Skins and walls from Ron Meijer
Very often I find myself wondering what the big diffrence is between things like windowblinds and windows media player.

Its not hard to see that a lot of WMP skins use a lot heavier graphics then WB skins.
(note, with heavy graphic I mean 3d style).

I think its the custom shape of WMP that makes it more suitable for heavy graphic skins but wouldn't it be awesome to have a little of that 3d feeling being put in a wb skin?
I know there is some 3d in WB skins, but it never really get past an 'innershadow' filter

Whats the deal with this?

Styl-X Design fingers are starting to tintel as he has this 3d wb skin idea in his head for nearly a week now... Time to dust of skinstudio

Well NT, its not a promotion thread to get some more work or something, as I said we were busy...
Damn... again that arrogance.

Any admin, feel free to delete this thread, I am going to do what I said I was going to some posts ago.

See some of you guys arround.

no arrogance is not stateing you have work. arrogance is coming here stateing that everybodys works look to Photoshopish and that none has ever thought of tryin 3D, other than a simple bevel..like its a new concept or something ..im sorry but a few of doodle bugs skins are more 3D than what ive seen posted here in this thread .. and like its been said they were made with PSP.. not a 3D program.. not to mention they have been out for about 4 years now ? so no 3d is not a new concept at all...

oh and Renato/Dangeruss/Thredzs/Tech13 are in my opinion a few of the skinners who are untouchable.. meaning their reputations in the skinning community are unsurpassed.

How about this skin:
Click to Enlarge
(click for full size)

But again, it's just Photoshop gradients too...

Yep, seen that one, 3d if you ask me, but it lacks the newer functions
on Sep 10, 2004
Yes, am not talking about functions, but about the design.

exactly paxx.... it's very 3D and it looks good .. i cant see how any body could say no ones ever tried anything more than a few beveled edges..

Has Gabriel made anything new lately?

It's strange to me when a skinner talks about how everyones stuff is flat and not 3D, and yet they don't show us how it is suppose to look.

If it is a noob, then we can just ignore them. But, when it is a skinner, who seems to be slamming everyone elses work, it makes me wonder.

All your stuff is flat...and mine is 4 Dimensional! Mwuahahahahaha

What genuinely amazes me is how 'Photoshopish' can be intended to infer 'Amateurish'.

Last I checked, Photoshop was the 'Industry Standard'...which means if you don't have it mastered you are unlikely to be employed within the industry [digital imaging].

This apparent discrimination between one 3D 'style' and another is purely personal opinion....and the real determination of the 'style's' popular acceptance is not the number of people adopting it in their work as much as the number of people who truly appreciate the outcome.

As for 'arrogance' of self-worth.....that is professional suicide....trust me, I've been a Professional for over 30 years.

'Blowing your own horn' is otherwise known as 'auto-fellatio'....

No actual skinner within [or without] this community has ever attained fame and popularity through arrogance, and none ever will.

Those who attempt to consider themselves somehow superior are doomed to enjoy a lonely existence in their castle in the clouds.

Again I say.....'humility is your friend'....
