Hi, nice project! :applaud: I'm looking for house of the dead printable artworks but I can't find anything, can I ask you where did you find the scarlet dawn ones? |

I had to put them together myself :( I went to their official site https://hod.sega.jp and chose their "normal mode" version without animations since it loaded all of the characters at the same time. I then scraped the content off of their pages. I think I also scraped some images that were only available in the "enhanced" version of their site, but were a bit more difficult to grab. The quality isn't really suitable for printing, so I then ran them through AI upscalers a few times in order to create high resolution versions. I've tried dozens and the best results came from https://overscale.imagewith.ai which also attempts to recreate the image rather than simply upscaling. But that site has a daily limit, so it took a few days to get through the ones that I wanted. The upscaled versions make everything look good, but it looses some texture detail. So I took the original low quality version, stretched it to the same size as the AI upscaled version, and then blended specific areas to get some of the detail back. I created the background images and then created the montage of characters. I added additional lighting/shadow effects to the characters and the background after everything was in place. Otherwise the lighting didn't match and it looked too much like they were clipped together. The logos needed a bit more work as well. I upscaled the original logo, but then I overlaid new text to make a cleaner logo. I was able to match the same font and spacing, and just overlaid it. The side logos were completely recreated since I already had the font and everything. I don't really want to provide the final artwork because I want my cab to be a little unique, but I can provide the scraped content and upscaled/enhanced images. Only a small subset that I used have been upscaled though. I can provide the cleaned logos as well. It's a 500mb download though... Let me know and I'll try to upload it somewhere and PM you a temporary link. You'd have to use them to create your own artwork. |

Thanks! Don't worry about uploading images, I'll try with AI upscaler too :) |

Great job! :cheers: It's nice to finally have guns available that play properly on an LCD. |
