redbone Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I've always been a pretty big James Bond fan. When firing up the current VPX Bond: I'm referencing this table because @timblo has updated the graphics and models. Thank @marty02 for all his work for sure!!!! As this table progresses, I hope both these authors merge this table together into a single release. My real purpose of this thread is to share some work I've done on recreating a backglass in light of what it should be with a Dr. No themed version. I'm more or less a hacker and don't even know how to create a proper puppack yet, but I do have this one running on my backglass. I know it's not a perfect recreation of what's on Stern's, but I think it works pretty well and close to original. Here are the steps I took to create this. create base graphics in Adobe Photoshop yellow background red frame light blue inside red frame lay in some stock photo of a beach with palm trees adding some effects find the Japanese rerelease of Dr No for the main graphics, AI upscale, remove background, and some color adjustments closely recreate the "DR. NO" logo Brought all these graphics into Adobe After Effects laid down all the layers masked the water and added movement added some fade effects Imported After Effects project into Adobe Premiere Pro exported media 4k @ 60fps - no audio I'll use this thread to update my projects and if I see enough interest, I'll continue and release these videos so anyone can add or create a puppack for them. On a side note, i love Stern's work. The tables that have been created thus far are not properly named. This particular table is a Sean Connery/James bond hommage table that I believe should be called "James Bond 007 - DR. NO Pro Edition". or something like that. It's not the 60TH Anniversary Edition. The Premium Edition of the same base table has a backglass of "You Only Live Twice" and the LE edition is "Thunderball". I look forward to hearing others thoughts... maybe I'm wasting my time.
