Make your own professional faceplate

[Kiddingo]

I am working on one right now, but I don't want the image distorted when I upload it. What is the recommended image size for a 360 faceplate?

When I upload an image, I try to make sure it's at least 1200x400 pixels. At 100 dpi that's 12 inches x 4 inches, which will cover the plate and leave a little wiggle room around the edges.

Perfect, thanks!

So this means if I want to make a one-off plate through the faceplate designer of the Legend of Spyro games, I can't? Sorry if it's a bit of a stupid question, but I'd rather take my chance than not do it at all.

You can make a Spyro plate for your personal use. You can't make one and then sell it.

I'm brand new here so I apologize if this is a repeat question, but I'm having trouble with the faceplate designer.

I click on the IMAGES button and nothing happens. I read this thread and it says it should open a window on my computer so I can choose an image, but that is not happening.

I am using a PC with Internet Explorer.

Any idea what the problem is?

thank you

I went to check it out with Firefox and it's doing the same thing to me. They might be working on the site. They're either in the Norway or the Hong Kong time zones, so even at weird hours, they work on stuff. I sent an email and should get an answer tomorrow, and I'll let you know.

We're experimenting with controllers now, too. Here's all of the details I can share. This was an experiment with actually printing directly onto a controller (that had been gutted - it was just the shell). The experimental run was satisfactory and a purchase order is being finalized. The key point here is that the customer provided actual controller pieces. The printing company was not the one providing the pieces, like they do with the faceplates. This is not likely to be something they will do as a one-off, but it may be something that can be done 10 at a time or something, IF the customer supplies the hardware.

The problem I have with this is that it encourages people to open hardware, which is a no-no as far as I'm concerned.

There are also a lot of restrictions because the controller housing varies so greatly in x-y-z dimensions. x-y is fine. x-y-z is like trying to wrap a flat piece of paper around a basketball. Where the image meets the edge will vary a lot, and getting a continuous image from the front of the controller to the back is a logistical impossibility (not improbable, just unfeasible). Images would have to be front only, or something like a non-repeating pattern like camouflage, animal print, etc.
