				<title>Fancier logos</title>
				<description>&lt;p class=&quot;txt blk&quot;&gt;
Since forever, MakeSweet has been a handy place to
convert a stencil into a 3D logo.  For example, say
you wanted to make a 3D hippo logo from a stencil like this:
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/p/logo/hippo/hippo.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;hippo&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;txt blk&quot;&gt;
Then a &lt;a href=&quot;/logo/&quot;&gt;quick visit to our logo generator&lt;/a&gt; later,
you have a dozen black-and-white models like this:
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/p/logo/hippo/boring-hippo.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;3d hippo&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;txt blk&quot;&gt;
Now the new bit - we've added some new ray-traced physically
realistic materials, like bronze, gold, glass and marble:
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/p/logo/hippo/bronze-hippo.png&quot; alt=&quot;bronze hippo&quot; /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/p/logo/hippo/gold-hippo.png&quot; alt=&quot;gold hippo&quot; /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/p/logo/hippo/glass-hippo.png&quot; alt=&quot;glass hippo&quot; /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/p/logo/hippo/marble-hippo.png&quot; alt=&quot;marble hippo&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;txt blk&quot;&gt;
Get your own at the &lt;a href=&quot;/logo/&quot;&gt;logo page&lt;/a&gt;. Enjoy!
&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Blue sky flag video</title>
				<description>&lt;p class=&quot;blk&quot;&gt;
Now you can make higher resolution videos of your
&lt;a href=&quot;/my/blue-sky-flag&quot;&gt;flag against a blue sky&lt;/a&gt;!
The video loops perfectly, repeating seamlessly.
I guess we got lucky with the wind &amp;#x1F643;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;video controls loop&gt;

				<title>Billboard animation</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;On MakeSweet, we've had lots of animations, and lots of billboards, but never a billboard animation.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/my/billboard-cityscape&quot;&gt;Until now&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Valentine cake animation</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;We're cooking up a new animation in time for Valentine's day: a &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-cake'&gt;cake animation&lt;/a&gt; with your choice of picture or text.  Bonus: you also control the label on a nearby bottle of wine.  We've also &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/tag/valentine&quot;&gt;plenty of designs from previous years&lt;/a&gt; - heart lockets, falling rings, butterfly wings, opening flowers, and more!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Happy New Year 2014!</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Where will the new year lead you? Visualize the path you want to take with the &lt;a href=http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-new-year-2014&gt;2014 generator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-new-year-2014&gt;&lt;img src='/images/what_will_2014_bring.gif' alt='what_will_2014_bring.gif' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We're a bit late posting this generator since our own path for 2013 led us to a small farm in the middle of Ireland with very spotty internet.  Sorry!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Towering over LA</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Ever wanted to see the faces of your family towering over Los Angeles?  Now you can, with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-hotel-figueroa&quot;&gt;Hotel Figueroa generator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-hotel-figueroa&quot;&gt;&lt;img src='/images/hotel_figueroa.png' alt='hotel_figueroa.png' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Better still, if you ever wanted to print a MakeSweet design, if you look just beneath the hotel picture you'll see options for RIDICULOUSLY HIGH resolution.  Be prepared to zoom out a lot in your browser if you click there!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>A Valentine animation</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Recently Nathan Salapat posted a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blendswap.com/blends/scenes/valentine-animation/&quot;&gt;Valentine animation&lt;/a&gt; on BlendSwap that showed a golden ring falling onto an open book, with the pages set up to show photos of a couple - and with the lighting set up to cast the shadow of a heart through the ring.  A neat trick!  We couldn't resist setting up a generator for it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-shadow'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/heartshadow.gif' alt='heartshadow.gif' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-shadow'&gt;Make your own falling ring animation&lt;/a&gt; or take a look at &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/blog/2012/02/11/makesweet-love/'&gt;romantic designs from previous years&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

