    whoa, who did this. The animation sucks. Is it just supposed to wobble like that or is it suppose to revolve and the 3d guy just forgot to fix the functions in track view. Also. This thing is kinda high poly, so it´s not surprising that the overall .swf file was that big. Also how do you want this, wireframe, flat, flat shaded or with highlights and everything? You gotta be a bit more specific.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    If you want shadows and textures this thing´s gonna be huge. I´ll re-animate the file so that it spins like you said from right to left.

    Wireframe is basically a wiremesh of the object.

    I´ll let you know when this is done. Shouldn´t take too long.

    Thanks, I track one is a remix I made from the theme to the movie: Ghost in a Shell.

    Track 2 is just some stuff I threw together and track 3 is actually by aphrodite I think. I´ve been meaning to switch that out for one of my own.

    Well it´s ready, I got it down to 758K with slight shadows, I think we need to skip the shadows all together. That way it might go as low as 500K but the polygon count in this thing is way to high, around 31'000. This thing will never go below 500K.

    Let me know what you think. I´m sending you the file right now.

    dude, I allready did, didn´t you get my e-mail?

    Do you want me to change the colors. The edge of the logo, the edtruded one is really what´s causing the huge filesise. If I were to take the edge out, we could squeese this sucker down.

    What do you think?

    what about using the multires modifier by pulling out un-necissary polygons while still keeping its shape

    It´s not that, the model has a circle lofted along a path around the flat logo which creates a smooth blown out edge along the entire rim of the (rather complex to begin with) logo. If this were to be taken out the polygon count would probably drop down from 31'000 to around 1'000. Which would mean that the .swf file could be shrunk considerably. Resulting in faster download for the user. Which should be a consern because 500-700k for a revolving logo is just way too much.

    you realise that when rendering to swf vectors that the picture map on the logo won't be there

    hold on, I´ll send you another one in 5-10 mins without the rim. You don´t have to get the background color in this. Instead put this into a movie clip and put that ontop of the background than you´ll get your green backdrop. Either that or load the whole thing in on a seperate movie level.

    vatcher: yes I realise that but the picture is very similar to a procedural texture and it can easily be simulated. Although I think It would be better to just use a plain color logo.

    for what i understood the circle is making the file huge right? if thats the problem i have this idea:

    maybe u can delete it.. and i will make a circle in swift 3d... and then mask them in dreamwaver since the export of swift 3d make transparency...

    about the edges.. make it at your own style =)

    nonono, the sircle isn´t so big. It´s the edge running along the rim of the logo. I took that out and it went from 31'000 poligons (sections) down to about 5'000 poligons. I'm rendering it out now without the rim. It should be soon and then I'll send it to you.


    I´ve gotta run, I´ve got some stuff to take care of. But I´ll be back in about 20-30 mins. The thing should be rendered and ready by the time I get back.
