Post by: Emil_halim on May 04, 2007: nice woek shocky. :)

but i have a suggestion , why you do not fade out the sound when mosue botton clicked.

I have used to fade the sound with picture , it will be more attractive.

Because the original Amiga intro does not do this :)

Post by: Emil_halim on May 04, 2007: ok , i see .

BTW i think you allow the modefication while remake the Amiga demos.

Post by: ninogenio on May 04, 2007: love that sin`d background text with drop shadow, excellent remake mate thumbs up :goodpost:.

Post by: Shockwave on May 05, 2007: Thanks Nino :) The first time I ever saw this intro I thought it was a drop shadow myself.. You have to take a closer look to see how the effect actually works, it's a nice idea, but then again Melon Dezign had lots of nice ideas!

Emil, sorry, I was asked by someone in Unleashed to make a conversion as accurately as possible, I will not alter a classic work of art like this cracktro. Why don't you try a remake of it? :)

Post by: Emil_halim on May 05, 2007: ok shocky , i try to remake it but you are very smart coder so i think my try will not work. :)

Post by: Shockwave on May 05, 2007: I think your conversion will be fine mate.

Post by: ninogenio on May 05, 2007: youve got me intersted now shockwave is it that you draw a first pass of the logo in a gray shades with a diffrent sin value to the second pass?
Title: Re: CLASSIC COMP - CRYSTAL + MELON
Post by: Shockwave on May 05, 2007: One copy of the logo is sined three ways :) One is sined two ways.

Both are sined vertically, also both have a sine stretch effect, one is sined horizontally and where they overlap you get the green colour.

Very easy to do this sort of bitplane effect on an Amiga, this is the beauty of this intro really. It was a little bit harder to make the effect on the PC than on an Amiga.
