    The build is good the artwork is amazing you must be so proud of your achievements, to be able to look at that and say I did that is a good feeling I'm sure. Well done it's awesome :) 

    Thanks so much, @Rince1981.

    I definitely love how it turned out. I design for a living, so it was a wonderful change of pace and stress to dictate everything from concept to completion with no middlemen or committee to please haha.

    Looking forward to sharing the rest as it comes along.

    It was on the poll and received very few votes it was below the cutoff so won't be getting added this round

    Ah, man...that's unfortunate.

    I definitely understand it not being a priority. I just think it would up the fun factor when browsing mammoth game lists.

    Cheers for considering it!

    Stunningly beautiful. I love the sketch art too before you colored it. Any chance you would share the blueprints of the cabinet and control board? I am trying to figure out how I want to design both to have them fit together.

    Thanks, @FlightRisk!

    I have my crude vector drawings for the control deck that I wouldn't mind sharing. Everything is 1:1 so you can print out the drawings and use them as overlays to help with cut and print precision, as I did.

    I modified a Rec Room Masters prefabbed cabinet, so I don't have drawings for that. I removed the keyboard section and replaced it with a black verticle swing door to store stuff and to unlatch the control deck.

    Friggin awesome dude! Oh the fun that will be had with this! Congrats on a job well done :) Are you an artist btw? I bet you can make amazing marquees as well :D

    Thanks so much, @Mr. RetroLust!

    Yes, I'm an artist/designer by trade and profession. For the past 4 years, this cabinet has been my escape from 'clients from hell' xD throwing hands at it whenever I had some time.

    Hope to see more of the ride along the way, i'm in the proces of building my mancave/gameroom I'll post some photos soon as well. Im not that handy in making a cabinet so I took the alternative way with a second screen as a marquee above the main screen, tommorow the 21:9 display will finally arrive, will you add a dynamic marquee screen as well in your cabinet?

    I've just got the standard, static marquee for now, but I too have thought about a dynamic marquee screen.

    Would you mind sharing your screen builder resource with me? I'd love to have a digital marquee that changes the artwork based on the game.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Added some more screenshots.

    Hey there. I'm new to the forum. Thought I'd share my custom arcade cabinet artwork and build that I'm expecting to complete this summer.

     

    I started the project with a custom control deck design and build for 2 players.

    The sideart is a custom collage of classic characters chasing my cats (Jackson & Opie) up Kong's scaffolding.

    The coin door art is a collage of my personal favorite games, good versus evil.

    I'm still working on the bezel and a few more additions before I stick a fork in it. The latest addition was the custom marquee, which reads 'MEGACADE.'

    Here are some screenshots of the BigBox theme I'm putting together. Big thanks to @SNAK3ATER and his RetrAO Cafe theme for guidance and inspiration.

    The startup video animation was created in After Effects. You can view the full version on Youtube. I've also created one with the BigBox logo for the community to use and share. You can download it here.

    The loading fade screen is triggered by RocketLauncher, and has the Megacade 'M' fill up with gold as the rom is extracted.

    Thanks for taking a look.

    I'll continue to add more progress photos as they come along.

    :cheers:

    Actually in my upcoming update for RetrAO Cafe 1.7 I have included a couple of bezel frame overlays and also different video filters for users to choose from but I like the bezel frame above, can you share with me the png file of the frame so that I can test it from my side? Btw here is a sample of the new features in the upcoming update that includes new bezels, filters, VHS timer and effects, etc:

    Keep in mind that these pictures are dated back to 2017 and since then I have added extra features and removed ones that didn't work so the final update is subject to changes as time goes

    Oh, this sounds fun! I can't wait to try it out.

    Is it possible to overlay the bezel frame in the current theme? If not, I can wait for your next release :)5ac2aa8727598_BezelFrame01.thumb.png.4e4613a0b403895c51f61b4dedd30303.png

    I've attached the bezel frame PNG I had in my mockup.

    Fantastic theme, @SNAK3ATER . Thank you so much for sharing it!

    Would you happen to have some time to point me in the direction of adding a bezel frame effect/PNG overlay to the video themes? It's a similar overlay that's seen in RocketLauncher's bezels, where the beveled black frame wraps the viewport during gameplay. I've tried adding the bezel frame to the 'wheel1-alpha.png' but it just blends into the video theme. I feel like that's due to the masking that's being done on that layer.

    I've attached a mockup of what I'm going for.

    Thanks in advance!
