Well, I have had to do a lot of school work with PowerPoint , so now I've gotten a pretty good understanding of the program. To make them I use a lot of gradient fills and try to make them as accurate as possible. :biggrin:

If any of you want any of my content that you have seen here, go over to my website that is posted below. No membership/passwords or complicated surveys needed to access and download. Currently I have only posted my blue and red title bars, but if you want any of my other content reply to this. They will be in office powerpoint 2010 format. Tell me if anything format wise needs to be changed and I will gladly help you out. Thanks.

Mr. Gatlin. I do applaud your work. I took the liberty of extracting one of the two titlebars in your powerpoint for my use (you will get credit once my work is finished), and I figured I'd post the extraction here for your ease of use:

http://i.imagehost.org/0270/Picture1.png (http://i.imagehost.org/0270/Picture1.png)

It'll essentially wind up being a titlebar for the grlevel3 radar. May I use it as one of TWC Today's official titlebars for the grlevel3 radar program, with the other ones located at https://twctodayforums.com/logos/radar (https://twctodayforums.com/logos/radar). With your permission, I will get started. :)

Post by: Zach on August 02, 2010, 01:46:06 AM
How do you add the titlebars to Grlevel3?
They need to correspond to your screen resolution to fit but just rename the graphic you want to use to logo.png in the C:\Program Files\GRLevelX\GRLevel3 directory ;)
Title: Re: wxgatlin's artwork
Post by: Donovan on August 02, 2010, 01:56:48 AM

Post by: Zach on August 02, 2010, 02:11:17 AM
You should see it when the program opens :biggrin:

EDIT: I didnt realize I didnt say the file had to be named logo.png :huh: just rename it to that and it should work :thumbsup:

Wow, this is pretty great, Are you still using MS PP to make these? If so, you're really stretching this program to it's limits.  :P Also I would pull the text where Partly Cloudy is down some so it's not right up under the icon because if you were using a rain or snow icon, the rain or snow would be covering the text. :thumbsup:

Going with this style instead of the one above.

I kinda like the first one better, but this one is pretty good too.  :thumbsup:

Great work, but it's cropped, some things on the side were slightly cut off like the logo, icon on the LDL, etc. Maybe you'll have to shrink the size of the graphics some, other than that it was great for your first video emulation!  :)

I like it! One suggestion: could you try to find a map that is rounded (like earth) and zoomed closer on the US? Other than that, it's great!  :D

The map isnt a globe  :no:

It is in this one

Well, I had them saved on a flash drive, but then I lost it. I didn't find it until today(left it at school). So i have all of them back now, except got rid of the other titlebars (made them last night). What a relief it was when a friend found it. Thanks for the complement! :happy:

There seem to be a lot of low pressure systems at once, but I do like the graphics and "look" of everything. :biggrin: One question, though: how come one warm front is red and another (in the south) is like a brownish color? Is that not supposed to be a warm front? :unsure:

The one in the south was a "dryline", The low's around California and Arizonia yesterday were really weak. They maybe should'nt have even been on there..... or maybe smaller.

Here is my first attempt of the new titlebars. The final product will not come until I get a high res image of the actual. If anyone has one, or could get me one, I would be very pleased.

Try some of these. The first one are the ones I used, the others I would recommend also.

http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=weather+icons#/d1pg1o3 (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=weather+icons#/d1pg1o3)

There are some other good icons on that site if you search.

These are just beautiful! :thumbsup: IMO, the 2nd and 3rd pics could be used for a 3D studio if they were used in real life, because of the 3D look of those.

Thanks guys! I would have been able to make these much sooner, but I didn't find the group button in powerpoint until last night, which helps with 3D. If anyone would like a personalized template, don't hesitate to ask! I'm going to try some more 3D stuff.

I make them with talent of power point 2010. I release graphics packages to the public(here) about every 1-3 months. I have other graphics up for download here(link below) if you want to check them out. You may NOT use these for anything other than personal use and you must give credit where ever you use them if you want to see more releases. I'm not giving away the graphics seen above for free. Those are my favorites and are special to me, sorry bud.
