Hey thanks fellas!

Cool! The motion-blur and colour-scheme make it pretty authentic.
I think it's more LCD than LED, though.
How about adding some glow to the brighter lights?

Hehe yeah I guess I could have made the graphics look more like LCDs

In my childhood I remember there being a shop on the way to the town center, it was just a converted house but it had a sign like this (without the dot ball), the sign had this text that used to blink off and on, the lights were orange. Only when you got up quite close to the window you'd notice that it was made out of little LED's.

Back then it was really unusual to see such a sign, it must have cost them a few quid.

i really like this!!

i think it might have looked better with a diffrent color system maybe a bit more viberant red and id like to have seen the led's slightly bigger and rounded, but its definitly cool for a first go!

A future cometition theme maybe?

That's really cool, I love it.

However, the black dots in the sphere (normal of 0?) spoil it for me. Perhaps either ignore those points or after you've done the normal calculation for brightness, add a static value to bring the 0 values to the value of the 'inactive' LEDs?

Just my two penneth

Shockwave · « **Reply #11 on:** November 28, 2008 »

Fair point about the black dots, It's just a warm up though. The real one is coming

Looks solid. Great job.

bikerboy · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2008 »

wow great job man really nice

may i suggest a colorchange in the ball a really smooth one, those days leds come in many colors so there are a lot of color variations to choose from.

Pixel_Outlaw · « **Reply #14 on:** November 30, 2008 »

"You may use any combination of colours for your leds but each led must be a single colour only. for example a red led is red and not any other colour."

1 hue per light looks like.

bikerboy · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2008 »

yeah you're right didn't notice that one

Shockwave · « **Reply #16 on:** December 01, 2008 »

The next thing is looking a bit better...

bikerboy · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2008 »

can't wait to see it looks really nice

Hezad · « **Reply #18 on:** December 01, 2008 »

Looks really cool shockie !

benny! · « **Reply #19 on:** December 01, 2008 »

Thats look indeed very techy and old-schoolish. Really
