Media Portal Custom Start Up + chime.

NewUser · 2008-06-20, 02:27

EDIT: Please move to general for media portal. Not the TV-server 1 general...

I know how to replace the Vista orb animation and the accompanying sound. My photoshop skills isnt up to stratch. This is to make media portal more "stand alone"

Anyone want to take a stab?

The formats are:

300x300 pixels
5 Frame animation
full color.

Will post the sound format later on.

I would too love to see that M$ ORB gone !! and see a MPII 3D logo instead

have you tried Cinema 4D ? from Maxon (Im sure they are able to convert the animation to your requirements)

please post results

Thanks

I know all the technical details to replace it. As of now, I have nothing better to replace it with. Does anyone here have good photoshop skills? I would need someone to help me make 5 .png files that in sequence form a nice animation. I tried making one myself and it turned out very amateur and fugly.

There are actually quite a few steps to go through to replace it, (i'm sure MS never intended anyone on replacing it). It would be best if i changed it and upload the "hacked" file for everyone to use.
