Plan for Robert Blanchet Jr.

by Robert Blanchet Jr. · 10/24/2001 (8:01 am) · 0 comments

I've been pretty busy with college life! It is fun as heck but sure takes up a lot of free time (speaking with girls and all) ;)

I havn't kept up with my .plan(s) very well, one post! heh. Oh well, I'll just do it whenever I can.

Some of the things I've completed since my last .plan include:

1) Finished an early version of the new texture2bm8 utility. The DEV Team I'm currently working with however has decided not to use the bm8 image format for the slower end machines. This means that I'm going to be holding off work on the utility until 'Legends', is finished and ready for download. The new texture2bm8 is currently not available for download anywhere, however it will be shortly.

2) Working on an online resume/portfolio. I got great hosting at www.evolt.org. Wonderful web programming/designers hangout...check it out sometime.

3) Currently polishing up a skinnable button control that I designed for the 'Legends' project. It has 4 different states that the button can be in, including normal, n/a, hilite, and depressed. I might add more but there really is no current use that I could see. The button can also be stretched/skewed however we need it.

4) Starting work on skinnable controls for all the other control types that can't be skinned.

5) Hashing out plans for avi controls. For instance, text edit controls, buttons, you name it, that will play movies under certain circumstances. This should be fun.
