Looking for 6 button layout images

[griffin518]

Does anyone have a good image (widescreen preferred) of a 6 button layout + joystick? I'm working on creating button mapping images for loading screens and am looking for a base image that's better than what I've got now.

There should be a lot of buttons/joypad images lying around do you have some particular thing in mind? If it does not take too much time I may render some buttons/joystick as i did for genre in my skin

Apologies for the late reply...

 

I'm thinking something from a top-down view, but an angled view like that pick would be cool. Buttons like those found on Pacman cabinets, or even Capcom fighting cabinets would be my preference.

 

What I'm thinking about is creating a fade-in image for different games with instruction card like info. At least what button does what, to begin with, other refinements later. I'm no graphic artist by any means, but I know my way around The GIMP. I just need something to start with. What I lack in design skill I can make up for with effort and time, I suppose.

 

Thanks!

So something like this, need to fix light and other stuff.

 

 

Do you prefer a bit of perspective like in the image or single object rendering (so every joy/button will be centerd)? I guess you'll need 2 color, one for used buttons, one for unused button, which colors do you prefer for buttons and joy?

[griffin518]

Wow! That's terrific!

 

I actually prefer red for both, and prefer the ball top so that's great. What would you recommend for used vs unused colors? Maybe 50% transparent for unused? Or with a white-ish outline?

The advantage of 3d rendering is you need really little time to do these tings (moreover I already modelled old-style buttons and joystick)

Will do some tests with alpha and different styles

 

BTW, how does that fare in terms of size? Are proportion correct to you? I modelled them some times ago without visual nor size references (not a good idea, usually lol)

 

Which resolutionwere you planning?

[griffin518]

The joystick should be a little taller, but other than that everything looks ok, I think.

 

I was planning on 1920x1080, but anything above that would be perfect as long as it's 16x9.

 

Thanks a lot! I'm excited to get started.

Black, white and red buttons 1920*1080 .pngs . You can easily work on them in GIMP using cut and layers
