Things from way back when
Do Terminators have backups too?!
|
 |
Main info
Its a good thing we backup our sites once in a while. Checking several disc-sets from way back when, we found
some cool interesting stuff, including developments and promotions for both this site and other Terminator related
sources and functions. Check out this little archive if things we did in the past, just here for nostalgic reasons...
or just for the fun of it. We've got more up our sleeves... in this case from the past ;).
««« | 360°collective
Developed as a online reviewing system, the 360°collective was a little applet filled with lots of collectables
from STAFFmaster Vic's private collection. The system was set up to make it possible to see collectables from all sides
...AND interact with it. In a semi-3d environment it was possible to move the loaded collectable and turn it either way
or let it spin by its own.
The project eventually did not see the light of day in its full stature. Having to develop almost all 3D worthy collectables
in one system would still mean it would have to have hunderds (or even thousands) more. Since every collectable concisted of
12 images weighing approx 300 KB in the end of their conversion, this would have its major toll on our bandwidth.
The 360°collective was scrapped when the new TerminatorFiles.com website (v1) was launched. It did have hundreds of
visitors in a period of somewhere around 3 months on the BrainzDezign.com website (the first TerminatorFiles homepage).
And since it did not get lost through time (thank god for backups!), here it is in its almost full glory with 2 of the
collectables enabled... for your viewing pleasure! Click image to load popup window. Needs Macromedia Flash and Sun
Microsystems Java to be viewed.
««« | Flashintros TerminatorFiles.com 2003-2005
The first ever intro to our site was initially made to tease everybody of our upcoming launch. It was online for almost
two months and kept running upto our decision to make one more. And that one kept running till we decided to make another.
Well... you've guessed it by now: if it was time to renew something, we always took notice of a new cool intro to be published.
Since most of them are still cool to view, we've included them in these archives... for all those that are interested in
flashed blast from the past.
Some of the elements -as can be found in the intros- will be republished in future products. Like for instance a screensaver
based on our last intro, where you can see the TerminatorFiles.com home base come online and hook up to the rest of the world...
totally in control of everything going on in the Terminator Universe. Well... sort of ;).
Some other tidbits here and there will be reused in other upcoming promos, just because the animations in themselfs cost
us a lot of time, and recycling them into other stuff is a lot easier. Though on second thought... building something new
would be more cool anyway. We'll have to see about that, whenever it comes around. Click image to load popup window with
more info. Needs Macromedia Flash to be viewed.
««« | T3:R Prelaunch Promo
A prelaunch promo held in August 2004, for the then upcoming console game Terminator 3: The Redemption. In collaboration
with Electric Artists, sites could help promote the new game with exclusive material.
Lots of fans and collegue sites launched their own promos and we for one could not be held back: with great enthousiasm
and a hunger for a exclusive promo (like non have done before), we build ourselfs a very cool mini-website based on the
animations found on the iTips DVD, which was part of the Electric Artists promotions. The mini-website even included a
cool gameworthy intro (or so we were told by one of the developers ;).
The design and promotion was soo unique that we recieved special prizes for our promotional efforts, including some emails
by the development team behind T3:R, filled with exclusive goodies from the game (which for legal reasons we can not distribute).
We also recieved several different console versions of the Terminator 3: The Redemption game, for the enjoyment of the TerminatorFiles
STAFF and other people that helped with our site and promotions. Electric Artists even included several versions of the
game that was next in line for promotion! Thanx again to all involved for sending us this cool stuff! Click image to load popup

| INTERESTING FACT |
Since the launch, the STAFF behind TerminatorFiles.com has backuped its site and sources on more then 30 cd-roms.
This is an aquivilent of approx. 20 gigs of data, just to produce the output you see today!
Including -but not limited to- every little bit of news, imagery, collectable info, trailers, videos,
sounds, 3D models, vectorised stuff, animations and of course all designer data for
the site.
The design itself is 122 megs: several image and animation files are needed for all the
seperate parts of this site and its promotions... all in layered files with every
possible chunk of uncompressed data archived in a local database!
...Talk about archiving ;)
