Dumb Artwork Question...

[newoski]

Hi Guys,

I planned to use the bartop kit from TinyArcadeMachine and then pair it with the compatible artwork PSD from mikekim on the FTP.

However, TinyArcadeMachine is out of stock and won't have anything in stock for a while -- their CNC guy is out of commission at the moment.

As a result, I'm planning to grab a kit from ArcadeWarp, but how do I go about creating artwork to fit the kit's dimensions -- particularly the curved edges at the top??

Thanks so much, I'm sure I'm overthinking it, but it's driving me nuts!

There are a couple ways to do this.

Measure all the sides and use some basic geometry and find the curves, then create the template in Adobe Illustrator or a comparable vector based program.

Take a picture of each area with a camera as straight and flat as possible then bring that picture in and scale the photo to the dimensions you took.

It may not be totally exact but it will be within an 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. I'll send you a pm in a sec if you want to talk about it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to chat, Lucian!

I feel like so many pieces of the puzzle just fell into place.

I'll be in touch as soon as I have my graphics together!

Hi, i just also bough a DIY bartop from arcadewarp. I have exact the same question :-)

Did you have the dimensions calculated? If so could you share this with me as i'm not à math master.

Thnx :-)
