DDR Machine (critiques welcome)

I changed a few things on purpose. I change the type of railing cushion to be more of the foam kind. Every DDR machine I've seen has had different material there. I've seen electrical tape to nothing at all.

a bunch of your proportions and shapes are off. double check reference again.

also, here's a manual for a JP cab (that cab) so you can get a better idea for how the real thing is put together. check out the schematics and parts list at the bottom: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1725586/arcades/1st%20Mix%20Manual.rar

i have friends with JP and korean cabs and have full access to a betson supernova cab (slightly different design) if you ever have questions about how it's built.

you didn't even read my post did you? the proportions are still way off.

(also i'm not sure why you used a solo 2000 marquee on a doubles cab, and i'm not sure why you'd want to play solo 2000 anyway :P)

I did read it, and yeah looking at it i see the speakers are off. Not sure where you mean for the cab Looked close to me. what are you specifically referring to?

-stage is too small. the arrow panels are 11 inches square from what i recall.
-top speakers too small
-top marquee not thick enough
-corner molding too large
-side handle things too large
-buttons way too large and too high up
-monitor cutout is too large
-plastic tubing connecting stage to cabinet is too thin

few more things but those are the major ones

Im not sure i can see what Racer is talking about, but generally i concider his advice to be expert advice. My worries is with the texturing. The highpoly model looked fine, what happend?

Is it a UV space issue or are you only using photos. Please dont waste that model on thoose textures.
Hey you might even be able to check some of racers texturing tutorials huh?

Here is a picture of a DDR Cabinet

Notice how much wider the double floor pad is compared to the model? That's what Racer means about the stage being too small
