"How to" request for Xion
The ripple effect
Thursday, August 23, 2007 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Skinning
I was thinking* about butchering a Xion skin again.
I thought wouldn't it be neat to have a "watery" skin with a VU meter that had a ripple effect like in the T-Rex scene in Jurassic Park.
Something like this:
If anyone knows of a tutorial to assist, I'd appreciate the help. I'm a cheap bastard** and am using GIMP and Paint.net if that helps. I could probably translate it (poorly) from some other app.
Thanks!
* I'll post back when I fail miserably
** I'm not really a bastard, I just wished I was as a youth. [You'd have to know my father or maybe have *had* a father as a teen.] I am, however, miserly.

That's not my image . . it's just a reference.
Thanks for the tip . .time to start picking apart a skin with an obvious thumper.

I'm assuming you are talking about an animated skin?

Zubaz the animation of my speakers for example it's just different size shadow/light and weigth of the same picture. With a water picture transparency should be cool too.
