RoadBlasters Yoke art
« on: August 24, 2005, 03:42:12 pm »
I saw a post the other day with a photoshopped image of the RoadBlasters yoke art (poor quality), but I can't find it now.

Anyone know where it is?  Search isn't helping me...

My Roadblasters is in good shape, you want me to photograph or maybe scan it?

Speaking of Yokes and vectorizations, check your PM Allroy1975
It doesn't matter if you win or lose....it's how you play the videogame.

geez, I hadn't looked at mine.  That's like 20 minutes of vectorization.  Someone could bang that out real quick...if not me.  So busy with baby pac.

I can easily get good pix of it though.

That's the one thanks, I was looking in the wrong place...

I was going to make a rough copy of the design, but if you could get a good pic Allroy I might have a go at vectorising it properly.  I've never even seen the top (sight?) artwork before.

Don't suppose anyone wants to have a go at the RoadBlasters CPO?  I've no idea how to go about recreating the bezels...it's a cool design tho.

Sorry, I meant bevels...actually on the CPO art.  The grey/blue rectangular boxes that look 3d.

Never did find a good way to do that in Illustrator...  You're gonna either need an Illustrator master, or have to resort to recreating it in Photoshop, I fear.  IIRC, in Illustrator the only even remotely promising thing I could come up with was creating the 3d effect manually using gradients, which would be fairly difficult and terribly time consuming.

I did some in Fireworks using 'Bevel Boss'...some pics here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=15822.0

I got fed up with using Fireworks and the large 300dpi image tho, my PC was slowing to a crawl.  Perhaps I should export the bevels as a high res bitmap (I could edit them to make them nearer the original too).  I just wanted to use vector if possible...
