Title: The Genie is out of the Bottle but She Needs a Name!
Post by: Pyromania on June 04, 2008, 04:54:22 AM: Genie Naming Contest from DiscreetFX

Chicago, Illinois – January 3rd, 2008

The Genie is finally out of the bottle. That's right Aladdin 4D now has it's own virtual character as part of a new branding campain. You knew that would happen right? You can she her image on the Aladdin 4D blog.

We have a problem though, she needs a name. We are asking for help from the Amiga & Aladdin 4D community to name her. There is $100 in it for you as well as a lifetime of free A4D upgrades on all platforms. In addition, you will get your name in the Aladdin 4D credits. How about it everyone? Submit your suggestions to the Aladdin 4D forums please or send an e-mail.

I noticed you uploaded the Aladdin SDK to Aminet, doesn't look entirely complete compared to what can still be downloaded from Nova Design.

A new version has now been uploaded.

Title: My name suggestion that won't win anyway :-P
Post by: weirdami on June 05, 2008, 01:21:00 AM: Since the software is "Aladdin", that's like "a lad in", as in in the lamp. Well, the genie chick is outside of the lamp so maybe she's "a lass out". So, her new name is "Alassout". :banana:

Post by: weirdami on June 05, 2008, 02:01:22 AM: I know. I did that one here because it was for fun. That's why I changed the title. :rtfm:

Post by: B00tDisk on June 05, 2008, 04:31:24 AM: I can "she" her? What, did Sean Connery post thish updatech?

Also, it's completely tasteless. It isn't 1942, that isn't a B17. Congratulations, you're pigs.

But as someone points out, at least it isn't a betitted skunk girl or lizard woman.

Post by: Plaz on June 05, 2008, 12:55:00 PM: Yes, you can tell she's quite excited to be out of the bottle. Maybe too excited for a normal advertising mascot.

Actually I'm remided of another Eric creation, but I can't find an image. Remember Anges from the Amiga web directory? All I can find is a link banner with the face....

Post by: Matt_H on June 05, 2008, 02:50:18 PM: Here's Agnes (http://www.cucug.org/amiga/images/agnes87.gif). Doesn't look like Eric's style (or signature), though.

Post by: motorollin on June 05, 2008, 04:47:20 PM: I used to like Eric Schwartz's pictures until I found out he's a "furry". Apparently this is somebody who likes drawing/looking at drawings of anthropomorphous animals shagging. Since I found out about that, all of his pictures seem distinctly sinister to me...

My mistake then. It seems I've credited Eric with another's work. Thanks for the complete pic though.

Title: transparent pngyness
Post by: weirdami on June 11, 2008, 10:35:33 AM: If anyone's interested, the large version of the genie girl picture is a transparent png. It looks less objectionable (albeit, still not quite safe enough for work) with a dark gray background.
