Title: Xmen Sideart and CPO, pics needed
Post by: dasme on July 21, 2004, 09:38:16 am
Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some nice high res shots of both the sideart and CPO for the xmen game. I'm looking to base my mame cab theme on it (must of played it enough in the arcades to buy 3 machines ;). All the art work that I can find is way too small and grainy to be useful for vectorizing. I'm particularly interested in the pattern on the cpo.. For the live of me I can't remember what it was.

Also if anyone knows of some vectorized art for this cab please let me know, I haven't seen anything myself though.

tia!

edit: sorry the title was a little misleading :)

Cool thanks for the link. That side art is for X-Men: children of the atom though. I'll snag it anyways, as you never quite know when you need a large image of magneto :)

Thanks for the CP shot! it's better then the one I have currently, still can't make out the patern on the CP, but it's a start. Thanks much!

You're in luck... I have an Xmen cab right in my basement and a pretty nice digital camera :)

I'll take some pics for you and see if I can find a place to upload them.  I was hoping someone would vectorize this as mine is pretty beat up in some places, and is coming off of my cab soon  :-\

Now if I only remember to take the pics in the morning... lol

EDIT: what kind of pics should I take? Is it better to have nice close ups i.e. 2 or 3 close-up pics to make up the CP, or should I fit the whole thing in one picture?  or both?  let me know as I have no knowledge of vectorizing stuff.

Woah that would be awesome!

For the CP I would love a closeup of the pattern on it.

For the side panels a full image would be great, with closeups on any detailed area. Areas such as the faces etc. IF you need a place to FTP the images PM me, I can set you up an account on my ftp server.

Thanks!

I haven't forgotten about this!!

My apologies, stuff has been hectic the last few days.  I'll be taking the pics tomorrow, and I'll let you know when they are done.

No worries! Whenever you can get the pics taken will be good with me. I'm in no hurry :)

Ok, I have about 30 pictures totalling about 25mb, all at 3.2 megapixels.  The lighting is really terrible in my basement, so I took some with and without the flash.  I took pics of the CPO, sideart, and marquee, but only a few of the marquee.  If more detailed pics are needed, feel free to ask.  I just need a place to send them to, FTP would probably be easiest I'm guessing, but I'll send them however you'd like.

If needed, I can take more pics of anything.  I can also do 6mp pictures if that is necessary.  Let me know if you need anything else once you see the pics, I'll do my best.  Just make sure you send me a copy of the finished vector work ;)

Here's a resized pic just because...
