rondar Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 Haven't had time to work on much for a while but this is what I'm working on: Super Bikes 3 And here's an animation test for the idea I have about swapping the bike colors from the multiplayer marquees.

rondar Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 Chase H.Q. 2 (2007) Based on the sideart. I had to use a bunch of images for reference - and many, many attempts - but AI did the heavy lifting to recreate the badge. I had to touch up details and some of the text by hand. The background was pretty easy. Basically just typed "remove the text and logos" and filled in where the cabinet edges were cut. AI couldn't get the side text clear enough for my liking, so "POLICE EMERGENCY" and "Chase H.Q. is back!" was redrawn in Illustrator. To create the shine/reflection effect on the logo and badge, I placed a brighter copy of each image on top and used the reveal effects/shaders combined with opacity (40% down to 0% so the brighter layer fades as it's revealed). And here's the result in action: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

rondar Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago GRID Based on the marquee: A technique for simple video borders - like the one I used in this theme: -Apply layer styles to the snapshot that you use when mocking up the theme in Photoshop (stroke, drop shadow, outer glow etc.) -Change the fill of that layer to 0%. This will leave only the effects visible. -Convert that layer to a smart object -export the layer as a png (or just import the whole Photoshop file into HyperTheme, and it will make that smart object layer a png for you) Note: If you're using a drop shadow with this method, make sure "Layer Knocks Out Drop Shadow" is selected 1 Beer Me!
