Hi guys, so I'm back again ![smiling]()
So I've got a new project at university in which I'll be making a website for my rock band, and I thought I'd really like to use B4W for this.
The band is called 'Love the Bomb', like the subtitle of Stanley Kubrick's great 'Dr Strangelove' movie classic. I was thinking of doing a 3d animation of my band playing a song on top of a falling nuclear bomb, similar to the final scene in the movie. I've already got the animations done in blender, might be a bit large for B4W though.
I imagined it would be awesome to have the animation playing as a loop and having the website menu on top of that, similar to this pretty simple but awesome looking website: https://theintercept.com/drone-papers
What do you guys think, would it be possible for someone with no knowledge of making websites to do this in a reasonable amount of time? Or should I better stick with a 2d website template? :D
Cheers folks, hope you're doing fine!

Thanks guys, real glad you like it!
I wouldn't have gotten anything at all done without your help, Pavel, so thanks again man![smiling]()
I might be doing another project with B4W next semester at university so you'll probably hear from me sometime in a couple of months (when I start running into problems again
)
Edit: By the way, I got the thing running in firefox, too, now. I ended up using the mp3 format which seems kind of weird as firefox is not listed as supporting mp3 in the manual^^ but cool that it does anyway!
All the best and keep up the amazing work,

One more quick question, though^^
I'd be surprised if there was a solution for this, but I'll ask anyway:
The alpha mask setup for revealing objects that you showed me works great, as long as the object is upright.
But if I rotate the object the alpha mask obviously 'cuts off' the top of the object horizontally.
Do you know of any way to achieve a kind of 'diagonal' reveal, like the left text in the following pic ? I'm guessing the answer is no, which is fine, I'm just curious
I'll just scale the text instead of 'revealing' it, in that case.

Thanks again
