on: October 20, 2003, 02:39:21 pm
ok, i need some graphic artists to get their butts in gear

I need a splash screen for FreeSpace Developer Studio - ie one of those little image screens a lot of programs put up during initialization - such as PSP, MS Dev Studio, Eclipse, etc


if you're not familiar with FS Dev Studio - it will be an integrated fs project environment - VP builder/editor (inheriting code from VPCS with improvements), new integrated POF editor (inheriting code from PCS with improvements), Mission Background Utility (once again inheriting), syntax hiliting table editor (maybe even eventually a parser to load it all up into nice data tables and verify a group of tables are valid / generate code off what you tell it)


The contest is open until further notice the best design(s) will be chosen to be used as the splash screen(s) [i can use more than one on a random or rotating selection]

Not promising anything, but I'd think it would be wise to at least specify what size you would like the image.

The red text is a bit randomly placed, other than that I like it!

General suggestions to potential submitters:

1) Wireframe and/or wireframe->textured model shots are good for this kind of stuff
2) Collages (blending of multiple seperate images together) are the ideal thing for splash screens
3) Less is more

Hope that helps! :D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

if you want wireframes, download some version of modelview, and use print screen.

I'll work on one when I get home... something that doesnt involve particles would be a nice change from what I've been trying to do recently..
