3dsmax Exporting W/swift3d Plug In Help

[Vatcher]

how many frames is the animation?

[Adacorp]

Perfect i will wait u =)

[LittleNicky78]

wow, that was awful, rendered using gradient fill, came down to 1,5 mb. I´m fixing it now. Should take 5 minutes. Hey how big is this thing gonna be anyway?

[Adacorp]

Big? what do u mean by big? kb size? pixel seize?

well i need to place it at the top left corner of a webpage.. i think the web page will be designed to be best viewed at 1024... soif u are talking about pixels.. i think 200x200 will work.. what do u think about the size? suggestions?

[LittleNicky78]

200x200 is a bit big, but then again companies always want logos to be bigger,bigger,BIGGER!!! I´d say 150x150 would do the trick.

[LittleNicky78]

Man, I can´t seem to get this sucker below 300k without using just one color. And thatway it doesn´t really look like real 3d, looks more like a fake.

You can choose between a faky one color 70k version or a 300+ real 3d version

[Adacorp]

Damn! well... hmmm... do u want me to send u the other files i have got here? i have 3 or 4 max files of the logo... maybe they can help.. yes no?

[LittleNicky78]

I don´t think that´s gonna do much good, I've got the model down to 2000 polygons. I think it might be an idea to export this to transparent gifs and optimize them in photoshop and create an animated gif series.

[LittleNicky78]

eh, I´ll just send you what I´ve got and you´ll just make the call. I´ll send the 300 k version and the 70 k version.

[Adacorp]

hmm ok... hmm idea.... what do u say if u can export it as a vector..(.ai .eps) so i can import it in swift 3d and make the anim?

what do u say..... btw dude.. thanx again 4 all your help...=)

[Adacorp]

ok I have got in mu mail the file logo3.swf that is 700kb right?

this looks kool man... in fact its perfect 4 my needs =)

thank u very veyr much.. if u have more suggestions or files.. send them please...

btw.. please send me the 3dmax file so i can see the differences and learn some =)

thanx

[Adacorp]

wow it looks so great.. the probles is the freaking 700kb... hmmm it is too way much for a normal logo anim right?...... hmmmm... what we can do.... what .. what.... hmmm u are the expert my friend... the only idea i have is that one i said... export to vector.. but the reflectios, and the material which it seems to be formed with will be lost..hmmmmm

[Adacorp]

hm i think i confused u... i got an email from brian... he sent me a 700kb file with a high poly anim.. looks kool...

where are u?

[LittleNicky78]

you should be able to do that on your own. Just import the .swf file into flash and export it from there. It is in vectors allready anyway.

[Adacorp]

[agent vivid]

so how much did you drop the filesize finally?

[LittleNicky78]

Got it down to 70 K but that was single color without shadow. The rotating 3d logo thingy will always be too big on bandwith.