				<description>&lt;p&gt;We made this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-rubiks-cube&quot;&gt;Rubik's cube animation&lt;/a&gt; to show how people come together in the apparently haphazard puzzle of life.  Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Green and gold</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;St. Patrick's day is rolling around again, and we're seeing people rediscover our &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-pot-of-gold'&gt;Pot of Gold filler&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src='/images/who_do_you_treasure.gif' alt='who_do_you_treasure.gif' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Hmm, technically that should probably be &quot;whom do you treasure&quot; not &quot;who do you treasure&quot; - but, let's face it, St. Patrick's day is not reknowned for the quality of its grammar).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And there's the ever-popular &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-board-1054'&gt;Chicago River dyer&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src='/images/cute_dog_in_river.jpg' alt='cute_dog_in_river.jpg' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those looking for bigger pictures, just remember to scroll down and click on &quot;high resolution&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src='/images/cute_dog_in_river_big.jpg' alt='cute_dog_in_river_big.jpg' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you've questions, or ideas for a new design, just &lt;a href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/MakeSweet/60861926433'&gt;pop over to Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and talk to us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-valentine-flowers'&gt;Valentine Flowers design&lt;/a&gt; is a pair of flowers in a field, opening in the sun. What's inside? You decide.&lt;/p&gt;

				<description>&lt;p&gt;New design for the holidays: an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-gift-box&quot;&gt;animated gift box&lt;/a&gt; pops open, out tumble a bundle of heart balloons, two of which have your photos or messages on them.  Too sappy?  Hey, we're called &quot;MakeSweet&quot; for a reason.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-locket&quot;&gt;Heart lockets&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-valentine&quot;&gt;heart sunsets&lt;/a&gt;, you can never have too many hearts, in our opinion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This design adds to our collections of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/tag/festival&quot;&gt;festive&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/tag/romance&quot;&gt;romantic&lt;/a&gt; designs. Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Animated flags, with your choice of background (including none)</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-flag&quot;&gt;animated flag generator&lt;/a&gt; is a hit, and we like the background in it (the sky as seen from a very pleasant seaside town in Italy, of which we have fond memories). People sometimes ask for a different background, or a blank background.  We've just updated a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-moving-flag&quot;&gt;version of the generator&lt;/a&gt; that lets you do just that:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align='center'&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-moving-flag&quot; title='make an animated flag with custom material and background'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/animated_flag_with_custom_background.gif' animated_flag_with_custom_background' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For your own background, add a picture using the &quot;+&quot; button as usual, and drag it from the flag onto the background.  For a blank background, well, you don't have to do anything at all.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-moving-flag&quot;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to get started on your own flag!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Jack is back: halloween pumpkin animation generator updated</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Halloween is rolling around again, that means it is time to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-halloween-pumpkin&quot;&gt;carve that pumpkin&lt;/a&gt; with our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-halloween-pumpkin&quot;&gt;online halloween pumpkin carver&lt;/a&gt;!  If you need help figuring out how to use this widget, you can get the basic idea from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/blog/2010/09/03/makesweet-the-movie/&quot;&gt;MakeSweet, the Movie&lt;/a&gt;.  For pumpkin-carving, you can carve text or silhouettes (black and white images work best).  Enjoy! &lt;/p&gt;

				<description>&lt;p&gt;In good time for the new year, we've prepared a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-new-year-2011&quot;&gt;Happy New Year 2011 animation generator&lt;/a&gt;.  You get to decide what the new year will hold:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-new-year-2011'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/new_year_2011_question.gif' alt='new_year_2011_question.gif' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can make still frames or animations.  What do you want to see in the new year?&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Hang your stocking</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Time to think about hanging a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-christmas-stocking&quot;&gt;stocking on the mantelpiece&lt;/a&gt;.  Here's a design I made for my son:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-christmas-stocking'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/xmas_stocking.jpg' alt='xmas_stocking.jpg' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And here's how to do it, step-by-step, using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-christmas-stocking&quot;&gt;Christmas Stocking generator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/cOsV-FfuVk0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/cOsV-FfuVk0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to &lt;a href='http://www.youtube.com/user/pknobloch'&gt;Patrick Knobloch&lt;/a&gt; for his graphic skills!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Make your own billboard generator</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;MakeSweet has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/tag/billboard&quot;&gt;lot of billboard scenes&lt;/a&gt;.  But what if you want to create a new one?  Or see what different photos would like like in a frame on your wall?  