MK CPO

[garnerb350]

Does anybody have a high rez scan( or vector) of this CPO...I am wanting to vectorize and use it for a custom CPO I am going to create...Thanks

I have a High rez scan when your done with the vector I would not mine a copy here is a link to the file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LJ8BGIRI

I'll try but you might be disapointed... My plans are to change the color scheme...Im going to try and do a custom Mame MK cab, (7-button layout)  but use some of the same aspects of the orginal cab... That scan will do nicely, but I do know that I'm going to change the "player positions" (just use type)...my only worry is the gradients on the dragons...( have to think, think, think...) Thanks Necro

This is what Ive done so far... basically experimenting...got to figure out where to place 7th button...

[Necroticart]

Looks nice so far if I were you I would place the 7th button where the run button is on umk3. That will also give you the setup needed for neogeo games if you plan to run them.

[garnerb350]

...7th button where the run button is on umk3.

Yeap you are right on the money...That is what i am wanting to do...and also be able to play Neo Geo...sleep was taking ahold of me when i was posting last night...I need to figure out the best "look" for the 7th button on that CPO...

Do you by chance have a MK3 or UMK3 cpo...(use for reference)

[Necroticart]

I wish I had a mk3/umk3 cpo file but I do have mk4 here is the link to the scan I did http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8G6VBB5K

Necro...Talk to emdkay...He has a bunch of MK art...I just got a boo-ku of stuff from him...
read this...

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=98344.0;all

He has a list of stuff in a txt file...you look through it, pick out what you want, and he can send you what he has...

AWESOME stuff!

As for MK3/UMK3 stuff ...it looks like they had just sticker overlays when doing conversions...

why not get one from here

why not get one from here

Well...I dont know what Necro is doing, but I know I cant (not just yet)

1. Im trying to do a custom MK cab ( looking at every MK cab) Looking to see what choices I want
2. The CPO is going to be a 7 button layout...
3. I have faster access to a printer...

[Necroticart]

The reason I will not buy the mk3 cpo from http://mamemarquees.com is because, I want the artwork to collect and modify to my needs. Plus I can go less than a mile from my house and get the whatever I want printed within a few hours.  As far as emdkay goes I give him alot of credit. He sells prints off his site and is good enough to share the artwork he make his money from, and I know I can get stuff I need from him but I have most of what I want. So I've had no need to request any artwork If anything I need to share the stuff I have thats not in his collection.

[andrewbean90]

ya I agree Im thinking about buying from emdkay too only because I can pay when I dont have a credit card

[garnerb350]

As for the MK3 CPO...it can be created, but it wont be EXACT...you can make a layer in photoshop...give it a light-blue-dark-blue radial gradient...throw in a sandstone texture, and 3-4 cracks...you'll end up close...but not extact...
but yeah i wish i could find the exact scan...

[Necroticart]

i'm sure it could be replicated I could do it myself If I wanted to i'm already working on reproducing the Mk1 sideart which I'm still working on only a few things left on it to finish for the raster version as for the vector thats another story vector art on this scale is extremely difficult but rewarding in the end

...i'm already working on reproducing the Mk1 sideart which I'm still working on only a few things left on it to finish...

Yeah I been keeping up with that post...awesome work man...awesome...hows things going with the Johnny cage figure?
(love to have a copy when its finished)

[Necroticart]

He looks good I was able to get a good hires image and scale it to the proper proportions with no distortion looks nice i'm basicly working on the dragon now which is slow moving i'm at this point i'm working on a file thats over a gig and a half even on the latest version of PS with 6 gigs of ram it still takes time to render the filters i'm applying

Hahaha, I know what you are going through...(work only supplies me with 3.25 gig)

Yeah i figured that dragon would be a beeyotch (with the orange shadowing belly etc)
