er months of buggering around in C4D I think I might just be ready to try pull off a true Chrome windowblind.. You know. not just metallic looking gradients and highlights, but real, rendered, reflective materials and about as far away from Vista as I can possibly imagine going, at least regarding material composition.
Finished.
This is going to be interesting....I'll be watching.
Go, v!
Gonna be BeOS? Atari?
The way you are layering/ stepping the graphics looks wise. It will take the metal look up a notch.

There he goes...teasing us again. Just a tiny glimpse of the future...it's shiny, it's reflective, it's gorgeous...aaaaand, that's right...it's worth waiting for.
Good luck john...it's a hard work play with the textures and painting margins but i'm sure that your blind will be a success!
absoluty awesome man..i know it will be the bomb if its coming from you
hmmm....it'll give him something to reflect on for awhile.......or reflect...off....
*is intrigued*
il be looking out for it sounds good
Just don't make it too reflective.... got enough mirrors around here, and I don't wanna be looking into my monitor seeing me looking back out at me.
Thank you.
Thanks everyone, ur avatar is funny Starkers
great concept
Yeah, Doc made it for me... did a bloody fine job on it, too.
BTW, John, I happen to like metallic skins a lot, they go great with dark desktop themes, so yeah, I'll be looking out for this one with great interest.
John, you just keep getting better, so I can only imagine the mirrored look this one is bound to have! A windowblind I can see myself in....gives a whole new meaning to the word 'blind'.
Be careful v if starkers looks too hard he might break it. Reflection reflects back and BAM!......all gone!
umm... just so everyone isn't expecting too much, u wont... be able to see your own reflection in the theme graphics..
Oh...boogers!
unless you make individual orders.....I believe he's taking individual orders for your 'own reflection' start menu....
Well that's one order I WON'T be making.... too many damned mirrors around here already.
The only time I feel a mirror comes in handy is when I wanna check to see I still have my...... er, feet.
Even when it's done I won't be able to dl it...it'd break when mine face looks out of it back at me...scary!!
But don't let that stop you vStyler...you da man!
John, just overlay an image of your pretty face on all the images so all the uglies don't have to see themselves.
Thanks, Mark!
I wouldn't fear the image, Cap'n...but *sumpin' else* bein' reflekted back at yer.
Now there's an idea...
What sumpin' else? Last time I was game to look in the mirror I noticed a second navel...
..... the second being where I remember an appendage used to be.
you got married, suffer the consequences of it changing to a vajayjay.
