Archlinux wallpapers

Devastator · 2009-01-31 22:52:29

Hi,
I've just created a nice, Arch-themed wallpaper: http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=98607

I was just playing with GIMP, and accidentially created something like this. So I played with colors some more, add Arch logo, and viola!

I hope, you'll like it.
A kind of "thank you" to all the people that helped me on the forums, and to all the people who has provided me a fully featured operating system

Nice, but the logo seems not very good.

Devastator · 2009-02-01 09:27:31

Well... I tried over ten different methods of mixing the logo with background, and liked this one the most. Or perhaps the "Archlinux" text is missing? I thought that a simple form would fit here the most

not bad for an "accidental" creation

Nice! How about reducing the opacity of the white glow to something not so eye poking - say 25-50%. Just a thought..
I like it as-is, though I prefer a bit more sentimental stuff for my own use. Carry on playing

Good idea - I've just updated it. A smaller and more transparent glow looks much better .

Could you post a distro agnostic one - no arch logo? I like this one but I also like the underlying wallpaper too and will probably use it on some non-Arch systems. Not a big deal but it would be cool. Good work!

nice wallpaper! It's going in my wallpaper rotations.

fukawi2 · 2009-02-01 22:33:04

Nice!

Mine now, thanks

Devastator · 2009-03-19 20:37:32

A new one - "crystal Arch".
Still needs some polishing, but I'm using it currently as a wallpaper, and it's ok

Only the 30 minutes rendering time is killing me...

thunderogg · 2009-03-19 21:46:34

Nice! Thanks.

Very nice. What did you model that in?

www.blender.org .

It's a simple model, a single Bezier curve with a surface behind this. Currently I'm playing with the lighting and the material properties, but it tooks a lot of time, to see the changes .

If anyone is interested I may send a .blend file

eldragon · 2009-03-21 14:20:48

how i envy skilled people with the brush

thisperishedmin · 2009-03-25 20:07:48

the blender made desktop is awesome...very nice.

Devastator · 2009-04-06 21:37:48

For those who liked the 3D wallaper - the less saturated version:

It took over 44 minuter to render this . Therefore I keep experimenting with materials at night: change, start render, go to sleep, wake up, check results... facepalm, repeat

Devastator · 2009-04-15 08:48:27

I've recently learned how to use photons in Blender .

Here's the result:

This one took almost 10 hours to render... . No I know why graphic artists prefer to draw such things themselves, instead of rendering them

BTW: I got such message on omploader: "Omploader Recommends Windows Vista™" ?

megajosh2 · 2009-04-18 02:00:32

This and the crystal logo wallpaper look awesome!

Say the exact resolution you want, and I'll look for the .blend file...

QuimaxW · 2009-05-31 01:53:51

How about 16:9 1080p resolution... say 1920x1080 ? I know like...14 hours to render or something...but it would look freaking awesome and should scale down as well.

Devastator · 2009-06-03 10:24:48

Okay, I'll have a look on this, when I'll have some more time .

BTW - 16:9 is EVIL

+1 Quimax, I could also use a 1920X1080. It would be lovely.

I have never used Blender, but perhaps if you shared the .blend file other people could render it. Would it be realitvely simple for some one who has no experience with Blender to render a image with a .blend file?

elmer_42 · 2009-06-03 15:37:35

Devastator, if it's not too much trouble I'd love to get the .blend file so I could render myself a 1440x900 version. I don't want to be tying up your system.
