Each letter seperate at the same time or letter after letter? Well, this Idea is good. Maybe the Animation in 3D we could save even ore space, I imaging something like the old CAROLCO Logo from various Movies:Squidge said:Yes, a "pencil" as thick as the logo above being used to draw the logo over a series of seconds.
So you have:
o
then:
oo
o
followed by:
ooo
o
o
etc, until each letter is built up completely.
I think I see what you mean. I might be able to accomplish this effect using Synfig, but it won't be easy.Squidge said:Yes, a "pencil" as thick as the logo above being used to draw the logo over a series of seconds.
Why do you keep using this logo? Your stuff won't be used for sure if you keep using the wrong image .javaJake said:w00t! 14KB! I don't know where the double-flicker came from, but that can be fixed easily. It needs a little more flash, but the idea is there. I'll fix it up later when I get the chance.
That reminds me of the SGI logo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Graphicsparag0n said:
good idea. i wouldnt think the bios load would take THAT long, but linux loading might take some time. plus we could do more complex/larger animations.Insanemal said:As Squidge already mentioned. Most things are too big for the bios.
Keeping this in mind a Splashscreen of the logo first up then a 'seamless' switch to an animation using the same logo as a starting point is more probable. You would just have the bootloader do the anim.
For the less tech minded. Think your mobos splash screen then XP load anim. Cept have them both use the same logo. AND not clear the logo to give you all the post info.
Ok. Well thats kinda right and kinda wrong. See just because they are in different rings, doesnt mean they can load simultaneously.cb88 said:I know this is pretty far out and nobody might know anything about it but couldn't the bios be in one ring on the cpu while linux boots on the other ring? then full control would be given to linux after the boot finishes...
not sure of the practicality of that since xen apparently doesn't support arm fully but i think i have seen xen/arm kernel images?
maybe i barking up the wrong tree there though.... but i must admit that the tech is pretty interesting if not mature
