The different colour of the WL logo background makes the parchment look a bit strange. Can you try to adjust the parchment colour?

And the fact, that the parchment is straight in the upper part but not in the lower, seems odd, too.

Chuck, you are awesome.
What is the guy in the upper left corner doing? He's a bit creepy.
And I really love how the pictures turn out, when they are rendered with AA turned on using the Catmull-Rom filter face-wink.png

Thanks! For some reason, I like the sound of that. face-smile.png

face-grin.png I'm undecided as to whether he is just bored, or tired, or maybe he just lost. face-wink.png

Thanks for your comment. I actually turn over-sampling (anti-aliasing) off when I render the scenes. It actually yields a better result in the game engine.

Another thing about icons on the website: There was a discussion about the "unread posts" icons quite some time ago. Is there someone, who could provide better alternatives for them?

I have worked up some potential icons for the forum folders and posts:
Original "folder_new" (unread): ofn Original "folder" (read - has animation to depict scrolling text): of

New Candidates:

folder folder folder_closedeye fc folder_eye fe
folder_star fs folder_doc fd document doc
document_closedeye dc document_eye de document_star ds

I propose the following:

  • folder_star fs or folder_doc fd could be used to designate a thread with new, unread posts (I could even combine the two to superimpose the star onto the folder_doc button. fds)
  • folder folder could be used for threads with no unread posts

Comments?

Smileys ?

I was browsing through the website media folder and discovered media/img/smileys.

I know we can use face-smile :), face-sad :(, face-smile-big :)), face-grin face-grin.png and face-wink ;), but I cannot figure out how to invoke some of the others including face-angel, face-crying, face-devilish, face-glasses, face-kiss, face-monkey, face-plain and face-surprise.

Any ideas as to how to use these, or are only some of them functional?

Regarding the folder/post icons: I must confess, that I like at the current ones that the paper is not straight but looks like laid on a table or sailing in the air. face-wink.png But I remember, someone said, he thought it was a loaf of bread, so that don’t has to be the optimal form.

From the new ones I prefer the folder_star/folder in the forum overview and the document_star/document in the thread view.

About the smileys: I found

  • face-angel: O : - ) (O:-))

  • face-crying: : ' - ( (:'-()

  • face-devilish: > : - ) (>:-))

  • face-glasses: 8 - ) (8-))

  • face-plain: : - | (:-|)

  • face-surpirse: : - O (:-O)

My try of face-kiss (:-*) is unfortunately not correct, for face-monkey I don’t have a clue. But there’s one, I’m missing: face-tongue.png

Edit: How do I get face-smile-big?
