Ross proposed a Jello challenge, Wolfgang mentioned jiggeling Jello cubes, and Steve said to post in the Gallery. So, here's a Jello cube.
Can anyone explain why the animation is slower when viewed in a browser than when previewed in Xara X?!? When I open the file in IE6 it is noticably slower.
Sorry for the large file size.

Soquili Thats a jello dance! Looks real.
The action is wonderful and the combination of reflection, translucency and motion is very jello like for me!
I "saved as" and looked at your anim in IrfanView (it has a .gif player) and it played about 3X the speed of my browser but had some white banding.
I then loaded it in Ulead's GIF Animator and it played about the same speed as my browser (IE 5.5).
IE is the most common but not the best .gif player. In this case you are moving a lot of pixels. I suspect if you make the animation smaller it will play faster but this speed seems perfect to me!

Soquili,
I tried to get a bite of this, but it would just wiggle away ...
That's the Jello, I remember, great work !!
Wolfgang
I appreciate the compliments. It was surprizing how easy it was to make this using Xara X.
Soquili
Looks convincing. And the animation loads pretty fast on my system.

The translucent, not transparent, look is very, very good.
"mus' be jelly, 'cause jam don't shake like dat"
Who knew that someone could do a Jello animation...
Great wobble!

I was inspired by Ross’s Jello challenge and Soquili’s example but was busy preparing and then making a presentation this weekend - so just getting to it now!
I guess I didn’t follow the directions properly. This batch isn’t nearly as transparent as Gary’s or as shiny as Soquili’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.
Soquili
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.Quote:

I'm jellous , looks good enough to eat.
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. :D
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 :rolleyes:
I just realized I'm dating myself by using Kleenex's name. Most of the younger generation call them Puffs :(
Hello Mart,
Thanks for the information. I'm a bit of a diehard about browsers, the company intranet and our shipping system require Internet Explorer. Therefore I haven't even tried any of the newer browsers available. I can't afford to have my desktop having unknown changes that can affect my ability to troubleshoot any problems with the intranet or the shipping system. I depend on my laptop to work from home or when I'm on the road so I can't take chances with it either.
I know the newer browsers have some advantages, but when there are already millions of possible problems; adding an extra unknown factor on purpose isn't a wise choice.
i think this new generation has a new definition for a puff.....:confused:
So true Bob. Sometimes I wonder if the younger generation is even speaking the same corrupt version of English I grew up with :D
I just wish I was one of the younger generation :)
Huh? Speak up I don't hear so well! :D
Speaking of old! I'm amazed this thread is still here. I certainly enjoyed the jello ( colored, sweetened Gelatin) challenge that was inspired by your red wiggler Bill!
The Forums and the XaraXone continue to be such valuable resources for me.
