Am I the last person to see this....


I can't connect Rich.

You might be right saying "Am I the last person to see this...." [confused]
 
Sorry 'bout that. I suspected it was large because it took about 10sec. for me on cable. I just thought that the site was interesting in that in really made good use of 3D and Flash (and a funny movie clip). But then again how good is it if many people can't get it.

No problem here...immediate connection and the loading took less than two seconds.
But I do am spoilt (average of 600kbytes/Second) and I haven't got an idea what it might be on adsl or 56K.
I do like the way the interface apperas, but then again: if it's only for some happy few who have a fast connection, then what's the use?
"The" problem with flash and web design.
Like I always say to people who want to learn to draw: "When you want to show what you can, you always show what you can't."

Good quote Rich. Me too I love Fripp's music, starting with King Crimson and way through his experiments with Eno etc...
 
No problem for me as well, with DSL connection, great graphics and Flash work, however, for a cooperate site I don't think it is of much use, not many people would be willing to wait to see it [upset] [slick]
 
Yes, I can connect now too. I tried two times earlier this day without success, despite having DSL on this side.

You know, I've visited site a while back and although it's really great what they made, no discussion about that, I always wonder what the purpose of it is [confused]

I think that we see that too often; flash artists who want to show off how really good they are, instead of focusing on customers/visitors [confused]

That's why I can't stand the Flash community.

Just my 2 cents ;)
 
Agree Gaus.......... the customer, client, visitor is usually forgotten when these things are created......... they look nice and please the author or creator nicely but at the cost of loosing the customer, client or visitor due to the slower downloads that these flashy things provide.
and that is my 2 cents added too so that now makes 4 cents worth :bustagut:

hey i remember that site... found it through someone on the FxZone board. They wanted to know if those metal balls could be made with Photoshop... i replied, "why yes, they can in fact.".

So i made this for 'em to prove it. :D

Unfortunately though, i think that tute got 'pruned' off their board. I still have the psd though.
If i remember correctly, i thought the site was a tad heavy on the download also; and i have dsl as well.
 
Interesting. The site insists I don't have Flash installed, and I have the latest version. (Something Procreate is famous for, but then they promptly ignore what they told you and shove you into the site anyway). I don't know enough about Flash to know why this happens...it only happens on a few sites. I suspect it's something the designer/developer did wrong, or forgot to do.

Er....update. The above was on IE Mac. Just tried it with Safari, the new Apple browser released today, and it loads just fine.
 
I didn't know about it, but I suspected that Apple would come up with a browser. Now they only need an alternative Office suite...?Personally I love the Opera browser, yet Explorer devours everything you present to him. I hope there is or will be a Safari for Windows too/soon...

Having visited Apple, I must say that safari seems to be like a nephew of Opera, which means that it must be really good.
 
Wow, I'd never seen that site before, but it's super slick. I didn't have any problem with the downloading, I was quite impressed.

The PowerPoint Killer for Mac is out today...Keynote. $99. It will import PSD files WITH layers, export to Quicktime, PowerPoint and PDF, has anti-aliased text...it blows PP out of the water.

And yes, Safari is great...especially for a public beta. It's unbelievably fast.
 
Actually Julie... i've noticed that same snafu myself. I'm thinking it may very well be a bug in FlashMX's plugin detection script. I've been to several sites now over several months that have insisted i do not have the Flash6 plugin installed, when i know very well that i indeed DO. And i've even let them reInstall it just to get into the site, only to have the exact same thing happen a month later on another site.

Don't know if this is actually a recognized issue or not, or if MM have a fix for it if it is an issue. Perhaps a visit to their site might present an answer.
 
I like to look at these sites much like I like to go to the autoshow (this weekend). I"ll see things that may be too big and fancy or offer things that not everybody wants or can afford. But that doesn't mean it's not fun to check out.

Erik....I'm not sure what Robert Fripp has been up to since Elephant Talk. I sorta dropped out for awhile because of the army and college. I think Eno is probably the only one I haven't seen live among Fripp's collaborators. I have to admit that I was quite blown away by Fripp in that concert. Watching and listening to him play was mesmerizing.
