| Reflection + Gradual Alphablending on a Layout |
| << < (2/8) > >> |
| youki:
2 preview of layouts that are "Work in progress" inspired from shock_ one too , featuring reflection, gradual alpha etc..... These are done by a real Artist (not me!!!!) , totoleouf.. |

sing out if you need the original .psds! |

That's pretty sweet.... how does it look from a system performance level, though? does it affect scrolling speed and such? In fact on an unrelated note does using Movies affect scroling speed in Atomic? --- Quote from: Aurich on February 15, 2007, 06:06:11 pm ---Nice. I find it frustrating that Mala doesn't support true alpha channels personally. --- End quote --- Yeah, me too actually... It's especially frustrating when I'm creating custom messages or console pictures to be used, because I have to coordinate the BG of the entire layout with the BG of the "snap", when I would much rather just being able to make it transparent.. |

But it does not consume more processor power that other effect in Atomic. The reflection itself does not use lot of processor , the thing that consume more power is alpha blending. (gradual or not) . In clear if you make a layout using 4 layer differential scrolling, 7 reflection zone, 15 videos , and if you use alpha blending on each object. You will need a P4 4GigaHz... If you do a reasonnable layout, with said one background scrolling, video snap , one or 2 reflection zone , and few objects moving , a 700 mhz machine will be enough. For instance, the layout with the reflection only the snap. (the first image i posted) , use a video as "selection" in the list. Runs perfectly on my Celeron 533Mhz. The first one (the video) is not really usable on the celeron , the video have been taken on my P4 3 Gighz. , but processor used is only at 50% . So i guess it still should be ok on a 1.5ghz computer. --- Quote --- In fact on an unrelated note does using Movies affect scroling speed in Atomic? --- End quote --- If your machine is good enough not. If the layout is too complex for your machine yes. it really depends of the layout. Knowing that Layout are really scalable , and there are lot of "tips" we can apply to optimize layouts. |

The movies also come up instantly when I select them on the list. Youki - this is looking great! |