That's going to get a whole lot easier now, with our latest &lt;a href=&quot;http://media.makesweet.com/design/&quot;&gt;MakeSweet Designer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrncwL86yH4&quot;&gt;Watch the demo video!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/TrncwL86yH4?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/TrncwL86yH4?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*update* Added an option to &quot;screen out&quot; the framed area, to hide anything already there in real life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ready to &lt;a href=&quot;http://media.makesweet.com/design/&quot;&gt;try it out?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>MakeSweet, the Movie</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;We've posted a short video showing how to use MakeSweet to create animations.  Specifically, we tackle the problem of how to make an &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-locket'&gt;animated heart&lt;/a&gt; showing our beloved cat and what they are thinking (hint: they are not happy - feed them).  Suggestions for a sound-track are welcome :-). Lots of other animated possibilities &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/tag/animation'&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/QVyWZ84cFA4?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/QVyWZ84cFA4?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Intersect this!</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Ever speculated about what two things would make if you put them together?  A &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.funny-potato.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/odd-couple.jpg&quot;&gt;monkey and a bird&lt;/a&gt;?  A &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spork&quot;&gt;spoon and a fork&lt;/a&gt;?  Two of your best friends?  Now you can show your theories visually, with our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-intersect&quot;&gt;Venn diagram&lt;/a&gt; generator.  Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>St Patrick’s day graphics</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;For the Irish amongst us, St Patrick's day is rolling around again.  Don't forget our &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-pot-of-gold'&gt;pot-of-gold&lt;/a&gt; animation that lets you decide who you'd like to see at the end of the rainbow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-pot-of-gold'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/happy-saint-patricks-day.gif' alt='Happy St Patrick’s day!' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And there's also the ever-popular if somewhat bizarre &lt;a href='/mixer/my-board-1054'&gt;float-a-picture-on-the-Chicago-River&lt;/a&gt;, which is dyed green for Paddy's day every year:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-board-1054'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/river-dyed-green.jpg' alt='River Dyed Green for Saint Pat’s day' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Animation fixes</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Animation output was broken on some generators recently  Sorry, should be fixed now!  Thanks to [lara] for the report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the plus side, we've been improving the animation-making interface.  The movie button has been made (hopefully) more prominent, and there's a clearer movie scroll bar for moving back and forth between frames.  Also, you can choose between animations that are cheap-and-cheerful and fast to make, and animations that are slower to make but clearer -- just click on the movie icon, and then on either the grainy &quot;fast&quot; button or the crisp &quot;slow&quot; button.  Suggestions for cleverer icons are very welcome :-).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-locket'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/animate_me_baby.png' alt='animate_me_baby.png' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Butterfly animation for Valentine’s day</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;In preparation for Valentine's day, we've just added a &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-butterfly'&gt;butterfly animation&lt;/a&gt; that looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src='/images/butterfly_flutterby.gif' alt='butterfly_flutterby.gif' /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To put your own beloved in the picture, just &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-butterfly'&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; (if you think you recognize the butterfly, that's because it comes from the &lt;a href='http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/'&gt;Big Buck Bunny&lt;/a&gt; movie - thanks to the &lt;a href='http://www.blender.org'&gt;Blender Foundation&lt;/a&gt; for releasing their characters into the wild under a friendly license!).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And don't forget, there's plenty of other equally &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/tag/romance'&gt;romantic designs&lt;/a&gt; lying around from Valentine's past: &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-heart-locket'&gt;Heart lockets&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-valentine'&gt;heart showers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-candle'&gt;candles&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-wine-bottles'&gt;wine bottles&lt;/a&gt;, ... we're doing our best for you on the 14th!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Make a TV generator in Photoshop/GIMP</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks to everyone who has signed up as a &lt;a href='http://live.makesweet.com/signup'&gt;generator designer&lt;/a&gt;.  There's a lot of interest in using Photoshop to make generators, so we've been working on ways to support Photoshop, GIMP, etc.  We have the beginnings of a workflow that we'd be excited to get feedback about.  