Note quite ready to publish yet, but these are coming along pretty good, thought I’d share. Still tweeking colours, shading etc.
I like that chain drive, but it might need a drop of oil on it to keep it from rusting.
All great designs @bradtc and I like the smoothness of the Chain Drive and the shrinking circle in the Tube design, great work my friend
Thank you guys. And thanks for pointing out how to do the circular text in paint.net, it was really handy for the chain drive one.
Some amazing work there. Great Stuff.
I like them all. Maybe check the hands on the chain drive one.
Seems like the hour hand needed little nudge upwards.
Well spotted Peter, I hadn’t noticed that because I was just gazing at its’ whole, overall excellence.
Thank you @petruuccios , turns out it’s Y coordinate was 11 points too low. All fixed now. I’m still tweeking them a bit…
Cooooool!
I love the chain drive and the tube is quite eye catching! Both are easy to read at a glance!
The steel drum is cool, are the minutes uneven with the hour, or is that me?
Brad can you please tell me. I am itching to know. Is the chain a Sequence or two or is it all Live Action.
Ha ha! I guess you wouldn’t put it past me to make it live action eh? Actually, now that I think about it, it wouldn’t be that hard to do a live action one, just a couple of spinning gears, orbits of links turned off half way through on each gear, and linear sliding links. But in fact, it is simply a sequence, slowed to 5 seconds. I thought the limit was 3, but it took 5 and I went with it.
Stolen
(By me now I mean, not you of course)
Well I thought the limit was 3sec . Anazing. We have to keep testing the Bou drys to discover someting new. It is a good day when you learn someting new. Like an unexpected gift. I love the way you disguised the event with a sunburst traveling at a slightltly different speed truly beguiling.
Just so you know, I have set the limit as high as 10 or 12 before.
On one Sequence. Going to have to do a test. I did not think you could type a number greater than 3 in the box. Laptop is out but no WiFi yet.
Something with a 60/1 ratio would be great for a second hand offset from minutes… or is that what it has? Har to tell here.
@rob.fisk , actually, I just played with the number to eyball it up with the second hand to try to sync them up. I figured at the scale of the watch screen, on the casual glance of the time, it will be hard to tell if it is out a percentage point or two. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@alwaysbusy4family , the minutes / hour / seconds all scroll relative to every 5th digit on a drum. You can see how this scrolls by looking outside of the red lines on top of & below the exact time. At the closest 5th digit, I incorporate a digital zoom & colour change to the actual time. The seconds drum illustrates this better, since it is quicker. Just imagine the minutes and hours drums scrolling like the seconds drum, albeit slower.
