removed a few errant pixels !



175ms delay, 8 frames, 200x100 (lettering about 40 pixels high)

Wow 8 frames? That's it? Nice work!

This animation:

Damn, I just saw the 10 frame limit. I managed to get it down to 11 (the first of which is just a black background, so it can be removed when using a black screen), but it doesn't look nearly as good.

I don't know why it has to be so few frames, but if that means it's out of the competition (not that it really matters to me, I don't use Wiiflow and I had no intention of "competing"), sorry.

With the ring of this is my choice :

K, here are my final 2.
Slower to faster respectively...

I've added them to my submission post in this thread, HERE.
I now have 3 different entries.

Oh yeah

 

[ToddofWar420]

My Final version

hey guys, check this one out! i dunno who made it.



im voting for it!!!

 

[Jiiwah]

Why change boot animation??
I vote to keep the one we already use.

Some animations are good but not really in the style of the default theme. Don't forget that the boot animation must to match with the default theme, doesn't transforme wiiflow into something hideous.

 

[shortz1994]

It's getting kinda boring. Besides, this is only for Wiiflow's Mod by [member='Fix94']
