Hey Guys I've been thinking and since we have these great new forums, I thought we could really use a few banners to help decorate. Sooooooo, Let's see what we can come up with There are a few requirements (you knew those were coming): *It should be 570 x 100 pixels **It has to say "Blender 3D" somewhere on it and ***It can't violate the TOS Have FUN and post what you come up with in this thread

Hey Jar - that looks great!!! Good Job!!

Those look nice!

Awesome Reddog!!! Love it

Way Cool Banner!!!!

LOVE IT Jenn!!!!!!!

...And I have some suggestion to our forum sub-title. I think it`s quite good thread to show it;)

The sentence "Blender: Full functional software suite" wont make any impression on people who have heard of LW, Maya, etc. because it doesnt underline the most important advantage of Blender! Something like "Blender: A complete Free 3D suite" would have more impact!

Cheers and good luck for entrants:)

Good thinking silgrin

I think we should use that - what do the rest of you guys think?

That might draw a lot more attention.

Yeah, I do like that one better.  Been meaning to suggest something else too, but I usually forget since I don't actually read that line very often ;)

I think we should closely hold our little secret, just among friends ...

Lol, but the more the merrier!

howbout "blender a completely free profesional 3d suite"

there's my take

I like that one too (both banner and slogan version :)

There's no need to be shy about it.:biggrin: How about: "Blender: The end of Maya and Max" :tt2::tt2::tt2:

well thats a good one, but blender is still far away from being anywhere near the end of 3ds max and maya, or even lightwave.  thoes programs are already to widly used commercialy in the industry.  when a commercial institution uses a program, they end up endorsing it by forcing students to learn it in order to get jobs. plus the idea that thoes expensive program useres are an elite few gives them comfort

oodmb, that render is looks great. I'm curious what render engine you used?

yafray.  i pretty much always use yafray. when i dont use yafray i use indigo, however indigo takes way to long.  i have tried lightflow and have never liked the process or results and blender's internal engine just cant do as much and isnt as good

Wow, that looks excellent!  yafray has a license for multiple processors too. :thumbupboth:

yet another thing i love about yafray, its one of the few renderers for blender that take advantage of dual core and higher processors which are the only next generation of processors.  the only problem with yafray's use of multiple processors is that it does not take advantage of them during raytracing, caustics, or any other steps other than refinement and antialiasing

i noticed that the size of my picture was not correct. it was 500100 rather than 570100, here is an updated pic

There are alot of excellent banners here. I digg oodmb's slogan. I feel that we should use a banner with Blender's colors and logo.

Hey!
I was working on another banner (for some reason) but the spped of the animation is really slow in my browser, much slower than it is when played from my desktop. Oh well, here it is...

Very cool banner you got there oldskoolpunk. I like the eye. :)

Everything is added except for the animated gifs because they weren't loading correctly.  Yay banners!

nicely done:)

Thanks Halo :) Wow new banners, new freestuff section, we are moving up in the world!

:thumbupboth:  Yep!

Here's a new banner.
