Title: REQ: Mortal Kombat Marquee Vectorized
Post by: SirPeale on January 16, 2004, 12:09:44 pm: 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 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! :)

Post by: SirPeale on February 20, 2004, 09:08:37 pm: 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?

Find a friend with a scanner would be my suggestion.

Ah well, my cabinet shall just be topless.

Post by: SirPeale on March 01, 2004, 06:48:25 pm: 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...

Post by: mahuti on March 01, 2004, 09:37:45 pm: 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.

Post by: SirPeale on March 02, 2004, 08:16:46 am: 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!

Post by: SirPeale 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.

Post by: mahuti 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.

Post by: SirPeale 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!

Post by: mahuti 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.
