Title: DBF 6 Hour Blobs Intro
Post by: Shockwave on June 07, 2006
The DBF metaballs challenge spawned this intro, I'd like to thank everyone for the great routines that they posted, they've been wonderful.
This intro came about mainly because of an idea that I got after watching one of Optimus's demos, Deedline Sax. It had plasmas contained in metaballs.
I wanted to put some 3D inside them instead, once I had that done..  I wanted to make the metaballs look different so I generated a simple texture and a tiled screen to run it all on, you can see the result below.

In fact I think this is probably one of my most strange intros ever, it was really very quickly coded, there's no source in the Zip because it's such a bloody mess but if you scream loud enough for it I'll post it (but don't say I never warned you! It's bad!!).

Thanks to Roly for the great remix on the tune.

Cool.  O0
Well, I released the intro in a few places so hopefully it will pull in a few more members for the forum.

Appears to be running smooth here, looks kind of wierd and I cant say i have seen anything like it before, wonder what the pouet.net pro-comment team will make of it  ;)

(If I were to suggest something it would be new font needed asap cos I seen you use that one to much in FB)

Thanks for the comments folks :)

@ Tindragon, seems to be doing very well so far at Pouet ;) By the way, the font I used has only been released in 2 productions, the reason you've seen it bandied about a lot is because I've posted it here in most of my source for people to be able to have some graphics to get their stuff working.
If you want to help out and do some more binary fonts, I'm sure that the rest of the forum who are learning FB would appreciate it.  :cheers:

Rel's tuts are among the best I've read. Some people can write them, some can't Rel can. :)
