Hey guys,

I wanted to show off my Milkshape made gold star.

(i spent lots of time on the gold-material)

That's a yellow star, for me.

Anyhoo... are you aware that there's a company called Goldstar Software already? Or a DVD/TV/Video manufacturer called Goldstar?

Spose you could call it Yellowstar...

How would i get a better gold effect?
I was thinking to cubemap it also in B3D, that would at least make it more shiny.

About "Goldstar" being a company. nope i did not know that.
but i checked for europe, and there is not a company called goldstar whois selling or making games or anything in that line.

anyone like the idea how the titlescreen is done? (its just a quick sketch.)

If the background to the splash-screen was red it'd look like a Communist flag.


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#7]
lol!!! k, so i need to change that xD ( i didn't notice until you said it, haha)


JustLuke(Posted 2007) [#8]
Well, maybe its only weird people like me who would notice that. I do think that you should change the colour of the backroung or the star, or outline the logo with a dark colour, because light yellow on a white background strains the eyes a bit, you know?


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#9]
Its just a placeholder for the 3D logo im going to make. See it as a blueprint :)

Well the star itself is quite nice :)

XD That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.

Gold is a lot more orange than yellow - you may want to look at that unless you're going to call yourself Yellow Star.


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#13]
this is the coloors i applied.. aw well ill try harder :(

[edit]
okies, well i cant get it better than this using colorshading in milkshape.

tada!

If you are going to use it in Blitz3D, you could maybe apply a spheremap to it. The spheremap is demonstrated in the blitz 3d samples->mak->teapot sample. However, personally, I like your yellow start with the blue background the best.


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#15]
hehe :) so much for a star. Well thanks to all for taking the time to reply. It realy helps me to get the best out of it.

@b32, yes good idea, i will try that.

[edit]
Behold the gold!!

[imghttp://www.icetec.net/star3.jpg]

unfortunatly i don't get the results in Blitz3D as i get with milkshape :(

[edit2]
w00t. Saving it to DX8.1 helped.

Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#16]
hmm, after all i decided to stick with the colorshaded star... it all gets too... i don't know.. it just doesn't look right.


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#17]
im going to add the title in 3D also =)


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#18]

-mission accomplished-


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#19]
I just put my new website online: http://www.goldstarpcgames.com/?r=blitzbasic (just a logo a.t.m.)

(oh, and the star now has eyes ^^ )


Xzider(Posted 2007) [#20]
Haha...Thats pretty cool.

The color shades on the site are a bit odd -- the logo on the site looks really washed out on my screen. :-?

The the blue + yellow are both too light, so instead of complementing each other they both draw equally much attention, which results in a washed out look. If there were a little more contrast or shading it would probably look much better.


Trader3564(Posted 2007) [#22]
ok, i will take that in account.

meenwhile, updates on progress can be found in my worklog:
http://www.blitzbasic.com/logs/userlog.php?user=5956&log=1458

The last update is about the first title i will be releasing when Goldstar PC Games opens.
