Title: [Request] Help ! Search Soulcalibur grand marquee
Post by: Sir Kayne on June 19, 2013, 02:08:28 pm

Hi,
Finally I come at the end of my Soulcalibur cabinet reproduction.
The only thing I looking is now the marquee

Here a pic :
If someone (in the world) have and can scan me this marquee, it would be paradise !!!
(http://www.pixhotel.fr/sites/default/files/gamoovernet/20130227193632-Sir%20Kayne-CIMG1108.JPG)

There is the only pic I have...but not enough for do something.
... I need to print it on a plexy (of course, buy the original would just be perfect).

Anyone have this marquee ??? ???

You may find that interesting. It is (Apparently) a full SC2 kit including marquee!

Reproduce it with 125 dpi for avoid resize. Your Pinted version will be perfect. :)

Thanks Chris John Hunter, look really interesting  ;)


Damn Mikonos !!!  Where you find such a big pic of the sword ?!

Of course I try to reproduce (it's  not a complicate marquee) , but the poor resolution of the pics (especially the sword), was awful !
The marquee have 70x40 cm. I estimated to print at least 150dpi, that mean I must have a reproduction of 4000x2360.

That was my first try :

Click for original resolution.
You can see the sword are not good.
And the color need to be work...ok that just a quick try (the characters must be better cutout,...).

I will try with the pics of Mykonos  8)

Try to vectorice the lightings. Is one hour of work.


Thrust in me, work at 125 dpi. Is enough for print.
