How to customize "Render Blade"

Update Jan 16/04

What you can

You can customize blew things.

1) Openg screen : Shown after Render Blade invoked.
2) Loading screen : Shown when data (LWS,rbd) is loading.
3) Multi camera icon : Shown the lws has some cameras. This icon shows what camera.
4) Random camera icon : Shown if lws has some camera and "random camera" option is on.

How to customize

That way is very simple. You can change all by just replacing "opening.rbd" and "loading.rbd" in "Data" folder with same directory with RenderBlade.exe to your own rbd.

Making opening screen

There is no rule without file name and placing to make your own opening.rbd. Convert your favorite lws to opening.rbd.
That file is automatically playbacked after Render Blade invoked. That's better you should make seamless scene file because opening.rbd is repeated.

Making loading screen

Loading screen has some rule to make it. See next section.
By replacing to "Data" folder, same as opening.rbd, your own loading screen will be shown

Loading.rbd has 256X256 pixel image which is show progress bar,(call it after "progress-bar images") and 40X40 pixel 2kinds of camera icons (for 9 multi cameraicons and 9 random camera icons).

All you can customize are progress-bar images and camera icons.
Background color, all image size, progress-bar size, progress-bar images and icon positions can't be changed.

How to make loading.rbd

Most easy way to make loading.rbd is download this sample file and unzip it, then replace all BMP files ruled below. DON'T CHANGE EACH FILE NAME AND FOLDER NAME! You don't need to edit lws.

BMP files are designed as :

１）progress-bar images

>File style

file name--NowLoading.bmp
W size = 256 pixel
H size = 256 pixel
Color = 256 color (8bit) : custom color table enable.

>Loading bar position (X,Y) ; show by program on progress-bar images

upper left=（39,222）
lower right=（217,241）
W size=178 pixel
H size=19 pixel

２）Camera icons

W size = 40 pixel
H size = 40 pixel
Color = 256 color (8bit) : custom color table enable.
Transparency caolor Black (R,B,G)=(0,0,0,)

>File names

Multi camera（fixed） "camera_fix_1.bmp" to "camera_fix_9.bmp"
Random camera "camera_ran_1.bmp"to "camera_ran_9.bmp"

Enjoy!
