Adobe Illustrator control panel library?
« on: April 20, 2005, 09:32:30 am »
I'm wanting to start laying out a control panel (the Ultimate Arcade II panel with slight modifications) in Adobe Illustrator.

I'm no Illustrator expert, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some .ai files that contain properly sized joystick templates, buttons, maybe even the panel itself. Thanks.

Looks like what I'm after, thanks. I have been through that site, but didn't come across those.

I plan to modify the Gauntlet CP to fit the Ultimate Arcade II. I grabbed the jpgs of the panels, but unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone has already converted it to vector. Hopefully I can pull it off, and if I do I will make sure to upload it.

You can get the Gauntlet CP from Jakobud's site as an EPS file.  It is all vector and ready to go.

Next I'll be on fries, and that's when the big money starts rolling in.

Yeah, but those are literally just the dimensions of the panels and hole locations. I was hoping someone had gone through the tedium of making vector versions of the control panel overlay.

Are there any hi-res version of the Gauntlet sideart available somewhere?
I thought I'd try to make a vectorized version of that if I could just find a decent original picture to work from...

not to bad mouth jakobud, but his dimensions seem to be off from time to time.  i actually remember a post a while back of someone who noticed his gauntlet control panel was off compared to the art, so i wouldn't suggest starting with jakobuds template.
