Title: SNOW
Post by: Duskrider on February 16, 2013, 12:32:45 pm

Did you know we now have snow in haptek window?
The snow haptar is actually a large black ball you drop in her window to produce the snow.
There are white specks on the ball and the black ball is transparent.
Then the ball is rolling and what you see is white specks (snow) on rolling transparent ball.

So here's video of Sandee with snow.   
Snow is 15 feet from camera.  If I move Sandee back 15 feet, the snow would fall in front of her instead of behind her.

Video is an MP4 linked from Photobucket.
As photobucket open to public I suspect your computer don't have application to play MP4.
Windows media player in windows 7 plays MP4 as do other free graphic programs.
Your windows player probably just needs mp4 codic.

Incidently photobucket changed my wmv upload to MP4
Humm....    another example of authorities "knowing" what's best for us.   ;)

Technology changes all the time, don't we still find people using records?
each technology has a specific feel to it, like vinyl.
I'm enjoying playing with the haptek technology even though , its ancient and awkward.
And I'm really looking forward to the new 3-D engine .

There's no such thing as future proof that there is a good thing called legacy.

Duskrider,
  The video worked for me, thought it was pretty good.  I guess it could done with the active backgrounds.  Next to hook it up to the weather forcast.  Joking but a good vid.   Thanks for all you do.
