Need Galaga Bezel
« 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 or maybe Fredster can help since he mentioned to know a place with a Galaga cab in the thread Galaga Bezel

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.

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.

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.
