[ahmed]

i had trouble viewing it too.. try refreshing the page and clicking the thing many time :)

[SureShot]

Holy ****... I can't belive that.

Wow. Totally amazing.

[nobody]

holy crap.. thats amazing

[VisualAid]

v.nice :D

[Mik3]

I'VE BEEN WAITING SOOO LONG

[lostinbeta]

Wow, that is awesome, but it lags my system immensly.

[mdipi]

wow! that was well worth the wait for...i was there for ooo...maybe 6months just waiting before i lost my forum password and he wont give it back that *****...

but i would wait another year for that!

I wondered about that - we all have good systems here at the office and my one at home is pretty good as well. It all worked just great here but I thought there might be some problems on a slower machine. Were the transitions choppy...? What else lagged?

[lostinbeta]

Everything lagged, and it almost crashed my system.

When you click on a link on the main area and it does the transition around the ring thing, that lagged like crazy, and it didn't even take you to the section, it took you to a "sign" of what was in the section, and in there you have to click that button to get to the transition to take you to the actual content, and that lagged.

Eventually it froze on me and I had to close out IE.

[Alex]

i has a similar problem, it would lag a bit for me to:(

but the site is still cool!:)

[telekinesis]

I have a P4 2.8 Ghz Processor and a 128MB Geforce 4 running on a duel-T1. . . .

ran smooth for me :P

then again i am at work. . . .

[Mik3]

CAN A SITE GET BETTER?!!?

it has like mega specs, it lagged a little on my mom's celeron 1.something gig processor

[telekinesis]

yes. . . .

[RelandR]

3.8 mb's not counting the after loading content .... HUGE.....

nice moves tho - no lag for such a fat file to me (?)... must beDa Mac... =)

buuut....

...(preload to the preload to the preload - huh? I mean click here to go to where you click here to go to where you click here... oh there's the stuff) :!:

[mlk]

WOW

that video is totally awesome. Although ive heard that music thousands of times. But I love the deep voice-over :flower:

very impressive.

[replode]

worked pretty good for me, just laged a little at a few parts. that's pretty amazing. i looked at the source code and was amazed at how simple it was. i thought everything was done so clean and smooth, i'd love to design something like that. :)

[kirupa]

Here is the intro movie: http://www.billybussey.com/intro/intro.mov I had to save it to the hard drive and then watch it because it simply wouldn't display anything beyond a white screen :) Very awesome though - you have to check out the main site; nicely done!

[sintax321]

THe whole thing worked smoothly for me. I thought that voice over in the intro was kind of chessey but the intro it self was cool. I liked the first 3d robot hting but it never moved which was a let down YOu jsut rotat around it and click on a sign. Then you wait for a preloader then click again to enter. Seemed a little long to navigate but it is impressive never the less. To bad he took so long to make it casue now ever one had been making 3D sites and it is all trendy.

[Kajinku]

Amazing site indeed. Very cool! The intro was nice and smooth on my machine (PIII 500 Mhz), but the site itself was a bit slow sometimes.

What 3D program is used for this kind of stuff? Maya? Or can you accomplish the same with... let's say Cinema 4D?

[blah-de-blah]

yes what did you use to make it?!?! The itnro is kinda annoying tho since you havta download it onto your harddrive but its amazing....

[sintax321]

3DSM and Photoshop is what he mentions in the site. I'm assuming he used those.

[Kajinku]

oops, I was watching the animations so much I didn't notice there actually was information on his website :P

[Soul]

Ok it works now, awesome :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Mik3]

I wounder how he got his voice to be just like the movie producer man :P

[Millad]

OMG !!! AMAZING

NO LAGGING for a Pentium4 :)))))

[sintax321]

He probably got a radio DJ or a friend with that kind of voice to recored it. COuld be him t owith soem modifying in sound foarge or something.

[comicGeek]

This is one of the best new media sites I've ever seen. The second to Eric Jordans online playground a longtime ago. Very, very nice. I think this guy has expertise in Premier, After Effects. He managed to glue me to my seat. Like watching a movie. Very nice. I think Eric Jordan could use the creative thinking of this guy too!

PS. 2advanced.com v4 is about to go live in less than 26 hours.

[comicGeek]

Jacob Neilsen will get a kick out of this! :P

[turboe19]

Yes I asked him that night about the voice over and he told me he hired a professional voice guy for it.

[telekinesis]

Sup turbo (its dan4885 from BB forum)

[grimdeath]

this site is way more impressive than 2As new website im sorry to say, heck EG website is more impressive than @a if ya ask me then again that just my opinion but this site rocks good sh!t all da way man

I wouldn't know... Billys site crashes my sytem because it is so CPU intensive :hair:

[reverendflash]

it works fine for me, but man is it huge. Even with broadband (1.5) it takes forever to navigate through...

ego, ego, ego...

that is all I have to say...

the site is not made to "get business" that's for sure...


Duanehttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[grimdeath]

its a personal portfolio so its not an actual get business site but christ it is amazing what this guy did he used video effects imported as mpgs and controlled them with flash how i do not know but its very impressive

Im starting to wonder what kind of computers you people have that im hearing so much complaints?? well when you have the chance on a better system visit this site and be amazed this guy has some awesome transition that i think can only be done in one of those video editing apps he uses because photoshop wont do none of those bad @zz transitions he used especially when the 3d machine thingy morphs to the signs of the sections

[=VALOR=]

Indeed its very cool. But I think the site is on the limit of being "overflashed". I mean so much download for so little content.... Yes the animations are all cool, and it probably took him forever to make that, but it pretty much violates the whole purpose of usabilty for the internet.

=VALOR=

[reverendflash]

well said valor.

I do not say it is bad, just wayyyyyy overdone, for the sole purpose of his ego.

JMO tho.

Duanehttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[=VALOR=]

Good point Reverend. :pope:

There must be like 5 or 6 different poses of himself (excluding the intro, which i found rather tacky) and there arent even that many sections in his site...

Dont get me wrong, i cant do any of those animations. I just think that being such an admired figure in the flash community, he would have "shown us the way" as did Eric Jordan with 2advanced.

=VALOR=

[DDD]

yeah I said that in some other post he seems to be stuck on his self. But those transitions are truely amazing I am trying to figure em out but cant. I have not been this enthused over a site in a while between eg and this one I have renewed interest in 3ds max

[grimdeath]

well his sites still not completely done but noetheless tis rather impressive, this guy shows you he has online and offline as well as tv quality talent which is great. What really impresses is the the way he incorporates all these programs capabilities and features and puts them to good use with flash this website alone should be used as a sample of the kind of work flash mx can put out with the proper knowledge and talent. That is all i gots to say.

[mdipi]

over at teh forums there was talk of possibly director involved. not to sure though...the guy is a genius. i dont care how stuck up he is, he did this by himself, 2a is amazing, but they had a team, same with FI, this is a single man job...

[grimdeath]

my sentiments exactly :beam:

Only took him over a year :thumb:

[reverendflash]

his ego will go away eventually. Especially in a few years when he isn't pushing the envelope any more... or newer, younger people come up and kick his arse...

amazing how life tends to make one more humble...

;)

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif Jesus rev, sounds like you hate this guy with a passion.

[reverendflash]

no, not at all...

sorry if it sounds that way.

it was just an observation of life...

most young people's ego goes away after a few knocks from reality...

I actually have no feelings one way or the other for BB. He is a great artist.

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[grimdeath]

yeah i was starting to wonder why people are saying this guys ego is way up their, im mean pardon me not reading this thread since the first page but what did he say or do that you guys are saying his ego is high???? just curious

[DDD]

I can testify to that...... I had my ego slashed by some young bucks

[mdipi]

he just has, the way he sometimes talks over at his forums. but we need to get him for an interview! (dans idea)

[comicGeek]

I think billybusy.com is his very own online playground. And when we talk about how "aesthetically" not very new the new 2A design is, we know that they had great improvements to it. Dynamic data is the new thing.

[mdipi]

yep it is. its just for looks i feel, for both. why dont you join the BB Forums? dan is there and so am i,,,its slow but not TOO bad...

[reverendflash]

If you're lucky, you'll only loose an arm... I got mine right at the knees...

tough lesson to swallow...

<b>and just for the record. </b>I said the layout was for his ego, not that he was all full of ego... therefore justifying his high bandwidth... it's his site, he can do what he wants.

I also said he is an amazing artist.

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[vts31]

ive known billy for 2 years and have seen a lot of the stuff that was in his site before it even came out. That being said i like his site but i think his original vision of it was grander, im kinda dissapointed. ( I also dont like the new 2a)

[turboe19]

and I believe he worked for like 48hrs+ finishing it last fri, sat and sun hes told me he made 7 versions before he made this one but deleted them all cause he did not like them at all.

[telekinesis]

Look at this "professional" critique our members as "noobs":

http://www.billybussey.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=6742#pid44661

[reverendflash]

funny...

his site is 404...

:beam:

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[DDD]

omg I felt like giving that puke a piece of my mind. N00bs. assshole.

I think this site is the best thing since sliced bread right now. He must did not read all the way thru. We have some truly talented peeps here. And if we formed a studio somehow from a handful of peeps here in Kirupa. We'd kick the shiiit out of everyone. (i bet)

[DDD]

sorry for my language now I am back to calm self and having fun :)

Hey dan, do you think I can take bdstudios in actionscript? :evil:

lol... j/k :trout:

[comicGeek]

Why are people trying to bring down an other great site? Though Billybusey.com it's that usable, it still is a great work. And I think those who were to view it were in some way inspired to do some 3d art. I know I was and made me realise that I have alot to learn! :-\

[billybussey]

thanks for all the comments guys :)

[comicGeek]

WOW the man himself! autograph? :P

[Kitiara]

Form an orderly queue. ;)

And welcome to the forums. :) Cool, I get to be the first person to say that for once. :P

[c!rYx]

I think iron should make a huge battle with billy. Because both kick ***. That would be great.

