Hi guys could you recommend a good place for me to buy Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 cp overlays/ marquee art work kits etc. Iv looked everywhere and cant find a thing.

Crax · « **Reply #1 on:** April 09, 2007, 09:42:24 pm »

What companies did you use and what did you like/dislike about them?

Everybody seems to recommend mamemarquees for a lot of stuff

They have 2 versions of the MK3 marquee and also say on the main page that they have a lot of stuff not listed as they haven't had time to put them in yet. I would send them an email and see if they have what you want

Marky_1979 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 10, 2007, 05:14:34 pm »

I did email them but no reply

Thnks mate I did see that one but it wasn't what I was after either It was very wxpensive too for what it is. I'll keep searching and If I find anything I will let you know mate. Wish I was pretty good at art I could knock something up based on original.

Avalon · « **Reply #6 on:** April 18, 2007, 06:59:35 pm »

I'm looking for this one myself..

Not really sure if it's an original one though.

My guess about the expenses for an MK3 CPO or any MK CPO for that matter is that unless you get lucky on Ebay or something like that, investments are necessery to obtain one. $:-\$

We'll keep in touch in case one of us gets a hold of a nice one!

Marky_1979 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 18, 2007, 07:11:01 pm »

Yeah I found that one too but there's no contact details for that guy on his site so couldn't ask him where he got it. My favorite cab is this one by MKFAN I like his control panel but it is an original he got off ebay. Iv been searching for months now but no such look on e-bay.

Avalon · « **Reply #8 on:** April 20, 2007, 10:44:37 am »

The one I displayed was from Ebay aswell.

No such luck indeed!

Marky_1979 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2007, 01:58:56 pm »

Well live in hope shame there is nothing available on mamemarquees or any other sites. This kinda sucks as I cant complet my arcade now may have to re think another Midway style.

Avalon · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2007, 04:38:41 pm »

I hear you man!

You would think that MK3 CPO shouldn't be that hard to come by considering all the other Mortal Kombat CPO's are availeble one way or the other...

Maybe someone here could scan his or something

The search goes on..

Marky_1979 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:34:12 am »

Yes im sure in time it will be available

treborlicec · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2007, 03:54:17 pm »

I have the CPO and Decals available if you wish to purchase. I also have the marquee. All pieces NOS.

Thanks.

Send me a PM if interested.

I have an actual MK3 CP from a dedicated machine. It has the buttons, joys, plexi and all the wires. I'd let it go cheap as well, but remember MK has a wood piece, then a metal piece and finally a plexi cover. I'd let it go rather cheap (say $60) but the shipping might be a bit crazy.

Open to anyone, I'm in TX if you would like a pic up and save on shipping. Email or PM me. (take out the dog)

Hi guys, This is my first forum so be gentle.. I feel your pain when it comes to finding art for this cab! like you i have spent the better part of a year looking for MK3 art. I finally found a dedicated MK3 cab in pretty good shape. I have spent the last 4 months scanning all the art from the control panel cpo, front, and sides of the control panel and fixing everything with photoshop. I have finished the control panel artwork and i am now working on the side art of the cab! My machine came out looking great! I would be happy to send the pictures to ya! All you have to do is take them to a good printing place and your all set! When i get the side art done i will hook you up with those pics as well! I am new to this so let me know how to get you the pics!

XtraSmiley · « **Reply #15 on:** June 13, 2007, 12:08:49 am »

Sounds great man! I never got a reply for my offer, but since you are doing all that work with your art, you should look into vectorizing it instead of just scanning it for photoshop, That will really be something that can then be added to the online art collection.

vaderkiller · « **Reply #16 on:** June 13, 2007, 01:13:39 am »

Thanks for the heads up! I will look into vectorizing this art!

I am also working on a killer instinct and total carnage as well

why on earth do you want to vectorise this art ??

good and accurate scan will be the best way to have something accurate.

