The translucent, not transparent, look is very, very good.

Who knew that someone could do a Jello animation...

Great wobble!

I was inspired by Rossâ€™s Jello challenge and Soquiliâ€™s example but was busy preparing and then making a presentation this weekend - so just getting to it now!

I guess I didnâ€™t follow the directions properly. This batch isnâ€™t nearly as transparent as Garyâ€™s or as shiny as Soquiliâ€™s. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Bob you simply forgot to slightly oil the pan as Ross suggested ;-) The oil gives it that shine.

Bill, that jello of yours is fantastic!!!!! Great job!!!

Thanks Bob. I did that a little over 4 years ago. Niloufer did some digging to find that one after all this time

That's a wobbly jelly cube OK. Looks just like the real thing!

IE sets animations to a minimum frame rate value. I'm not sure what the figure is but I think it may be 100ms. I use Firefox, which respects the speed the artist sets for an animated gif to run at. Since I'm a Firefox user, the jelly cube gif runs at the speed it was designed to in the browser.

Sometimes, IE works in the user's favour because some animators seem to rely on IE's properties to set the speed their animations runs at, rather than specifying a speed within the gif. When these are viewed in Firefox, they run at a rate of knots that makes them just a blur.

Not animated, but here's one I did earlier. The basic shape was generated by Dmitry's "Spray" application.

Oh, and in the UK it's jelly, not Jell-O...

Nice image, Simon.

You know us Yanks, we always get things incorrect.

It's like the use of the name Kleenex for tissue paper. Regardless of the actual product name we call it Kleenex. Jell-o is the largest supplier of Jelly product so we use their name for the whole industry

I just realized I'm dating myself by using Kleenex's name. Most of the younger generation call them Puffs
