itâs a recent trend; all you have to do in photoshop is duplicate your initial layer, use the gaussian filter a bit, and change the blending mode (can be overlay, soft light, dodge etcâŚ) with something like a 60%-80% opacity⌠Play with it !
Thanks a lotâŚIâll go playing!
Hereâs a screenshot for the approximate effect:
edit: btw that image is fromx sxc, and the gaussian blur on the top layer is 5.0
Thx mlk im gunna go play too
Hey, great. Thanks for spending time with this.
Maybe you have also an idea how this preloader works:
The one on the âdoorsâ.
I posted this question also in
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63464
:ne:
a nice effect⌠getting a little tired though. That and scan lines on every picture, hehe
how much gaussian blur should i apply?
also, play around with the opacity of the top layer.
yeah, can you tell me how MUCH gaussian blur to get that effect? like the exact number? :mu:
There is no âmagic numberâ thatâs right for all pictures, youâll have to play around with it. It depends on the size of the picture and the sharpness and contrast and numerous other things. Just play around with it, it can range anywhere from 1 px to 20 px or higher. It depends on what effect you are trying to achieve and on the picture youâre manipulating.
ohh ok :mu:
I used 5px.

It looks like he did a normal preloader with a png âglowâ on top. That glow image being in a Movie Clip, to wich he added the flickering (easy to script).
Will get to it when I come back from Spiderman 2 =)
cheers,
mlk
F12 is great. I always wonder how they did that CD and the player and that metal/steel effect they use.
I think the CD is just a gradient with some radial blur and motion blur.
Ok, Iâll wait for you. Iâm goinâ to see shrek 2 tomorrow with the kids :te:
Well the preloader - I donât really mean the flickering but the âstickyâ appearance on the âdoorsâ. When a new ext. swf is loaded the doors closes and the preloader on the doors is moving, when the loading is finished, the doors open (still with the preloader on the doors) and the new content is thereâŚ
âŚA loader, that loads external .swfâs ??? Actionscripting⌠:hangover:
Iâm glad you asked that question pacno. I am in need of learning that at the moment. I try to have all the preloader parts fade in and out but they wonât all do it. Iâm anxious to see the coding.
Letâs hope mlk enjoy spiderman 2 and will come back helping us.
MLK has it -
another effect that is similar and often used - (there used to be pictures with this - but in the great forum crash of 2004 they were lost)
Here are the settings to apply to your image/selection:
gaussian blur 1.5
diffuse glow: 1 - 2 - 18
I still dont get what you donât understand with the preloader. Hereâs the deal. You load the external swf in a MC which is located under the âdoorâ MC⌠So that once the loading is finished, all you have to do is play your âdoorâ anim, until you see your section.
Quite frankly iâve never done external preloading before but I donât think this should be a problem at allâŚ
Iâm not really good in actionscriptingâŚI always put the preloader in the same swf which must be loaded. I never used it before in different timelines/swf movies.
Do you have an example fla or any actionscript resources for this?
It would help a lot
I found this but I still donât get it, do I have to build a prelaoder mcâŚ?:-/
