What are you "working" on?
Tuesday, January 9, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Community
I was just curious to know what everyone is working on at the moment. I was wanting to make a Valentines Day widget, but I don't think I will have time to finish it before then.
If you have any "teasers", feel free to post them if you wish.

We can safely assume that my "Skin" skin will never happen from me. I suck. Oh well. At least I am better looking that both skinhit and Po' Smedley.

Is this something like what you had in mind? Please, forgive the crudeness of it, but I don't have a freaking clue what I'm doing. I just thought the idea was neat, and have contemplated a few times myself.
I had to do the thing with the stitches on the taskbar, cause there was no way to stretch or tile the skin without losing the 'texture' of it. If I get it done, I think I'll call it 'Hannibal'.
I'm running dual monitors which is why it looks this way.

Noah!
That's what I was thinking of, but yours is much "prettier" than what I had in mind. In my mind there was hair and moles and freckles.
Thinking about it, no one wants a realistic skin skin. "Airbrushed" is probably a better sell.
I also imagined differently "hued" subskins.
Great work as usual Po'

I've gotten tons of feedback at DA on the preview. Mostly wanting more blood, stitches, and the odd request for gaping wounds (ewww). I'm torn between keeping it simple and doing 2 versions, the second for the 'freaks'. Moles and hair and such had occurred to me, but in a more 'cannibalistic' kinda way, using bones and such for this and that.
The hard part is keeping a realistic look without it being too disgusting, if you know what I mean. Also, I am using 'real' skin textures, so it creates problems with stretching (distortion) and tiling (seams), but I think I can work a majority of that out.
Buttons...hmmmm...torn between tattoo's and simulated body piercings/studs. What do you think?
One guy at DA told me it was 'too clean/slick'. I dunno. I want it to look like skin , but not so much detail it would be too freakish to use or look at. Thinking of adding a 'tattoo needle buzz' for some sounds.

Agree that this preview is clean and slick. But again, that's probably a better choice for most users. I like the concept of a "freak" version.
Some stainles steel looking piercings would make interesting min/max/close buttons and a ring for the corner grab would look sweet.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing what you end up doing. {Is this a current project, or a back burner kinda thing?]

It's current. I had thought about it before, but was thinking it was either too obvious or too much trouble...and was waiting to see if a more 'experienced' skinner would try it. Like I said, I don't have a clue when it comes to making a skin.

Here is the application I've been working on to learn WPF. It's a very early version, so there is still a lot of UI bugs visible (among others problems ).Â
Note (for Stardock
): While the logons shown here are LogonStudioVista logons, if I ever release it, it won't support logonvista files (unless you write a filesupport dll like I did).

Thanks. I have gotten great feedback on it here and at DA, along with tons of suggestions for it. This will probably be my first complete skin because it has generated so much positive feedback and I'm pretty obsessed with it right now. My only problems are time and figuring out all the little things that go into it. But I'm working hard at it.
