Sooooo.....who do I tip to get the edge layers? I can make them, I guess....But I'd rather pay. Well, here's something I'm curious about....do the edge dimensions have to match up perfectly? Is the edge graphic perfectly proportional to the outer circumference of the top image?....I'm butchering this, so I hope someone knows what I mean.
@timinater is who I go to
I would recommend getting the dimensions as close to perfect as possible. They’re going to be off slightly on most of the chips, some a little and some more than a little…best to start off with perfect.
10-4….I’m trying to mimic the imperfections of real clay. Lots of clicking…
Using Adobe Illustrator? I like the pencil tool, set to smooth the line after I use it. It beats having to make lots of points.
Ohhhhhhhh….many thanks….I watched 3hours of you tube tutorials. Missed that.
Yes, if you double-click the pencil tool, you can set the level of smoothing as you use it. Be careful though, it can smooth a little TOO much of the art!
Outstanding….now that I know how to make my own artwork I’m going to spend even more money of poker related accessories.…this will be expensive. Big thanks to everyone for helping.
I figured....but don't know how yet....youtube helped me build a motorcycle engine. This will be easier....especially if you tell me. Something to do with the measuring tool, I assume.There is also a way to measure the length of a curve in Illustrator. No math with pi needed.
Yes I would be interested in this. I would need help with the design process. But if I can get help designing my own chips, I’d be in for at least 2,000 chips. Thanks.
"Need" ain't got nothin' to do with it.
79,631 or something close to that
I think I've done the same thing at least 5-6 times myself - plus if you buy a cash set you need to account for inflation! 15 years ago we were playing a lot of 5-10 cent or 10-25 cent poker. Now I don't have much use for the 5 cent chips anymore.
I still host a 5c/10c cash game in the rotation. I don't want to bother getting 5c chips so I just use the $5 as nickels. That way I cover both games
Good on you
I love nickel chips! And cards mold are so cheap - what's an extra hundred or so chips added on to a batch cost? 40 bucks? Big deal.
Cheating/stealing has little to do with morals and more to do with opportunity and the idea that "no one will know or no one will be hurt really"
there's no nickel chip offered in the set I want ... and its not the same group of people. I doubt my wife or close friends/family members would do that and I count the chips at the end ... never an issue if you stay organized
Happy to make suggestions, but we need more information. What stakes and size buy-in do you want to play? I like to be able to cover a wide range of stakes with my cash sets so I have everything from 5 cent chips (actually have one set with 2 cent chips) Up to $100 chips. I have small friendly games with family members and inexperienced poker players where we play .05 / .10 blinds and $20 buy in, with only a few re-buys. These games will use a .05 .25 $1 and a few $5 chips. But last night I played in a game with this same chip set. We played .25/.50 blinds, buy-ins were up to $100, and the game got fairly splashy with quite a few re-buys. The $20s and even a couple $100 chips made appearances. And then there are players in here who use $500 and up chips in their cash games. Maybe even 2 or 3 denominations above the $500.
