You really have a "hard on" for making innuendos over here. Too bad you aren't dealing with your own "wood" in the CNC Bartop thread.......OOOOOooOOoOOO

Is it just me, or are the rounded edges ... not so rounded? Was this deliberate?

CoryBee · « **Reply #90 on:** September 29, 2013, 08:45:15 am »

You are correct good sir. And no it was not deliberate. Not sure why that happened. I traced the Slag coin template with a circle thingy in Photoshop then did the stroke thing and I don't know how it has the not so rounded effect when you look closely. It isn't noticeable from a distance but it would be nice to fix that.

It is the same thing on all of my art unfortunately, but the white sticks out the most. The others are fine.

While you're fixing that, you can fix that whole "A"/"&" thing too.

Did you do stroke and outerglow with normal settings? because using outerglow will result in those not round shapes.

best you make a 300 dpi image, create the first dot, then copy the whole thing and past it
then stroke it again and copy the whole image , that will give round borders

Monkeyvoodoo · « **Reply #94 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:25:20 pm »

Did you expand your selection circle from the slag coin template? If you expand too far from the original the circle loses it's roundness.

If you make a selection circle and then place snapable guidelines to give you center points, you should be able to create a smooth circle selection at the size you want.

Did not mess with the circle besides moving it around.

This doesn't seem to be a big issue, I will mess around with it more but as for now I wont be doing any more builds for a while. Trying to knock out the ones I have going on before I make myself feel insignificant for not completing something I started.

CoryBee · « **Reply #96 on:** September 30, 2013, 12:03:37 pm »

Marquee retained

Turned out pretty good and was a pretty simple solution

A view from the underside for the hell of it

Just finished the painting the last coat, not much left to do once it is dried. Just assemble and software

(oh and solder a couple things like the power button and external USB port)

CoryBee · « **Reply #97 on:** October 02, 2013, 09:13:57 am »

SAM is complete. I have been playing this thing on the big screen and I absolutely love it. Will have some pictures of it being played soon.

I had a couple of small issues I had to deal with. Worst of it was after I put together the control panel and started assembling everything I noticed I could not move player one's joystick very much because it was pressed against the laptop hard drive!!

I had to remove all buttons, basically strip down the CP back to bare wood. I then recessed the joysticks enough to barely miss the hard drive this time. All is well now though and S.A.M. is just waiting for a custom MALA theme. Turn the thing on and it kicks into the frontend with a ton of games and console systems. Definitely taking it with me to the UK, might even try selling it there for a bit of cash before my trip back.

Not sure if I should do a blue and white themed Mala layout or just leave it to the one I have been using lately. Hmmm.....

Monkeyvoodoo · « **Reply #108 on:** October 02, 2013, 09:59:19 pm »

What about staying with the blue and white but reversing the colours? Blue on white?
