Dials MOD....Work in Progress

KptnLt Eric Karle · 08-12-05, 04:04 PM

I decided to have a go at re-working the dials that appear for the CE's reports. I didn't like the original at all.

Ails Transparent Dials Mod was a lot better. Today I used Adobe Illustrator to draw a completely new Battery Level Dial then imported the multiple layers into Photoshop and added bevels and textures. Here's what I have so far what do you guys think?

Looks very nice

Just one thing, the scale on the "druckluft" should be green instead of red between 140-200. Its full at 200!

The amps meter is VERY nice indeed

Just to clarify everything apart from the Amps meter is the original which I haven't touched. The Amps meter is the one I made today

Sorry! I read your post badly

But like i said recently, your amps meter is really nice. Very good work indeed!

It looks good, but it could need some slight aging IMO.

Yeah, that looks much better, less "clean".

The amperometer looks VERy well

MUCH better than the original IMHO and it`s closer to a real amps meter...

Looking really good! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do to the other gauges.

Nice work EK. Can't wait for the finished product. SHIII is looking better all the time.