Welcome Billy, btw :)

[DDD]

was there a bussey sighting here also? I dont think it was really him. I would have said more

[telekinesis]

No he wouldn't have, I have been a member of his forum for about 2 years. He keeps the keyword 'minimal' into mind when he posts. Plus he has posted here before. . . .

[DDD]

oh ok. I would think he would drop more words seeing as how he has pics of him everywhere on his work

[lostinbeta]

Nah, Dans right, i've seen his posts at his forum (although not a member, I do occasionally browse), and he really never says much at all.

[mdipi]

no he doesnt say much. but whats his name here? i figured that was him.

btw lost, i dont know to much about bd, but i bet you could take him, if not it would be a good fight!

[DDD]

LIB I would place my $$$ on you since you have always helped me bring my erratic ideas to life in AS.

[mdipi]

see i dont really know bd too well, he is new there, but my money is on you too

[lostinbeta]

Hehe, I don't know bd either, thats why I was joking, for all I know he doesn't even know AS.

[telekinesis]

I doubt he does, look at his splash:

http://www.bdstudios.net

If you are going to use a stretch effect don't have it being basic. I learned that the hard way when people gave me **** on mine:

http://www.macromotive.com/ebay/dalu/da_splash.htm

[mdipi]

that orb doesnt fit at all...

[turboe19]

nahh Billy is actually not like his site potrays he actually does that stuff with pictures of him self in hats as a sorta joke and fun way of putting himself on the site. He is actually a really cool guy. I have been a member of his forum since over 2 years.

[mdipi]

turboe...i have only seen you one time and i have been tehre since november. and yeah he is a good guy, but quiet

[telekinesis]

You have to give it to him, he is more interactive with his fans than most designers (flashlevel, ect.)

[sintax321]

Humm they took some offensie to my comments about some of the ppl on bb forums. Truth can kind of hurt i guess. It was in no way supossed to be an insult to Billy. Maybe things have changed there sence my last vist but that was jsut the vibe i got from the majority of posts i saw.

I thought i gave a pretty good review of the site. Of course my spelling was awful lol.

[mdipi]

i think its changed...

[telekinesis]

Whats your username there?

[sintax321]

It was the same as here but i can't remember my password. The re view and the comment that offended the bbforum guys are in this thread.

[DDD]

dan your new footer is tight. You are the king of tweens

[mdipi]

i like the old font more though...:-\

[turboe19]

I dod not post much there mdipi.com i go there to learn not chat so I mainly read posts and then go to next forum I am more involved on anticubical.com

[telekinesis]

I am involved in all three, but moderate only 2 of them :P

[mdipi]

i am a member over at AC...hmm i think i posted two times, but i got new work so i will go back. Dan (over at bb) is an admin right? him and JNicklo? (i think thats his name...)

[replode]

whats the address for AntiCubical? i tried www.anticubical.com but it doesnt work ;(

[Digitalosophy]

billy must think he's real good looking with all those pictures of himself

[mdipi]

www.anticubicle.com

i was just htere. its diff, i am used to flash forums, this is all about art.

[replode]

looks pretty cool, not really my type of forum though

[mdipi]

thats what i thought too. but i am going to give it a try, so far its slow. but eh, no biggy. i know a few guys from BB over there, but thats about it you know?

[replode]

im usually pretty hesitant when it comes to joining forums. i joined actionscripts.org, and stayed there for a couple of weeks. i havent been back in ages. Kirupa is by far my most active forum, but i occasionally drop by some others (teamphotoshop.com, xxviiinetforum).

[mdipi]

really? i suppose i am too. it depends who i know. i tend to stick to places i know people at, or they are well known. i usually see people from here all over though: FI: Sen, Were-here - i joined not knowing he was there

dan: BB, was gonna join no matter what, saw a post, reged taht day.

AC: found through a BB member, found dan there.

lol see its a cycle. you see them everywhere.

[billybussey]

I know this thread isn't here just to help me, but please keep the comments coming guys, it helps me sort through the bad stuff.

I forget who said it, but someone said they lost their password, you can email me and I can recover it for you.

[thoriphes]

BB, it's an honor to have you as a member here. Your site is really great and you're a true inspiration.

Keep up the good work :thumb:

[sintax321]

That would be me. I'm almost certain my user name was "sintax321". You can e-mail it to me at sintax321@hotmail.com. It would be greatly aprreciated.(-:

[mdipi]

sintax why didnt you just use the lost password?

[sintax321]

He offerd is all and i thought i should respond.

I didnt' have time to the other night when I tried to log on there or o would have..

[mdipi]

i see, i was just wondering, cause for me it didnt work.
