Hi Michael, > If you like it, I could render you a highres version of my current splash > screen: http://www.bluebeamentertainment.com/xine/smokeyglass_splash.png I'm actually interested in rendering my own logo. What software was used to create the logo ? I've tried something in jahshaka (http://www.jahshaka.com/) and povray, which didn't look too bad, but I'd like to get the font as used for the default xine logo in it. btw: sorry for faking the reply (I know it will end up as a new threat). My ISP cleared my whole mail account so I couldn't reply to your original message and instead read it from the xine mailing archive. regards, Marcel |

I thought it didn't look too bad, except for the occasional crash :-) Doing something with text and backgrounds mapped to some objects works, so for the things I wanted to do it seemed appropriate to use it. I don't have a need for a large commerial package. It's also quite easy to learn how to use it. Within one hour I had something finished already and I'm a complete newbie at these things. > This is the Gunship font which you can get here: > http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=1327 Great. That will become useful. Thanks, Marcel |

I've done some small things in povray and blender. I'm very new at those packages. Anyways, this attempt made me study povray and blender over the past weeks. My intention is to use blender because my goal is an animated background in xine so that my projector (CRT) doesn't show burn-in in case I may fall asleep during some boring movie :-) A small example I made can be seen here: http://members.home.nl/mphm.janssen/files/xine-bird-1024x768.png It's my second attempt to create something using povray and I know things can be done lots better than this....(the background is stolen from what's installed with KDE on my system) I would like to know whether there are any wishes/requirements regarding the following issues : 1) animated or still image or both ? 2) colours ? any limits or wishes ? 3) Aspect ratio : Should the logo fit nice for all aspect ratios or no need to look after that ? 4) is background sound possible for the logo in xine ? 5) xine.sf.net :change it to xinehq.de in the logo ? 6) any other whishes/requirements ? This weekend I'll probably continue with blender but it certainly will take a lot of time for me to create something useful. Regards, Marcel |

The logo should use a standard aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9, maybe 16:10). At least at the borders, a black background color would be fine, so the lack bars added on displays that have a different aspect ration don't hurt too much. > 4) is background sound possible for the logo in xine ? Sure. However, the logo isn't looped, AFAIK. It's just played once, displaying the last frame forever... > 5) xine.sf.net :change it to xinehq.de in the logo ? I vote for "yes". > 6) any other whishes/requirements ?

This thread has reminded me of a problem I have had in the past with xine. when watching on non-computer monitors the placement of text and information windows causes the overscan to clip the text. could I suggest that any content xine creates itself should follow some guidelines regarding placement near the edges of screen so as to avoid this clipping. The BBC had some useful guidlines, I found a couple of links. The second appears to be a glossy version of the first although it gives more background info. http://www.ebu.ch/CMSimages/en/tec_text_r95-2000_tcm6-4777.pdf http://www.ebu.ch/trev_280-baker.pdf It doesn't look like the xine logo will suffer this but I think a lot of users would appreciate it if this were kept in mind. Any chance of a dark background (possibly black) for a xine logo, don't mind if its not the default. current one looks good though. Simon |

Good point, on my dxr3 I saw that the "t" from xine.sf.net is gone due to overscan. Thanks for the info, Marcel |

Hi all, just thought I'd provide the logo animation and xine-ui splash screen I currently use: Logo animation: http://www.bluebeamentertainment.com/xine/smokeyglass_logo.m1v Splash picture: http://www.bluebeamentertainment.com/xine/smokeyglass_splash.png If you like it, we could use it. I can also make modifications, if someone has suggestions. Michael -- die_if_kernel("Whee... Hello Mr. Penguin", current->tss.kregs); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/arch/sparc/kernel/traps.c |

Hi Mike, > very nice ! any chance it could rendered with a splash of colour? the > animation could have grey clouds parting to show a golden xine, for > instance, signifying xine's 1.0 release? I could certainly make a 1.0 edition and I also think a little colour would make the logo stand out a bit more. But before I get started, I would like to hear more comments, since I have to bother a friend of mine for the rendering job (this thing would take days to render on my PII400, even with a "farm" of two Athlons it took its time). I should also add that this was produced using commercial software, because the proprietary==evil faction might have a problem with that.

The goal was to create something not too fancy and have reasonable contrast regarding the characters and background. I'm still in the learning process, so this takes quite a bit of time..... More to follow.... regards, Marcel |

It look like a Dolby > trailer ;-) I did some work again on this logo and a new one (inspired by a blender tutorial and universal logo:-)) http://members.home.nl/mphm.janssen/files/xine_logo/animated/gold/xine-gold4-divx.avi http://members.home.nl/mphm.janssen/files/xine_logo/animated/xine_spin/xine-spin3-divx.avi Last frames I have saved as stills : http://members.home.nl/mphm.janssen/files/xine_logo/still/ All material can be found here: http://members.home.nl/mphm.janssen/files/xine_logo/ Is it possible to store them on xinehq.de somehow ? My homepage is not very large and probably full in no-time.... If anyone has some suggestions, I may try to get some other work done (although I will be mostly away this month). Also, I've put the blender files on the site, so anyone can give blender (www.blender3d.org) a try to render their own high-res (or different aspect ratio) version of these animations. Note that the original blender avi's are mjpeg or raw avi format and very large (also very nice quality). The ones on my site are compressed and I've tried to make it reasonable quality.
