hardware OS4   hardware OS4 : SAM460Lite & AmigaOS4.1 for DjNick bounty
   posted by kas1e on 6-Jan-2012 11:22:26 (18157 reads)
Most of DjNick's music and graphics was done on Amiga back in the days, and now, he want to help AmigaOS4 to get some better design by making improved skins, icons and graphics. But its pretty hard to be working effectively on gfx design of OS and OS components, when you don't own the actual machine. So, this bountys aim is to get Nikola a sam460EX Lite motherboard & AmigaOS4.1 licence. The Sam460 is EUR 610,- excl. shipping and vat. So we should end at around EUR 850,- which is what we are trying to collect.




Do you remember the days when Amiga was popular because of our skilled artists, who contributed stunning tunes and graphics for amiga games, demos and apps? Sure you remember those days. Many of us was attracted to Amiga because of that.

One of the old-known graphic artist and musicians is DjNick (Nikola Tomic, from Serbia). He contributed for Amiga community back in the past with f.ex. non-commercial music video for a goa-trance song with the name "Warp", which features 3D animations made in LightWave. You can check that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD_AltKxwwo
DjNick also Composed music and sound effects for Amiga game "Capital Punishment" for Canadian Publishers "ClickBoom". It was the top Seller "beat’em-up" game in 1996, with music and SFX scores as high as 97% in some computer magazines.

Some recent work of DjNick can be seen on the freshly done AmigaOS4 site http://amigaos.net, which was done to help Hyperion to have a good looking and professional site. Just check all the links below, where you can find most of DjNick's work (music, graphics etc.).

http://www.djnick.rs
http://djnick2k.deviantart.com/gallery
http://www.behance.net/djnick
http://www.coroflot.com/djnick
http://www.youtube.com/djnykk
http://www.graphicriver.net/user/djnick/portfolio?ref=djnick

The work Nikola will do as compensation for the motherboard+OS is outlined belov. Keep in mind that this will be not be official work managed by Hyperion, but 3rd party contributions from a skilled graphic artist.

1. New AOS4 themes (At least one new stylish theme).

2. New Frames for MUI (version of MUI, which will be released in AmigaOS4.2). Those frames can also be used on Morphos's MUI4, so MOS-users can contribute as well;)

3. New MUI themes (At least one new stylish theme). As we soon will have an updated MUI(4?), themes can also be used for MorphOS MUI4 as well.

4. New AOS4 backdrops (1, 2 or more).

5. New AOS4 icons for different kind of projects/games/demos/mags/apps (1, 2 or more, depends).

6. Workbench loading audio samples with female voice.

7. AmigaOS video presentations and animations on Youtube with examples what Amiga can do today.

Understand that this is the minimum work that will be done as compensation for the bounty, much more will hopefully come in the future.

With this bounty we can attract a good designer that loves Amiga computers and it's OS, please make a donation today.

@joeled
If only someone will contact with them, ask if they want it, and so on. And of course not for everyone need to make bountyes, because some of them are prove that they can/want/and do something back in past, just have problems now, but not to persons who can only talks and do nothing not back in past, not now :)

For example, i see that AmiDog now on site. And he prove with all his work (like FPSE) that he can do good stuff. If he do not have machine currently, will be cool to make one more for him :)

@kas1e

>>Plz, not that old-the-same-song about how uniq amigaos4. Making good desing, does not mean it will be copy paste.

Well that is just my opinion. I like the saying: "if it's not broken don't fix it"
If the end result doesn't damage performance then it's most welcomed.

>>Did you all check DjNick's sites ? Did you all see what kind of work he can do ? Did you all understand, that its not "copy" of "somthing ", with "loosing of uniq design" ? That all about making good design, for you all, to have you pleased. Not need to fear that someone, somethere will copy something .. blah .. its just really strange to hear that.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying but yes, I have seen his work.
I didn't say copy. Also it's good to know what others think isn't it?


>>Yes, we are. There is nothing like "loose identity" when you simply have more than one designer who can do professional stuff. You all want stuck with all that sites on html, porno-games on hollywood and pdf mags with top-ten-os4depot-uploads, or you want to have some good #### ?

Whaaat?



>>Booting for 1 second, its up to hyperion. DjNikk are gfx/musican.

Well I did say a nice picture would be nice

Just donated my loose change

I've a good feeling about this. There's no doubting his talent. I don't currently have an OS4 machine, but I do think there will be plenty of people who will be happy with his work.

Let's hope this will inspire others to get creative with their talent!

@jd997uk

Even some are good ! And yeah, i for myself worry about all of this only because i see that he is _really_ have talent. Not like someone think that they have talent, and pretend on something. Its was really good to use old classic amigas, which was full of talented persons. More on NG oses, the more fun we all will have.

And in general i for myself have some from that : he will paint new frames for mui, as currently we have nothing , just only few from Walkero. And that will help and os4, and can be used on morpho's mui, and can be used lately in Zune on aros, if it will reach someday level of mui4.
