Title: Need Galaga Bezel
Post by: Stingray on March 02, 2004, 12:51:33 pm

I'd like to find this in vector format if possible, but a decent quality photo would be helpful. I'm not actually making a Galaga bezel. This is for my Mini Mayhem cab that has art that is "inspired by" Galaga.

Hope you can find it. I have been looking for half a year now with no success.

I hope General Zod is still working on getting the pictures he offered in the thread Galaga Bezel ... I'm ready to help (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=16407;start=msg129362#msg129362) or maybe Fredster can help since he mentioned to know a place with a Galaga cab in the thread Galaga Bezel  (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=14820;start=msg122528#msg122528)

Hmm. If you haven't been able to locate it, it's probably not out there. I guess I may have to just "wing it".

Any chance you might have even a couple of crappy pics so I at least know what the general look is?

I've been so swamped over here I haven't really had the time, but if you tell me how to photograph it, I'll be more glad to help out.

By photographing I mean, like on a white background, or some other colour, and do I piece images together to make a whole bezel?

thanks

That's ok, no hurry. Did you see my post in the other thread (about how to take the pictures)? I did some explaining there (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=16407;start=msg129362#msg129362).

If you have the time, then please take:
- 1 overall shot of the whole bezel
- 4 overlapping images, each of a corner (where combined the 4 images cover the whole bezel) If you camera is high enough megapixel and the bezel is not too detailed, that should probably do
- Maybe a few closeup shots of some of the characters/planets on the bezel (just to be safe and to make sure the detail is in there) Especially a closeup of the planets would probably be handy since they seem kinda detailed.
- If at all possible try to include some visible lines with a 90 degree angle (like the top and a side of the bezel) which can be used for straightening out the images. I guess the 4 shots would automatically have these "lines" included though.

You don't have to piece anything together. Just send me the raw images and I'll deskew the pictures and stuff.

For background I don't think it really matters much, but an even color would probably be easiest to see the actual image.

I posted the best pics I have on the thread Fredster started (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=14820;start=msg115765#msg115765)

Boy do I feel like a dummy! I even posted in that thread, I just forgot about it. I think those pics will probably do for my purpose.
