Retrofrogg Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Sega Megadrive (Europe) 2.5D Front Box Art Pack, Hyperreal Series View File Sega Megadrive Europe region box art. 552 images (No-Intro set) - let me know if any errors or omissions. I have my regions currently separated into USA/North America, Japan and Europe; anything not falling into the former 2 regions tends to fall into the Europe region. Why these images? Short of proper 3D model box support in Launchbox, I find that "2.5D" is often the best box image type. 3D boxes can be good and I use them for some platforms, though the angle that they tend to be at makes the cover art a bit less clear, and all the spines can give an overall cluttered appearance which can be distracting from the artwork. The standard scraped box-front images tend to just look like jpg computer images and not the actual physical product. That's where 2.5D comes in. By 2.5D I mean that the image is of the actual front artwork, within the box, facing head on. I'm a perfectionist and want the images to look as realistic as possible - just like the original game boxes. This set is therfore created using a photo-realistic hard plastic case template (not a vector model), complete with the little box hanger and mottled plastic cover, within which the artwork sleeve is inserted. There is some subtle lighting and shadow effect. I went through each item individually so that I could tailor the effect depending on the brightness and contrast of the box art. I'm aiming to create the most realistic sets out there. This is over a week's work - in future I will use a Photoshop automation and just set the effect somewhere in the middle, in order to save time!

gamesmame Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Could you please of course, if possible, also put a download version only of the art in 2D "VECTORIAL" (no box/no gloss/no texture or plastic effect)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
