Title: Models for 3D Arcade
Post by: SirPoonga on September 11, 2002, 08:15:28 pm
Anyone want to make some cocktail models for 3D Arcade.  There are not many different designs.  So making one, slapping snaps on it, you could get alot of games covered that way.  I think a comboupright and cocktail in 3D arcade would be cool.

Well, most cocktails are simulatar, just different controls.  There's the classic pacman cabinet, for pacman you would just need a joystick, but for galage you;d need a button too.

There are many games that use the Atari Football style cabinet too.

A trained money with a limp could make cab models given enough time.  It's not hard at all, it's just tedious and takes a great deal of patience.  Get a shot of the profile... make a spline by tracing the profile.... get a shot of the front... measure to get hte width right... get a shot of the cp...ect  It sucks but once you get into the groove it goes quite quickly.

Think of a spline as a 2d profile...  It's basically a series of pooints connteted ie connect the dots....

By get a shot I mean take a snapshot of the cab... stick it on a cube or something similar and trace away....

That's the best englisin' I know I'll tell u whut.

hehe, I was just joking.  I halfway know what to do, spend too much time around my graphic designer friend who is a genius using truespace.
