Good Morning! I agree. Here's something I've been doing. Aside from working on my personal plugins, I've been wanting to show my appreciation to the community by designing a set of 3d assets / filmstrips that people can use on their projects.

There are quite a few regulars in here that always get me going when im stuck. I Love it here!

This is just a mockup of one of the kits im working on. All of these assets should be available for anyone to use soon. Dont quote me on "soon". Im sure everyone in here has 10 things going at once lol.

Im still messing around with the faceplate so the actual release might not be exact.

Much Love to the community!
Special Thanks to @Christoph-Hart
and honorable mention to Mr. @d-healey who got me going on all this in the first place!
Im soaking it all in!

Freebie for the community.

Here's the script:

namespace LafRealKeyboard
{
	const var FloatingTile1 = Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1");
	const var Laf_RealKeys = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();
	
	//! DRAW WHITE NOTE
	Laf_RealKeys.registerFunction("drawWhiteNote", function(g,obj)
	{
		var a = obj.area;
		var WhiteUp = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}WHITE KEY - UP 11.png", "WHITE KEY - UP 11.png");
		var WhiteDown = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}WHITE KEY - DOWN 11.png", "WHITE KEY - DOWN 11.png");
		
		if (obj.down)
		{
			g.drawImage("WHITE KEY - DOWN 11.png", a, 0, 0);
			g.setColour(Colours.red);			
		}
		if (!obj.down)
		{
			g.drawImage("WHITE KEY - UP 11.png", a, 0, 0);	
		}	
	});
	Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1").setLocalLookAndFeel(Laf_RealKeys);
	
	//! DRAW BLACK NOTE
	Laf_RealKeys.registerFunction("drawBlackNote", function(g,obj)
	{
		var a = obj.area;
		var BlackUp = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}BLACK KEY - UP 11.png", "BLACK KEY - UP 11.png");
		var BlackDown = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}BLACK KEY - DOWN 11.png", "BLACK KEY - DOWN 11.png");
		
		if (!obj.down)
		{
			g.drawImage("BLACK KEY - UP 11.png", a ,0, 0);	
		}
		if (obj.down)
		{	
			g.drawImage("BLACK KEY - DOWN 11.png", [a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3] + 10] ,0, 0);
		}
	});
	Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1").setLocalLookAndFeel(Laf_RealKeys);
}

Download these images and add them to your projects 'Images' folder. F5. Enjoy.

@rglides SAMPLE:

*HISE Logo for fun. Dont sue me. lol

Ok just sharing my first 3d Knob that I made! This is gonna be fun.

@lalalandsynth how do you get your shadows to show up in the animation? I can seem to get mine to show up on the transparent areas.

@Chazrox man I really figured this one out on my own and im proud of myself. lol

I started digging around and I opened the corresponding .xml file for the project and noticed in one of the lines that it was pointing to a default preset that no longer existed in the expected folder it was supposed to be in. Turns out I DID do something, which was move that folder that the preset was supposed to be in. I deleted that line and everything opened up as normal. fweeww! Sweats! haha.

this thing...

@clevername27 agreed. Just resubscribed for my second month and the amount that i've learned so far is insane.

@d-healey Woah! That changed the game for me! Now I can use my Blender skills to make my own assets! Cheee! Thank You Sir! Dont mind this crappy design, I just did it for testing.

chanting Lets go Christoph! Lets GO!

Im sure all my bugs are covered here so im just sending some good energy! haha
@Christoph-Hart

Besides my console models, I decided to start making some pedal kits for everyone too! Lmk if you guys have any requests.

const var screenshot = ! Render;
so dont judge my lighting so hard. lol

Is there a LAF function that works for this yet?

@rglides np. After I seen that I said "nope". haha.

@rglides I messed with the button a little bit. If you dump parameters after each button press you can see its changing the value but for some reason the button doesnt reflect the state change. Thats a little weird so idk about that one.

@VirtualVirgin I just found this myself.

	YourComboBox.registerFunction("getIdealPopupMenuItemSize", function(obj)
	{		 
		// this will set the width to 200 and height to 50 // adjust both params
		return [40, 20];
		 
		// sets the height to 30 // Uses "default" width and adjust height only
		//return 30;
	});

Choose one or the other obviously.

@d-healey Good to know! I LAF everything so I didnt notice this was even broken.

@VirtualVirgin That should work unless you have some kind of LAF interfering.

@d-healey said in I STILL cant compile DLL's // What am I doing wrong? // Taking all suggestions.:

keep the HISE binary within the HISE source code folder

by this you mean, not move it from where its currently at?
I have it pinned to my dock already.

@DanH My projects are in my 'Documents' folder. I imagine that should be consistent with my admin permissions.

Would moving the location of Hise mess anything up with file paths?

@DanH Where would you suggest is the best place to run Hise from with this in mind?
