Testing a swift menu system

[98svt]

Posted this in the swish site check forum. Made most of it in swift, nothing real complicated. But I'm curious to see what some swift 3-D users think about it.

The first version was 80kb. So I changed the fill to average cartoon, and changed the layout to 100 x 100 pixels. Cut it in half.

Swift rocks, being vector images, you can make it as small as you like, then just scale it up.

Thanks.

I liked the concept, but not the colours (but my personal taste counts for nothing). It loaded quick and I can see you have made a few alteration from the last site check. It reminded me of navigation on this site...

All nice work though. I know what you mean as well Gerbick, I feel inspired now too (unfortunately I have too much on the go at the moment to do anything about it.

Cheers,

Believe me, I considered the colors. At least for the main "floor plan". The roll over colors are much brighter then my current site. All black, white and grey, kinda "gloomy" if you ask me.
Still in the experimental stages. Might use it, might not.?

Thanks for the input.

Mike,

I like it! Very cool, clean, quick, and easy 3D navigation layout. My only suggestion would be to add more to the text tags that swing up. I would recommend changing the boxes to a different shape, use a unique font bolded, and add a blur effect as they swing up. I think it will add some visual appeal to the menu system. Only minor suggestions...really like the 3D layout. Make sure to show us the final product.

Well, the color had to go. It's still there, but i'm in the process of something new. Same concept, just a little smaller and more movement. I'm trying to keep it all within 800x300!

I like the idea with the blur.
I'll be sure to update this thread as it progress'
