I am uploading scans now to a folder called “Star Wars Data East June 2017 Plastic scans – 01” If you are going to redraw these please let me have them so I can print my own replacement plastics in the future When I get some money I will buy new plastics for the cracked ones, some of the plastics I cant scan because they are riveted together and I do not have the type of rivets used to re-rivet them back

I will have to remove the white background and repair the images I will send them to you when I’m done.  it will be a while I got HQ scans of Big Buck hunter plastics.

For unwapping in blender give “project from view” a try. I have been having really good luck with it. I trace all of my plastics in blender in view 7 on the number pad (it shows an imported background image) Then using Project From View, it does an exact unwrap of the top of the plastic. Using smart unwrap I was getting the same distorted plastics you mentioned, but doing it this way they have all turned out great.

I tried the method “project from view”,  but I must be doing something wrong because the sides do not appear on the textures.  when the images are built,  their is no depth to the plastic primitives.

the good news is that I figured out my problem.

it turns out,  the default texture size in blender is 1024by1024.   My images where blown up to 3000.  Something had to give.

You can import the 3000 size  image into the UV editor  window in Blender,  this was correcting the height but not the width.

the problem was that blender un-wraps the front and back side of the plastic and was fitting it in the original image

An original image that was big enough to only fit a the original  shape of the image.

The height of the texture was correct but the width was distorted.  this was happening because I cropped the canvas size of the image.

to fix this make sure that the canvas size of the image you import into the UV editor is big enough to fit  the front,  back side  and edges of the primitive you are building.

see a table you like help me find the resources so that I can finish it

I can try get pictures of the playfield if I drive for 30 minutes to the machine, is it for virtual or for real life ?

Just virtual. No biggie. The one you posted above is just Eldorado not the City of Gold remake.

this piece goes underneath the green light sabre Luke, under most of the plastics, its purpose is to stop the ball going in the gap on the right of R2D2

thank you for the pics, they where very helpful.

all the clear plastics have been built and added to the table.

from post #65208

all the plastics marked with green and red  are done.

the only thing missing is the unmarked plastics.

 

none of the lights have been placed in their correct place,  I was hoping to get a better PF image before I did that.

The problem with the playfield is the hours it will take to dismantle and then rebuild a machine, however i have just done a deal for a blank one and will have it shipped up to me in the new year , which I will scan and then post up as soon as I can
