Armat Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Armat, flash is the tool of the devil. If you ever make a website, keep it simple and clean. If you have photoshop, it can help you automatically make picture galleries ... but they will not be too fancy ... just like "photo albums". But it is a start and very easy to do. Sip, I did use the photoshop gallery and works well.I am however more concern about the page load time then anything else.Nothing worst then waiting freakin five min to see a site.I guess it is in my nature always to tinker with things...

DominO123 Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 (edited) Vectorials are very different then other images, since they are more of mathematical formulas, the image information is not discontinued, what I mean, is that when you zoom it, you could pratically zoom in to infinit without having the picture pixelized, since the information is stored in vectorial, suppose that you have a mathematical ligne, you can always zoom in without any discontinuity. This is very pratical for the type of art you do, and more to this, each tone of color that is closed by other tones, is independent, what that means is that, you cut pratically all your image to pieces and reassemble it back. In flash, VERY EASILY, you can creat transparancies for some parts, and when they cross pass, you will have multiple tones of each colors mixing while each separation is taking form to form your final picture, which will be your painting. You can animate all those, zoom in and out without any deterioration of the images, because it is vectorial... If you want to have a better picture of what vectorial is... word processing softwares such as Word, produces their letters in a vectorial forms, you can increase their sizes theoritically to infinit without ever having a deterioration of the letters... because the information is "pure" mathematical formulas.

Sasun Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I think Corel is also vectorial right? But i have a trouble using it, too many wistles on it. I was unable to make an animated gif shrink vectorial. Domino, how can i do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unable to make an animated gif shrink vectorial. Domino, how can i do it? You can easily do it by using Flash. With flash you can export on .gif... I only use Corel for static images, not animations. Ah and yes, Corel is vectorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Thanks Domino,I will look into it.Great tip. I will try to make a demonstration tomorrow for you, it takes about 5 minutes to do a basic stuff with your painting I converted... I'll show you what I mean by then.

DominO123 Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 (edited) Here is the promessed demonstration, it's just basic, of course you can do this with all the parts, rotate them, move them in x,y,z, in a 3D dimention. http://turkeydenial.250free.com/tst.swf May take time to load... I have not included a loading bar, so don't think it freezed, just wait until it loads. Edited November 7, 2003 by Fadix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Domino ... that looks great. However, just try to zoom in and you'll see "vectorial" can't magically improve the resolution above the original GIF If you create "vectorial" then yah, you are totally right. Anyway, nice!!!!!!

Anyway, nice!!!!!!Yep, you are right, but there is a difference, I won't see those pixelized craps... and there is many tricks to hide vectorial conversion details problems which I have not used... The purpouses of the vectorial here was to do what ever you want with the picture, which you could not do with a typical Gif. There is many possibilities like adding reflection, light etc... things that would be impossible to do with normal pictures... of course there is the thing about the vectorial not being able to reproduce every details(since if I were to increase the accuracy, it will take a lot more kbs than jpgs), but there is tricks here as well, like morfing the final vectorial image with the actual real pic in JPG, which will hide any observable defect associated with vectorials.

DominO123 Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Here, in this cases, the jpg image replaces the finishing compleated vectorial one, hidding the lack of details. http://turkeydenial.250free.com/efd.swf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very thankful. If you want any tips or help with flash, just tell me. Since you can build your entire virtual gallerie on a flash window, with buttons, zoom in and out, a little like Quicktime VR effect.

Armat Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Domino j,Thank you for the offer.I am more concern about the loading time.Why? I will probably display perhaps thirty or forty jgs and would'nt Flash slow it down?Afterall I know that I personnaly hate to wait for a page to load when it takes almost a min.

DominO123 Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 (edited) This is not a priblem if the loading is made by streaming... Lets give you an example. Suppose you have 30 jpgs, the virtual gallerie start with a presentation like the one I showed you, but more complext, and with a better size reduction efficiency... when this presentation is shown, flash will only load those pages, not the 30 jps... so you have only to wait for the loading of that page... later, in the virtual gallerie, your paintings are shown in a very little size exposed like in a real gallerie, in an artificial wall... again, when this happens, Flash will only load those reduced images, you can expose them by 3 division and by wall corner, whhat I mean, is that those reduced sizes are loaded by 10 Jpgs in a time, on the wall that face you, than you turn on the right, you will have the other 10 paintines, to the left, the rest of the 10 paintings... So, first Flash will load 10 reduced size paintings, that would take about 50 kb or less... it will load only what you choose... so you don't have to wait to load it everything... Then, when you choose one of those small pictures, a zooming is done, and on the middle of the zooming, the picture is replaced by a big sized version of the image... that Flash will load, when you click on the small image. This way, more than a MB of Flash movie will require pratically no loading time. Edited November 8, 2003 by Fadix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anileve Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Armat such impressive artwork! I am a huge fan of impressionism, surrealism, and abstract art myself. Although my artistic skills didn’t go further than drawing girls with triangular heads, after my grandmas rough criticism of their disproportional form, I was traumatized and decided to put my pencil to rest forever. Van Gogh, especially his “Café Terrace” which hangs on my wall, Picasso, and Dali who is my idol, are among my favorites. My dream is to visit Barcelona one day, I know that I will be mesmerized by the art and culture of Spain and talk about architecture of Gaudi who’s imagination surpasses many artists with his immense creativity. Azat, I read that you’ve been there, my envy is causing my complexion to change from olive to dark green. Oh, I don’t know if you guys are familiar with Hakop Hakopian, he is also a prominent Armenian Artist who’s work is very melancholic, nostalgic and captivating. If anyone wants to see Armenia in it’s poetic beauty they should take a look at his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamavor Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Armat, Dude you are Good! Your style amazingly resambles the style of another Armenian by name Edward (don't remember his last name, but I will try to find some of his works on line. He is pretty well known).
