Cubes V3 with transparency (jpg or png files)

[JPD]

I made in september a first 3D cube, I used all the works I did, to make a new slideshow in october with better and lighter cubes than those of the templates which were on line on the net.

I didn't think at this time to have to work again on cubes, but Tom (tom95521) had the idea to make a web page that generate PTE file.

He needs for that some templates and with my agrement, use the template of the cube I did, but I found the template wasn't enough good and Tom asked for a transparent cube, so I did a new one with transparency, but there were some problem with 2 faces found by Al and Thedom was disappointed by the size, so I redo this new version with more options.

There are some differences with the previous version :

- Doubling of the file by a version turning in the other way.

- Correction of the position of the sights 3 and 4 (back to front on 2 sights)

- Add two PNG versions

- Add a version with progressive appearance of the cube

- Modification allowing the use of any size of files-images (necessarily squared)

- Correction of small imperfections.

- Lighter template for calculation.

- Several examples.

- Explanations in french and in english (it looks like english )

I don't know how Tom will succeed to put in his tools the differents options, I hope it's good for him. It's possible to use the templates as there are today but it's a little bit difficult as with Tom's generator when it will be finished.

You can download these templates from this post on Diapositif (there are some explanations for french speaking people) or from this link.

I hope this work will be usefull for all.

Hi, JP

Thanks for posting all those examples of the cube - that represents a lot of work on your part!! Thanks so much for your generosity!

Just a minor detail - the zipped file contains duplicates of all the "Face-A's" and "Face-B's" (see examples below). The duplicated files are not the same size. However, the demos all seem to run properly, though maybe not with the intended images.

I didn't understand, because when I use Winzip, the result is OK.

In the zip file there is a directory call Cube and a subdirectory call Cube 400 with files which have the same name as in directory Cube, but they are 400 x 400 in the subdirectory and 200x 200 in the directory, it's to give an example on how use larger files as 200 x 200. The PTE file in the subdirectory use the big file, all those of the directory the little ones.

Thanks so much for your generosity!

Thank you Al, it seems when I read a recent post that some people don't think as you. I agree with them than PTE is to use good photos, good sound and good ideas, but why not some new effects from time to time also.

It's easier to laugh at those who here put their job than to do it.

For those who are hilarious : I haven't do the two last templates about cubes for me, I don't need them (neither the album photo, my slideshow is finish). At least to laugh, it's good for health

OK, that is my problem - when I unzipped your files, they were all in a single directory. I'll go back and unzip, retaining the subdirectory.

No, fortunately, not everyone agrees with me! But, I believe that everyone should be able to express what he or she believes - (and, of course, at the same time, to listen to any serious criticism or argument from others).

Right on! And at the same time, to not take one's own self too seriously.

Maureen has correct the explanations I did in good english, these explanations are now in the file which is always at the same adress : Cube V3.

Many thanks to Maureen

Thank you Jean-Pierre!

I used your earlier cube templates for very nice photos. I also "over-used" the cube effect. But that is what is so wonderful when you and others generously share the fruits of your knowledge and talent. Each person has the opportunity to benefit as he chooses - from the generosity of you and so many others. Thank you again for this latest "captivator." I spent only five minutes with these new templates and knew I better thank you before I become completely absorbed. And thank you Maureen for your meaningful addition to JPD's work.

JP,

HERE is an example of a cube made with Flash technology. Not nearly as smooth as your examples.

(please note that I have no affiliation with the companies sponsoring the commercials).

Not nearly as smooth as your examples.

That's right Al and it's only 100 x 100 x 100 pixels cube. That mean that our tool is very wonderful even it's not the same utilisation.
