Title: Renderings of The Actuators & Americanas ~ All credit to creators
Post by: PoundFFFFFF on November 06, 2011, 12:12:28 AM
I do a bit of max, so I decided to help the creators who worked very hard on these decks by making a preview of the decks in a fan.~

I just noticed that the card back you used for the Actuators isn't the final design.

Old

New

Lance removed the bar that crossed the cards

You still did an amazing job though

@PoundFFFFFF

If you are still wondering yes he did experiment with white borders, I recommend reading this for more information on it.

I think that someone came across your pics on here and added them to their site. I will not mention any names, as I do not wish to bring heat. I was just simply stating that it is nice to know the man responsible for the renderings. I like them

I think I know who too.
But, he did that to help promote the deck, so it's good, isn't it?

I don't think you are pissed or anything of the sort. Just keeping my nose where it belongs, and that is in my business and my business alone. ;)

You can Kickstarter the Black and White version of the Actuators...I actually like them better than the full color ones.

Regarding the Actuators, In my opinion, I must say these are some of the nicest
cards (faces, backs and box) that I've seen in a while.

Just so you know, I try doing renders for decks that aren't realized yet to support the artists as well as help the community better understand the deck before they are actually printed. Also because it's really interesting. So just try not to give me ones that are already printed and have loads of pictures and reviews online.

  But way to go with the high-res pictures! Always(well, almost always) a pleasure to see new and interesting designs. What is the name of the deck on the bottom?

The one at the bottom is a design that a friend and I had worked on for a themed deck.  But it all fell apart.

We had a few different back design ideas, sketches of some court cards.  Oh well
