hundreds (a few) layers, the buttons are for easier display of the home screen text.

appears to be the NC2 box cover - filtered, Blued out, with some Very proffessional lettering down the side - in short sexual.

Doh! :o

I thought I recognised it from somewhere...

Ascension

Only the render is from the box art.. everything else is mine, the grunge/retro style background etc.. and even the render is tweaked to fit the background ;)

also the etched 'Ascention' on the gun was by meh!

Ascension
02-02-05, 19:39
knowing how much you browse these forums I made you this one:
http://farcryuniverse.com/images/home1.jpg

just lemmi know if the icons are moveable etc :)

Lexxuk

http://www.dgwebb.force9.co.uk/asc.jpg

Aye, all are moveable and can be any colour too and ohh that one looks pretty :D

/edit - the carrier thing though, I'm not on Orange, I'm T-Mobile UK (ok, I'm on Virgin, but if I tell people here I'm on a virgin they get the wrong idea :p) which is larger, so mine wouldnt actually fit :(

Ascension
02-02-05, 20:05
Okay, i made another:

Removed the MRU bar replaced it with the Windows Media plugin (it fit so well :D) Removed clock too (its optional, red just didnt *fit*)

http://www.dgwebb.force9.co.uk/brushed.jpg

Thats what I'm using, the digital clock is in the bottom semicircle (large/bold) appointments in the square, date carrier just below the rectangle (square) and the iconbar at top, it looks sweet :D

/edit - hard to explain without a screenshot >.<

@ Xeno - its the Orange SPV, though I wanna get the e200 because it has 2003 instead of 02 which I have, though there is a way to get 02 on my SPV its not recommended (means I can have mp3/wma ringtones instead of wav n stuff)

my bit of rendering on the blue bit hehehe, and of course SEX :)

The Orange bit is the screenshot, I have to press * to take a screenshot which brings up Orange, I couldnt find the software that lets me control my mobile from my PC :(

/edit - if ur bored Asc...

http://www.modaco.com/screenshots/[164]Longhorn.jpg

Try that :p

/edit2 - it has the date and time twice :confused:

/edit2.5a - one I was thinking which I think would look really kewl, having a background thats fixed, like the flag thing or something, but with a filter applied to it, then all the icon bits floating using the drop shadow effect?

Ascension
02-02-05, 23:22
well first off:

No about the next skin, please explain what you mean, i dont get it o_O

Lexxuk
02-02-05, 23:37
poorly drawn, quickly done to show example..

http://www.dgwebb.force9.co.uk/exam.jpg

All the bits where time/date etc.. go, all floating, and multi level floating too, ohh ya, floating above the other floats..

- back ground
- - - float one (date)
- - - - - float two (time)

now that sounds really like it would look fantastic

/edit - doesnt have to be the union jack btw, I just liked the effect the jack gave when filtered with the wrap filter in photoshop hehehe

The signal bar is static afaik, it can only be on the right hand side of the screen, there also is no room to put the numbers for the text/email/mms (the email plugs into outlook so it can mount up with the por.. err... technical emails i get :angel: )

thats what I use to piece the bits together :)

Also uploaded it to http://www.modaco.com where people who are nuts about smartphones can go "OMG HAWT!" or something, ok, they wont, they are over 12 years old, so will appreciate the clean design :D
