Just throwing an idea
« on: July 27, 2014, 07:11:05 am »
Hi guys ! I was playing with that idea for my MAME cab. In my head it was looking good anyways. I learnt quickly how to use sketchup to draw my control panel and at the same time I tried to put on paper my original idea. Since I have no knowledge of any other drawing software excepted paint, don't expect much quality here. If you have any advice or any help for me don't hesitate.

Don't forget it is only an idea thrown out here. It is in no way the whole art.

Thank you very much ! I highly appreciate it

What part of the cab is this for? The CP?

Yeah, at the moment I have no theme at all for my arcade cabinet. Since it's gonna be a mame cabinet I'd like something very generic or maybe a mashup with a lot of characters. This idea is just something I thought the other day.

I'd rather see you continue developing this idea than create a mash up.

That is exactly what I thought, that and calling it something-cade ! I'm still working on that. I think it'll be okay for the control panel but might be too charged for the side of the machine

Thanks for the input !
