CHALLENGE!


Recommended Posts

...to stretch those PDN muscles.

Pick a graphic done in some other app then show us your best knockoff in PDN.

A side by side comparison would be neat to see.

Unfortunately, I have nothing to declare at this time.

I just thought about this seconds ago.

Plus I'm still chicken to show my work :oops: .

Well, I guess I'll post up the first ones :wink::

I've actually posted the PDN of this before, but now I'll also post up the original:

Ragir image original - Made with The GIMP:

Ragir image reproduction - Made with Paint.NET:

I made the original from an idea I got from a WindowsBlinds Vista theme color for a window button in the task bar that wants focus, and I went from there. I liked the concept, and I wanted to see how closely I could replicate it in PDN. I knew I wouldn't be able to reproduce the background exactly (in GIMP, it was made with a render effect), but I actually prefer the PDN version due to a few concept revisions I made in the reproduction, mainly the reduction in the height of the bar.

So yeah, that's my first addition to the CHALLENGE! Whaddaya think? :)

CMD,

I remember seeing this on PDN before.

Still, It's some pretty cool looking work.

Currently, I'm trying to duplicate some Mac icons.

I like that glass-like work that they do.
