Layouts will no doubt come in time, but there aren't that many active layout creators in fme right now unfortunately, so I don't expect to see many layouts initially.

Also Epoch resources, there aren't many and the flyers that are available are terrible quality (nothing to do with how they've been scanned) so I don't imagine many people will use them for a layout in amber.  I certainly wouldn't.

None from me as afaik I can't get Amber2 to run unless I get newer computer, unless I prep artwork and someone else who can run amber could lamp it? If there is any flyers that need lines removed etc Im happy to help that way. Apart from that I will still be making layout's for mfme on the techs not currently available within amber2.

I'm sure something can be produced from them , there's plenty to pick from lol.
If I made the artwork would you want the £5 & £8 version?
Would you require side art or just the machine,
And finally how big would the art need to be as I read it needs to be resized before the lighting process so it would have to be max amber size to give me a clear enough image. As if i resized my artwork first like I used to do in my early days of creating they come out crappy, I tend to do my artwork for mfme before resizing approx 7000 x 12000 or bigger so in theory I could make a mega 10,240Wdx lol

PS is a bloody great tool, if you send it to me (or zip it to the thread) I/we will have a try.

 

It depends on the angle as-to the outcome.

Those shots are excellent by the way. They won't need a lot of editing at all. Thanks for the resources.

I'm going to use these to have a play with Amber at some point.

Thanks you.

PS Do you have access to other Epoch machines? One I really would like to do is Maygay Just the Ticket

i'll leave the images uploaded above to you fuzion you'll do a far better job than me, and at least you'll see the final product, but that's not to say I won't contribute to amber2 in the near future, still search fleabay and shpock or whatever its called for hi res images etc

I'm not creating a layout for it mate, just having a dabble.  I have a few other things on at the minute, but I will be using the RollerCoaster artwork I had prepped for mfme in amber.    Might wait for easier layout creation functions that I believe Guitar is working on.

Ok, Good news and bad news.. I have some epoch flyers.. But the Global/Impulse ones have such small machine pictures on them, it probably isnt worth it, and also i cannot find most of my epoch flyers, but I have about 6 good sized flyers that im currently scanning now at 600 dpi.
