Title: Help requested; photographs needed
Post by NitroX infinity on 04.01.05 at 16:14:35
I was hoping you all would be willing to help me out.

I am in need of photographs with specific requirements from 3dfx related items; videocards, tvcards and merchandise. (Merchandise being clothing, mousepads, casebadges, gamepads, camera's, etc.)

These photographs should be taken at an angle of about 90 degrees and have a resolution of 1024x768 at 32bit. The object being photographed should fill at least 90% of the screen.

The background should be as even as possible (preferable white; piece of paper, cloth).

For videocards I require photo's of the front and back of both the box and the card.

I hope there are some people willing to help me out here.

The question that begs to be asked. What are you going to use them for? Will they be available on a web page after you have them all compiled?

Post by paulpsomiadis on 05.01.05 at 08:05:13
Yeah, I'd sure like to know what they're all for? ???

@NitroX infinity - Mr Mysterious? ???

Sorry, should have said something about that.

The photographs will be used in a topic about 3dfx on a Dutch forum. We already have a topic there but since the forum switch to a new look, the starting posts don't look right anymore.

So I've begun work on a new startingpost and that's what I require the photo's for.

Don't worry, all photo's will remain property of their respective owners.

Besides, they might also be usefull for other people, it's not like I want to be the only one allowed to post them ;)

Why I'm not using already existing photographs?
Well first off all, most aren't 1024x768 in size and second, most of them don't have an even background.

No, they're not what I'm looking for, again;

1. Black (or a very dark) background (piece of clothing for instance)
2. Resolution: Width; 640 up to 1280, Height; 240 up to 960
3. Front and back images taken at 90 degree angles.

Reason why I want these specifications is because the images from yjfy are like that and I've got loads of images from his site.

that's a hard question you're asking us, but I don't think everyone want's to just shoot thier cards again, I allready respect the photo's the way they are, there is no profession needed by tak'n pics come on. :-/ be abit reasonable.

everyone has great photo's, I honor them allready :)

Sorry for be'n alittle harsh there, but some things can go abit far.
