loading screen spining logo

by Shane Lunsford · in Torque 3D Professional · 01/21/2012 (9:33 pm) · 5 replies

Hello T3D members I'm looking for a way to make a spinning logo at the corner of the loading screen. I tried seaching but didn't know what to call it so didn't find much. Any suggestions? Thank you

Ok, suggestions... here are two off the top:

You could make a little Theora video and use the GuiTheoraCtrl to play it.

You could put in the extra work to extend the GuiBitmapCtrl to support animated gif's or sprite sheets - either would serve the purpose. Personally, I want to do this for i/T2D anyway, so perhaps I'll give it a shot soon and post it as a resource....

A GuiObjectView with your logo as a shape, and a small addition to make it rotate at a constant speed? I'd do that for a Deus Ex-like loading icon (remember the rotating logo in the main menu background?).

If you need a good convertor for theora video, there's one Here

The video would probably be the easiest way to do this.
You just make a new gui over top of the gui you want your logo on.
