Author Topic: REQ: Mortal Kombat Marquee Vectorized (Read 3201 times)

I'm in the process of putting together a Mortal Kombat I cabinet. It's going into a 19" Dynamo cab.

The original marquees are sized for a 25" cabinet, and I do not want to cut one down. Having one printed to size would be my best option.

Regretably my scanner no longer has magic smoke, so I cannot scan my existing marquee.

I can do something!

I can also use your logo and some effects...

I'm afraid of working on raster images because i'm not sure how it will coma out printed!

You could goto Kinkos or something and have them scan your marquee. That would sure make easier for someone here to vectorize it for you.

Yeah, I can't find any decent scans of it on the 'net either. And I'm poor! How much does Kinkos charge for a scan like that?

By the hour. Expensive. Just for me to start the account, make one incorrect printout, it costs like, $10.

Find a friend with a scanner would be my suggestion.

Which would be useful if I had friends.

Ah well, my cabinet shall just be topless.

I was thinking about something really simmilar, not the original completly vectorized... $:-\$

Here's a Mortal Kombat marquee I found. Not the best for sure, but since I have zero talent, and I've seen people do amazing stuff with worse...

Can you find one at a local arcade? If so I can vectorize off of OK photos. Just give me some detail shots, and I can put something together.

Hey! My digital camera is working again! I can take a shot of the one I have!

The big reason I'm trying to get this done (other than having it in the repository) is I've got a 19" cabinet, and this went in a 25". I could cut it down, but that just wouldn't be right!

SirPeale · « **Reply #10 on:** March 02, 2004, 08:21:42 am »

Okay, I have them now. How should I get them to you? I took them @ max resolution for the best clarity. So they're ~750k each.

mahuti · « **Reply #11 on:** March 02, 2004, 09:41:55 am »

Send them in my email. I don't have a cap, so anything you send I can receive.

SirPeale · « **Reply #12 on:** March 02, 2004, 09:55:15 am »

Done. It's a 6.9M attachement, so it might take a while to download if you're on a slow connection.

Stick it here.

looks great.

SirPeale · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2004, 07:44:24 pm »

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

SirPeale · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2004, 11:38:27 pm »

I am not asking to be a pain or anything, but I'm curious as to the status of your project!

mahuti · « **Reply #17 on:** March 07, 2004, 01:20:34 am »

Sorry, I updated the vector wip rather than this thread.

Pretty good. I just have the dragons to finish. I'm going to work on it tonight.

I'll update you after that.

mahuti · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2004, 05:01:02 am »

done. check the vector library.

SirPeale · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2004, 10:25:10 am »

Holy...impressive! Very impressive!
