Fantasy Chip Design Tool (5 Viewers)

[Tommy]

Like I mentioned in one of my comments above and like Jeep mentioned, I can photograph and color correct the images of the chips under uniform studio conditions. I can even create the clipping masks. But that is the easy part. The "tool" that I built is just a Photoshop file with layers and clipping masks. It isn't usable to anyone without Photoshop. To make something usable to the public you would need a programmer to make a web app. I am not a programmer and that would be a big project. I wasn't really suggesting we do it.

@Windwalker posted this back in June. I wonder if your PSD works on it.

So this is the output for the photo mock-up CPC tool that I used to design my own set but also help some others and Jeep uses too. I like the added benefit of the sense of texture etc. but this has its own limitations. For this tool I took photos of each sample chip under the same lighting condition and then built the cutouts for spot patterns and then use Photoshop layers to mask the different colored sample chips onto the spot patterns. This could be done with THCs using a full Paulson color sample set. I could definitely take care of the photography and color correction but have no idea how to program a tool for web use. And that would be a big project.

All of these images below are composites of color sample chips. I think these will be pretty close to the end result.

@Rbonus012 ’s awesome upcoming set…

Nicely done!! Ryan’s set is really beautiful.

A while ago, I used the Paulson color samples in the PCF Resources section to create some THC mock-ups, but those photos weren’t taken for this specific purpose, so there were always alignment issues. They turned out ok, tho. Nowhere close to as clean as yours are. Love the texture that comes from the high res photos.

If @Eloe2000 was to take "photos" of all the chips, is that somehow able to be integrated into the fantasy design chip tool that you have kindly made available for us chip junkies?

It wouldn’t work, this program uses vectors of the spots’ boundaries which are filled with the selected colors, and then overlaid with a mold design to make it look like a molded chip. The photos could not be integrated into it without a complete rework of the program, plus, it would only work with the THC mold, and the chips themselves have variance in the mold placement, so the hats and outer rim wouldn’t be aligned correctly between colors.

Dream Killer....... Looks like it needs to be rebuilt from scratch then.....

Where the f@ck have I been? I begged for this and then don’t see it for 3 months? I’ll have to input the chips I made on the last tool and show what I had when I had dreams/plans to get a set made...without the inlays of course
