WWtools must have Icons : )

Hi Shawn. This is my first icons test  for WWtools. Tell me what you think about it.

I like these! I guess one thing is to decide what functions are best suited for icons (all the macroscripts that are part of WW for sure... and then perhaps some other UI elements). Hopefully we can get some others to chime in with opinions.

Heh, these are quite nice. I like how cute some of these worms look. I'm not that familliar with all the wallworm tools outside of mostly the model exporing, but for me anyways it's not that descriptive what they would be for, at first glance anyway. Though I'm sure they'll make it easy once you get familliar with them. I'm not really sure what could use icons but I'm thinking the worm with the big eyes (7th from the right) would fit great for a donate button xP, though i guess that's not something that would get priority being a toolbar but still. Or possibly worm face. Looks nice so far tho!

Image after upload somehow blurred
in the next release I will point out which functions which icons in my opinion
It still in develop. I need some time to learn this subject(24px icon design)

MikhailVasilev

I want to find a style. I am not happy at all last icons.

I personally think I like the more whimsical icons above.

MikhailVasilev

Mikhail... still have access to the files for this project? I'd like to add some icons at some point and I always did like your ideas.

Time flies!

There are some major updates to WW coming and I'd like to include some UI polish with them. You still interested in providing icons? If Mikhail cannot, maybe someone else has good icon design skills and some free time?

I'd like the icons to be simple and friendly (as in Mikhail's examples). I'm not necessarily a fan of the current software trend to make icons all monotone... as I would prefer that the colors of icons can help draw your eyes to specific functions.

If possibly, please make the icons either in CorelDraw (any version), SVG or Adobe Illustrator up to CS5.

Anyone who can provide me a complete set of the icons below that I like will get a WW Store voucher to get all commercial WW plugins (WW Pro, Corvex, etc).
