Dynamic MacBook Air
-
Here is a relatively low polygon, dynamic MacBook Air. The interact tool on the lid will open and close it. You can click on the trackpad to change what you see on the screen. I had thought of making it "start up" by interacting with the power button.
I think something could be done like this if anyone wants to give it a try:
- Make a "powerbutton" button component.
- Make a "startup" custom attribute at the parent level.
- Set the "powerbutton" component's onclick to something like =animateslow("parent!startup",0,30)
- Make an intermediate "screenShow" attribute in the parent and call it ="image"&startup
- Set the "lid" child component's material to =parent!screenShow
- Edit the current screen material from the browser in your image editor of choice.
- Make 31 images that together would simulate the startup animation and embed all of them in the model.
- Once in the model, rename them "startup0" thru "startup30"
- Give it a try.
That might be booring since the Mac startup is just the spinning status wheel, but the idea might work for some other animations. Smustard, maybe you guys can whip up a plugin to automate all this?
...or alternatively you can pretend Windows is installed on the computer and just make one BSOD screen. Just kidding! I heart PCs too.
