If I have to update the whole theme with every new video, I'm never going to get it! Any suggestions? The color codes are all in one file, aren't they? You could just update that one file and upload it separately. Or even just post the lines that need to be added and it can be done manually between updates.

OdinsPlayground Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey @viking Just wondering if you have released the resources from the Nostalgia video set? Just thought maybe some those assets could be reworked to fit the Colorful style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 @OdinsPlayground : Nope, sorry. But you can used Colorful one and change background color ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about consoles that haven't been covered by the Colorful theme. For example taking the Console / Machine, rescale and position it, add a stack of games or accessories, redo the shadow, change the background etc to fit colorful. Was just thinking of it as an easy entry-point to cover more of the consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinsPlayground Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Decided to start with FM Towns Marty. Low res preview attached, 15 first sec as a quick export. Gonna add some games / accessories also, most likely finish it over the weekend. Just went through the process to make sure everything is clear. Considering removing the slow part of the boot up intro, just keeping the logo. Originally wanted to do PC-98 and PC-88... but so hard to find any high quality photos to base it on. That's originally why I asked for the other video resource. FM Towns Marty.mp4 Edited March 17, 2021 by OdinsPlayground 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinsPlayground Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 @viking Hey, here's the updated FM Towns Marty. Think it's pretty much done, unless you see some obvious flaws? How do I go about sending all the video and source files? FM Towns Marty_H264_HD.mp4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdinsPlayground Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 @viking Hey, did one for Taito Type X2 earlier. Files are in the same link I sent to you previously. Really wanted to do PC-88/98 machines also before sending it over, but too busy with work these days. Taito Type X_H264_HD.mp4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modjoo Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hey there I just started working on the Platforms I am still missing as I have some more spare time atm. I came up with this one for ScummVM Platform. I really like it, regarding the fact that this is just my second day in exploring 3d software (i didnt model the pc obviously ) I Just have a few questions regarding the monitor / reflection layer / shadow layer. Maybe youcould give me some advise here @viking or @OdinsPlayground.. Is this done in the 3d software or just post work in photoshop? A hint or two would be nice. Next step will then be After Effects. Tell me what you think 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next step will then be After Effects. Tell me what you think Looking good! Did you do the PC and boxes in 3D? I would recommend boosting the saturation / brightness / contrast a bit for the boxes as they look a bit dull. As for the monitor reflection and texture, I would highly recommend taking the layer from one of Vikings original files, and just re-position + mask it to fit your new computer. For example using the MS-DOS resource files. There you will find both reflection and scanlines to apply, and you could take them straight out of the PSD or AE file.

modjoo Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Thank you ? Yeah, I modeled them in 3D. Yes you are right about the Contrast. I Already did that and it looks way better now. Alright so this is all Photoshop Postwork. I Thought about using the existing ones from the resources too but then I thought maybe some reflections come from the 3D light source and there is a way to render this semi transparent and import it as PNG to photoshop. I'll give it a go. I never worked with such types of layers or in general with After Effects. Let's how far i will come Edited May 15, 2021 by modjoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modjoo Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Well. It worked out pretty smooth I have to say. Here is ScummVM Platform Video Mk.1 The Platform Preview Video from Emumovies is pretty bad.. So I think I will create one on my own some time in the future. But for now this one should be good enough. EDIT: I wasn't completely satisfied with my first Video because of the Background Color (there are already lots of blueish Videos) and the Preview Video from Emumovies and a few other things. So i created a new one with orange color, fitting the scummvm green/orange logo style and a new preview Video. And i also added a few Lucasfilm Goodies Color Code is: #e57c15 @viking do you need the project files? Which resolutions shall i encode apart from 4k? Edit 2: Added black borders to the Screen to enhance overall appearance Edit 3: Check latest post for a little less bright orange version.. and an alternative green version..

If you update it in the future, my only comment would be regarding the reflection on the screen, as the new one is lacking the contact / drop shadow on the screen itself, where the edges meet. You had this on the previous sketch you posted, which added a bit more depth and realism to the reflection itself. I've added screenshot to show you what I'm referring to. Consider this just a nitpick. Edited May 17, 2021 by OdinsPlayground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Niiiice !!! Good job ! Yes, in 3D, postproduction makes the difference. Your visual is very good. I only have a few remarks: - The mouse scale. She's way too big, isn't she? - The color of the orange background is too much, maybe a little less saturated? If I had the time, I would have done ALL the platforms in 3D! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
