---------+-+=) CLAY b o x (=+-+--------- created by Alexej Portnoff. portos@peterlink.ru V e r s i o n 1.0 ------ 10 June, 2000 ---------------=--==== @ ====--=----------------- Guess what ! All the elements of the skin are made of clay and then scanned. As most of you probably guesseed by now the clay I've got was red :). Amasingly you're right. Now I'll tell you what it cost me to make such a thing. The history of CLAYbox creation is full of dramatic events and adventures. I had to get dozens of tons of high quality clay just to make its model. In order to acheve this goal me and my friends had to rob a Clay Factory. All the clay was stored in the Secret Valley in Syberia. I can't tell you where it is ( It's secret coordinates ). It took us two weeks to get all the clay formed into rectangular pieces and put in together in the Valley. Days after days me and my friends were working their feet off to make up all the curves holls for Volume Bar, Seeking Bar etc. Whithout help of my friends I wouldn't be able to create a Time Display Field. Hell knows how many shoes and beer cans we have lost in there - deep under the clay. All the holes for buttons were done by showels and sometimes we had to wait for a few days untill the sun comes out so, clay melts and showels don't curve. At nights we would go to out tent camp where we had a volleybol place and a beech. There still a dent in this place in a lower right corner of a skin you can look. After the forming out part was done we have ordered a Fantom from CIA, so it flyes 2 miles above and makes pictures of what we've done. The photo documents it got were scanned. After a lot of hard work and suffering using Photoshop4 and Painter5 pictures were connected together using different skinners or sometimes simply by hands. So, after 4 month of work this Clay Skin finally appeared. This was the first and I hope not the last skin which I've done from scratch 'till the end. Special Thanks: Peter Michaelov Alexander Philippov -------------===-- @ --===------------- There is other version. CLAYbox_v1.1. is little bit different. All the buttons have different shapes ( circles , triangles etc.) Skin has a differenlty shaped buttons for CLAYbox and CLAYlist.
