The monkey complained that he felt warm, so i took out his jacket  ;D



And placed it in AI ready to trace..



I took the rough "select-paint-cut-paste-autotrace" and positioned on top of the pic.
Not too bad, only in this case too much detail that was traced... :-\




Lets see..., select-path-simplify
Much better !  :P




Now the annoying part, modify the curves to fit exactly on the original..



it looks like alot of work is ahead of me, but i want it to be correctly done so i will take my time for it  ;)

And to make things less boring, i did also some other parts...    Surgery !  :twisted:




Tracing them is easier when amputated  ;D




Finished the patient up by putting his feet and hands back and gave them a more healthy color..



note that i need to correct the colors of the mouth and face also, they are too bright  :ghost:

Looks like a dancing gorilla without that barrel, very interesting to follow step by step this method. :D

Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!

After creating a new document with the correct dimentions, i can start with creating the outline of the cabinet
First create circles with the right diameter..



Then color them to see better what i am doing  ;)



Okay, looks like it is one nice path after some seriouse stitching, cropping, splitting and merging  ::)



exchange the fill with transparent, and make the stroke black..



i copied the outline and flipped it so now i got the left and right side as a template



It looks like i need to bend and shape the ck picture a bit more...  :-\

anyway, not today  :D

if anybody has a better shot of the sideart, i am very interested !

Etienne, in the future we can team-up on projects like that.
You would save tons of time if you give me the dimensions of the sidepanel and I make an outline in SWX (CAD-Programm) that is 100 percent accurate and perfect in all parameters

perfect straight lines
perfect angles (what ever degree)
perfect parallelity
perfect curves and roundings
 
and so on.

I just checked it and found out that I can save in many formats like .jpg, .tif and so on (I can give you a list if desired) and I can set the print dimenions in mm.....

Also the dpi can be adjustet.

So, if you give me exact measurements I can make a perfect outline.
There are not many roundings in my sketches I postet along with this text as I extrude the outline to a volume-body and use another tool to break the corners but I also can make the roundings in the sketch.

This would be a much much cleaner way and would´nt cost much time for me.
We also could save the file as it can be feed in every cnc-machine that works out a perfect side-panel for people with waterdamages and of course I can render a sidepanel with or with out the artwork on it.

I have a dream....that one day....all members of forum are the same....no matter how long ago they have joined, how many games they own or how many posts they wrote ;)

i appriciate the effort, but i have the correct outline now for zacc mini cabinets, and thats all i need for a repro of the sidearts.

i can send you the template in vector format if you like to play with it though  8)

Thanks Luigi,

And i think its time that i invite chris or my other friend who has more knowlegde of photoshop for a cup of coffee  ;)

Seriously, i am pretty familiar in AI, but not in photoshop, so i need som teaching in that area  ;D

Thanks for the explanation chris, i'll sure use it !

I am also in if you have PS-questions......

I was meaning for future projects.

There is a way to open vector-files (a.i.) in Solidworks so it could be possible to do it vice versa but it would also be ok as .tif with high dpi and the right height/width.

Next time you just can take 5 min to measure the sidepanel and as soon as I receive the measurements I need 5-20min for a perfect outline.