You can read about it here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='http://live.makesweet.com/faq/guide#probe_method'&gt;Generator Guide v0.3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There's a worked example of making this generator for putting pictures on a retro TV, using Photoshop or the GIMP:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://live.makesweet.com/gen/tv.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://live.makesweet.com/gen/tv.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(If you are reading this via email or a feed reader, you can see the generator &lt;a href='http://live.makesweet.com/view/tv'&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blender is hard to beat for making animations and complex scenes, but there's plenty of simple cases that should be easy to do this way.  We look forward to seeing what you all come up with!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Have an animated new year 2010!</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;We hope your new year is an animated one!  This year has been a busy one for MakeSweet.  From time to time, heavy traffic has forced us to limit generation of animations on our site.  In 2010, that should be a thing of the past.  For a preview of what is to come, see our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-new-year-2010&quot;&gt;New Year 2010 animation generator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-new-year-2010'&gt;&lt;img src='/images/animated_new_year_2010.gif' alt='animated_new_year_2010.gif' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you add your pictures or words to the animation, you'll find a new &quot;movie&quot; button.  This creates a custom GIF animation that you can save on your computer.  So far, so familiar.  What is new is that all work is done on your computer, rather than ours.  So we can keep this service free for all to use as they like, without bankrupting ourselves.  And your photos never leave your computer, so you can be even more sure of your privacy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, for distributors of MakeSweet generators, this removes the last requirement for special server support.  Now all you need to host a complete, stand-alone generator is a regular webserver.  We'll be updating &lt;a href=&quot;http://live.makesweet.com&quot;&gt;MakeSweet Live&lt;/a&gt; in the new year to reflect the new possibilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Happy New Year!  (P.S For those that way inclined: our popular &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-christmas-ornament&quot;&gt;Christmas Ornament generator&lt;/a&gt; from last year is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-christmas-ornament&quot;&gt;going strong&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Make a software box</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src='/images/makesweet_generators.jpg' alt='makesweet_generators.jpg' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want to make a picture of a nice shiny shrink-wrap box for your software?  It is sometimes useful to make even the most abstract of virtual products tangible.  There's lots of programs out there to do it, but MakeSweet lets you do it live and online.  Just click the big &quot;plus&quot; button to add your picture to this box (requires &lt;a href='http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'&gt;Flash 10&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://live.makesweet.com/gen/software_box.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://live.makesweet.com/gen/software_box.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(don't see anything?  go &lt;a href='http://live.makesweet.com/view/software_box'&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This design is just a simple test of our new &lt;a href='http://live.makesweet.com/workshop/'&gt;Blender to Flash workshop&lt;/a&gt;; if you know how to use &lt;a href='http://www.blender.org'&gt;Blender&lt;/a&gt;, you can upload a design and have it converted to a Flash generator automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Getting flashy</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;We are experimenting with a new interface to our generators.  Here's a (slightly out of season) version of our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/mixer/my-christmas-ornament&quot;&gt;christmas ornament&lt;/a&gt; - requires &lt;a href='http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'&gt;Flash 10&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/serve/xmas_ornament_001.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/serve/xmas_ornament_001.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For maximum fun, click-and-drag on the ornament itself.  Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>MakeSweet Fail</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;We've had to bring some services down for unscheduled maintenance.  Basic image generation is operational, but animations, high-resolution views, and generator creation services are currently down.  Sorry!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We're seeing unusual server performance problems happening sporadically.  We'll be bringing services back online one by one as we update them to prevent such events recurring.&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>BlenderArt write-up</title>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;There's a write-up about MakeSweet (&lt;a href='http://www.makesweet.com/pub/blenderart-21/'&gt;html&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makesweet.com/pub/blenderart-21/blenderart-makesweet.pdf&quot;&gt;pdf&lt;/a&gt;) in Issue 21 of &lt;a href='http://www.blenderart.org/issues/'&gt;BlenderArt magazine&lt;/a&gt;.  It gives some insight on where MakeSweet came from and how it works.  The issue is a show-case of fun and odd-ball things that people are doing with &lt;a href='http://www.blender.org'&gt;Blender&lt;/a&gt;.  Nice to be in such good company!&lt;/p&gt;
