Duimon - HSM Mega Bezel Graphics and Presets - Feedback and Updates

The shots above are from my R&D box. I just noticed that the aspect of my movie case was wrong so I tweaked the code to fix it.

If I hadn’t posted this shot I may have not noticed it for a long while. :slightly_smiling_face:

Personally, I would blur the backgrounds a bit in order to help readability of text.

Nope… they are too essential to the general feeling. I did add a drop shadow to the text and it helps.

I could adjust the gradient in the settings screen and the opacity of the rectangle behind the text in the Games view.

I also adjusted the background gradient on the platform view.

I modified the settings logo and created a startup splash screen. (A PNG renamed to *.MP4 and used as a startup video.)

OCD can be a curse or a blessing.

I was not happy with the settings screen. The image from the Kodi skin had all sorts of issues. (Specifically the perforated Metal.)

It was off center, had horrible banding, the clear space in the middle was asymmetrical, and there were many image conversion artifacts. :frowning_face:

So I spent a large part of the day recreating the perforated metal from scratch in Illustrator.

While I was at it I also recreated the Aeon MQ 8 logo. (The LB logo was already vector.)

Any banding or artifacts in the screenshot are from JPG conversion for posting to the forum.

Oh… and “Experience” was spelled wrong. (My Mistake. :wink:)

@Duimon have you thought about doing the PAL Super Nintendo as an alt version of the SNES bezel? I just thought of the possibility myself.

I already have the PAL, they are the “Super_Famicom_Alt” presets. :wink:

I didn’t think of looking in the Super Famicom folder for it. :man_facepalming:

There is this…

In my presets.

And this from @Orionsangel.

That could be used in the Mega Bezel as a background.

I missed this. That would certainly look nice…

I don’t have any plans for one but it might be fun. :grin:

I can certainly try. :grin:

They are using 3D rendering and raster art though, so even at my best don’t expect anything as realistic as theirs.

And it won’t be at the top of my list. :wink:

Wow those are some amazing screenshots. :drooling_face:

you’re giving me the itch to have a movie server again. Back in the old days when Netflix had the rent 3 blu-rays at a time service, I had 6 2TB HDDs in RAID 5. Sadly, they were Seagate and I kept having to rebuild – the last thing you want to worry about when you’re just trying to rewatch a movie.

Here is a little peak at my Adobe Illustrator workspace right this minute. :wink:

It is really raw right now but I thought I’d post a teaser WIP.

do you plan to do the two Watara Supervision models? it looks amazing

I am setting up a HYPERSPIN with the console systems that you have made from Mega Bezel, I already have several box art and cart art and rom, isos from various systems

Yes, I plan to do both versions. :innocent:

As per my latest commitment, I am creating the whole device, even though part will be off screen when I build my presets.
