not sure about that green chip, what if you use edge marks, say Blue and maybe 'sand' color? or Bright White, like a flag pole being set on the green?

maybe render it with a stack, I tihnk its too much green, but maybe a pot of 5s with 5 whites will be amazing!

 

[horseshoez]

Good lord with the renders!!!!!! Crazy how beneficial it is to see them in stacks and mock up a real table setting in order to fine tune the design. Well done.

But I'm thinking it might look weird with the fairway grass all the way around the chip, so the left hand side chip has just a solid green to match the edge colour.

Fairway grass could be on the rolling edge and putting green could be on the face.

So I tried doing that. Came up with 2 variations. The one on the right has 2 types of grass, making sense logically from fairway grass to putting green. But I'm thinking it might look weird with the fairway grass all the way around the chip, so the left hand side chip has just a solid green to match the edge colour.

How it sits next to the golf dollar.

I really like the green chip here. Not sure how that would look in real life though.

But, if the texture came through as it does in this, I think it would look great

Another idea for the green chip, if you make the full chipface look like putting green grass, you could add a ballmarker to put the denomination on

This is probably against most advice regarding the newer designs, but I wanted to see what the chips would look like if the inlays were the golf ball. This is just a quick mockup to see how it looks. Definitely won't use the 'titleist' in the main chips. Gonna sit on this for a few days and see how I feel. I might just keep this as a basis, and change the edge spots into little graphics. For example, for the green chip, the 'triangles' might change into little pine trees or something. Same goes for the other 'landscape' chips like the sand/bunker and water, they can have some graphics that relate to their respective terrain. I feel that little graphical icons could change this from just a clay chip imitation into something else.

Awesome

One of the most important parts of the process. Don't rush/force it. You're onto something great with this set.

Great advice, and indeed.

You've only just begun! Obsession will become normal...

 

[allforcharity]

You don't have to use "TItleist", either. Use the same font, and change it to some other word or name or title that has some meaning to you. You can also shrink back the size of the image to give you a bit of outer ring to put other elements relevant to your custom set, like your geographical area, or the name of your poker room, or an additional graphic element, etc.

All this slavish replication of clay edge spots has just gone too far.

Oh it hasn't gone far enough!

Any tips for building chips out in sketchup like that and getting the patterns?

My workflow was export the .ai files into .dwg and open them in sketchup. Draw it out on sketchup and you got them. Might be a inefficient workflow but I don't know of any other way.

These look freaking great, in my opinion. They might look even better with the graphics you were talking about. Maybe rakes on the sand trap chips?

More rake is better.

 

[allforcharity]

More rake is better.

Some prefer more rake, others prefer more hoes.

How do you get the .ai file? Can you get that from the CPC chip creator site?

CPC? My chips are card mold based, so I think you can find them in the consolidated info thread.

Classic Poker Chips. I didn't know if you custom made the .ai file or got it from a chip creator application.

Yup, I know what CPC are. I think you may have confused my chip design (the triangle and stick mold) for CPC, I don't think they offer that design. My chips are designed around 'Cards Mold', a ceramic chip design made in China.

Cards Mold has ai files online, cpc I don't think so.

Ah yeah. I don't know the designs by heart just yet. Where can I find the card mold ai files?

Try the consolidated info thread, I don't quite remember sorry!

Sorry no! Reaching the end of semester means deadlines piling up.

Nice surprise to find people still stumbling onto this thread! I had some time a month ago and I worked on an idea I had for the inlay for the $5 chip. Fairway surrounding the green, with the flag of the 5th hole.

I'm still with the idea of the $25 chip having the connotation of the hazards on the course, which is why the main colour is blue, with the brown bunkers and rocks as the edge spots. More to come at some point, ideas welcome.

 

[flabergas]

Those green/white in the original pic really pop. That black chip makes me feel like i have to draw 4. Love the golf theme

 

[NotDunric]

I absolutely LOVE the latest $5 design with the green & flag. I think this kind of thing is what ceramics were made for. How fucking cool is this, goddamn. When is the GB?!
