Faces, transitions and emotions

To see the faces, take a look at this page (what is fri3dbot?).

What is a face, transition and emotion?

A face is a 'personality' that is shown on screen, it is displayed for a while, then changed by the sceneDirector.
A transition is a short animation, shown when the sceneDirector changes the face. A list of transitions below.
Emotions are the animations played by the different faces, a list is below.

-- _transition_blocks: initially a set of falling small blocks, but deemed too resource intensive. Later changed to 1 big falling fri3d logo that bounces when hitting the ground, then falls trough it.
-- _transition_static: a video of tv static.
-- _transition_testbeeld1: a classic 'no signal' picture.
-- _transition_testbeeld2: another 'no signal' picture.
-- _transition_xpScreensaver: it's actually the windows vista screensaver :) just to get some people on edge ;).
-- _transition_Fri3dlogo: a fading fri3dlogo
-- _transition_bsod: har har, the pc died...
-- _transition_clear: just a black screen to show for a second. faces scripts look for _trans in a name to know when to destroy themselves. This transition is only used when interaction is changing a face.

This is the current set of faces and their emotions:
