Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community

After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

Holy Cow!!
The cupcakes spins!  That is sooo cool!
I love the hat on the monkey!

Few things:
  • For some reason I had to run this in compatibility mode
  • In desktop mode the cupcake was choppy
  • I still found the help to be a bit confusing.
This is awesome!  Great work!

For some reason I had to run this in compatibility mode

This may be because I exported it with the older version of Dx. The newer version was creating trouble with rotation and alignment.

In desktop mode the cupcake was choppy

This may be cause desktop mode needs some more cpu resources. Sometimes it is choppy in my puter too(you know 256mb RAM and dont cry this time) but most of the time it runs nicely.

I still found the help to be a bit confusing.

I will make it the way you suggested(that b'day card).

Thanks. All credit to your nice ideas buddy.
