It’s not the ideal scenario but the general shader for horizontal arcades can be used for any system giving an impressive retro look. Your idea would be to have a general TV overlay with this shader also from Mr.Retrolust but for now this one is great. Thanks for the work

Tweaking the generic

This looks awesome… I’ll update the GDrive to 50 overlays. Then after that I’m not sure there’s much point carrying on with it seeing as you have this option. Great work @bitman :+1:

Thanks! Tweaking still takes effort (especially since all cabinets have slightly different dimensions), so your work is very much appreciated!

If there’s any interest I’ll do a zoomed version of those 50 (although it’s not really difficult to adjust the existing ones).

That would be nice :slight_smile:

Alternatively, would you consider using the border alpha trick to bring more Retrolust overlays? (no pressure though!)

On a side note, do you have generic vertical .pngs? I’m wondering if there’s something like this one:

Is there a matching vertical one, or something similar?

Problem with that is that the existing baked in bezels in the Retrolust overlays are a bit small and so for me they gotta go lol!

Here’s a corrected version of MrRetrolust’s Megadrive overlay for those who wanna mess with it (@carlos) :

Inner bezel removed, TV tilt on left side adjusted and viewport lean adjusted. Remaining bezel can be deselected or opacity dropped…have fun :slight_smile:

Here’s the original:

I’ve also just noticed this is 1080p…i’ll upscale to 4k tomoz and spit out some png’s :slight_smile:

(note PSD is still at 1080p)

  1. Inner bezel removed.
  2. TV outer tilt straightened on left side.
  3. Remaining bezel reshaped to fit closest Uborder curvature.
  4. Remaining bezel opacity dropped to 85%.
  5. Resulting png ran through Gigapixel upscaler.

So then seeing as the reflection from Uborder looks better when mixed with an actual bezel graphic… I’m thinking if I could get hold of a generic plastic arcade bezel image I could bake them into the Retrolust arcade overlays. And then match up Uborder perfectly with it. I’d be willing to first tweak the shader to the correct shape and then add the plastic bezel to suit.

Sounds a bit more complex than it was supposed to that lol…. I know what I mean :sweat_smile:

Final iteration with a bit of curvature round the edges…inspired by the very excellent vintage TV presets from @bitman which use the equally as excellent MrRetrolust generic tv overlays.

Head over to Bitman’s own Uborder presets thread here to find out more :slight_smile:

Right then i probably should crack on with the rest of the arcade overlays. I’m thinking i should do Mikie seeing as it’s valentine’s day!
