"Requests" Category?

Or tutorials for do-it-yourself

from Stardock Forums

Ello.

I would very much like to purchase Deskcapes - I tried a trial version for a couple of days a few weeks back, but did not see a lot of content for it then.  In downloading more cursors for my CursorFX though, I see more Deskcapes content added daily although not sure if I can try the trial again since I uninstalled the first.  Anyway, my questions are:

1. If I do buy it, are there tutorials you can point me to for making my own Deskcape Dreams?  I make content for the Sims' games and screensavers, so I'd love to try my hand at this.  While we're at it, a tutorial for making CursorFX cursors would be great too.  The CursorFX "New Package" button is a good start, but a step-by-step tutorial with maybe some animation script examples would be awesome just to get a feel for it.

2. Is there a Request Category where users may request a Dream, or is there plans for one?  Not that every request needs to be met, but it might be a nice tool for both creators to get ideas and new users to get a 'customized' experience with Stardock products.

 

Attached are a couple of screensavers which I'd love as Deskcapes and if not too difficult for a newbie like me to make, would buy Deskcapes today.  Thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

You can always make a request right here in this forum for your Deskscape needs.

We will do are best to get you an answer .

as far as the Trial it's one and done so can't use it again. DeskScapes 10 app is available 

2 ways as a stand alone or included in Object Desktop ( on sale now) ......  https://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/download

as part of Object Desktop DeskScapes 11 ( in the works right now ) would be included when ready .

BTW .. you file did not download ..

Making Dreams for your personal use anything is fair game , if you want to make to upload to the site

then there are Guidelines that have to be met https://forums.wincustomize.com/144934/page/1/#replies

Here's is one link a help tutorial of sorts https://forums.wincustomize.com/461882/page/1/#3556543

Dream making requires some video editing skills and some programs to help with that .

So if you have those skills great if not then will take some practice to work on them .

With the DeskScapes app clicking on the online tab will load tons of dreams or

click on a author to get their dreams loaded up . Lot of Special Effects features are included.

As you go forward if you have a question just post here in the forum in DeskScpaes.

This video gives you a quick DS10 view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6V8ntd8-TA

and lastly make sure your Windows 10 OS is fully updated to it's latest version for best results.

** also in the future it is best to post a screenshot here in the forum for us to see or a 

video capture or a Link to view .... do not post a file to be downloaded .

Understood. 

After leaving a 'garbled' video upload here, I uninstalled my Camtasia on this OS and thought I could move my licensing seat to my new system, but they still haven't replied in order to help me do it, so I'm out of video editing software unless I try to reinstall it on this one again, but this reminds me to message them again.  Thought screensavers would be simple/safe enough.  Ooops. 

Attached are screenshots.  They're super simple; or at least in terms of making screensavers.  I just have falling leaves and bokeh lights on the first, and only fog on the second.  The backgrounds, of course, are my desktop background images.  Not sure if a high-quality background is required to start out with for a Deskcape Dream, but the first is not too great to begin with.

 

Dang it.  I always forget we can record with our PHONES!  (I must be getting old).  They're pretty big files though and in .mov format. :/

Will check out tutorials.  There are very few things I can't grasp - except maybe using IP ;).  By the way, love your Vampire Dream.  It seems as if it would be adorable to use.

Hello,

 You can use a Free Image Hosting site which will give you a link

to post for viewing here in the forum ( No Download links ).

try this one https://imgur.com/?

You will need video editing programs and a good converter https://www.winxdvd.com/help/how-to-use-videoproc.htm

as you will need AVI format as of now for Deskscape 10 dreams .

and file size limit as of now is 150.mb's

Check out the links I gave you before your next post here ..

Yes, normally use Imgur for screenshots, but not videos.  Will probably opt for the new CursorFX then think about Deskcapes at a later time. Things should be easy, and don't want to pay to give myself a new to-do list item of having to create what I need for it, although learning something new is always nice.  Thanks for the links.  Just found a Youtube one for making CursorFx cursors.  Might start with that.