LOL you tell me to read the FAQ about vector vs raster

did you read it ??
you understood the avantage of vector, but did you imagine the limitation of vector tracing such kind of image ??

cranes and bones are nearly impossible to restitute correctly.

vector is the way to go for simples images wich few colors, and distinct separation between the colors. in the case of quite photo-realistic images is quite impossible to have a good repro.

please don't talk to me about Yukio Miyamoto or Kevin Hulsey work.

but please pay attention to this

iN the other hand, the vectorial Images being composed of superimposed simple forms, and although the superposition of various elements make it possible to obtain results realistic, it is more difficult to restore with this format of the images of the photographs type.

by the way if someone feels the need to translate it and include it in the wiki, be my guest

Sorry, did not mean to offend you. If it is to hard for you to do it, I understand. I just thought based on what I have seen here vector would be the way to go. If you are not able to do it or if it is not the best way to do it fine, but I have seen people use vector for control panels and side art with similar levels of detail and they didn't seem to have any problems.

I'm not.

I'm just tired of people wanted to vectorize everything and nothing.

vector IS the way to go for simple (errrm quite simple images) not for art with photorealistic effects.
in this case, it just involves an amount of time and effort I can't afford.
and furthermore I'm sure that the result will look crap in regards to a good scan. I've traced some art (search for zorg by authors name on AAL) and I admit that I will not even give a try to such repro.

people must understand the limitation of vector tracing.

I would love to see the examples.

XtraSmiley · « **Reply #24 on:** June 13, 2007, 01:07:22 pm »

No problem. I understand what you mean for photo realistic art. I guess he should do it for the control panels if possible and use scans for the MK photo's on the sides.

Thanks for your input, I will check out your art when I get a chance.

Hey since you do so much of this, any chance you could do the work for a game called Trog? I need to print new artwork for my cab and it's not available yet!

I'm going to throw my hat into the UMK3 restoration ring.
I can't believe how freakin' hard it is to get any images/NOS/vector for this game!

Vaderkiller - You are man! I'll buy you a beer if you can get those scans done.

Is there a way for us to download what you have done already?

vaderkiller · « **Reply #28 on:** June 19, 2007, 10:03:31 pm »

Hey ZENO... I will take you up on that beer! The scans are huge! Rar'd up the cpo art is 22mb.. I will pm you so we can figure out how to get you the art

The side art is taking me alot longer than i thought, but eventually i will get it done! The control panel art came out looking great though

If you guys know where i can put this art for everybody to grab, let me know!!

My UMK3 machien will be here this week, in a dedicated MKII cab, that I plan to convert (revert?) back to MKII

I have the CPO I peeled off of this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290126612910&indexURL=1&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting

if you want it, I'll mail it to you on my dime. its kinda beat up but totally free, otherwise it goes into the trash

EDIT: It was in really bad shape after removing it, so it's been trashed, sorry

deano728 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 18, 2008, 12:35:48 pm »

Does anyone on this thread still have the artwork? I am in the same place you guys were a year ago and I haven't been able to find any of the artwork. The link doesn't work any longer, but I have to imagine that it is somewhere! Thanks in advance.

Malenko · « **Reply #37 on:** May 18, 2008, 08:31:08 pm »

I still have a spare metal dedicated CPO fo r both MK3 and MK4. I also have a custom one that came with the MK4 panel AND I havemost of the conversion kit stickers too. Whatchu need?

deano728 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:54:48 pm »

Well, I created a new CPO for my Ultimate MK3 cab which has a trackball and a bunch of other buttons. I really just wanted the artwork so that I could create my own layout and then print it out since the original artwork won't really work out too well since it labels the buttons and joystick. I should still stick with the UMK theme since the marquee and sideart are pretty cool. I have the exact machine that you have as your avatar.

I REALLY like the generic panel that was posted on this thread with the blue/purple background though, you wouldn't happen to have that or know where I can get that would you?

DaleDoback · « **Reply #39 on:** August 01, 2023, 09:27:47 pm »

probably beating a dead horse here, being that this post is from a very long time ago, BUT did anyone ever layer the art into a psd?
would love to make my own cab but i cannot find a decent file to accommodate for a street fighter style deck.
any help is appreciated
