NBA Fastbreak (Bally 1997) VPW Mod

When Tomate joined VPW he brought Darth Marino's NBA Fastbreak with him and hit the ground running! A veteran of Sketchup, he learned Blender surprisingly fast and baked out new textures for pretty much everything. There is only handful of objects that hasn't been redone in past 4 months. A thousand stuck balls later with much debugging, lighting and miscellaneous other contributions from iaakki and Sixtoe and we had shot and scored a decent tune-up for this table: Nfozzy physics, Fleep sounds, 3D inserts, flupper domes, VR room and more!

• Includes Desktop, Cab and VR versions in one VPX.
• Plastics, Ramps, Nuts, Bolts: Tomate
• Wires: Tomate, Mr_H
• Playfield: EBisLit, iaakki
• Physics: RothbauerW, Benji, iaakki
• Inserts: iaakki
• Lights: iaakki, Sixtoe
• VR Room: Sixtoe
• Miscellaneous tweaks: iaakki, Sixtoe, Benji, Oqqsan
• Testing: VPin Workshop Discord, Rik Laubach

This release wouldn't have been possible without the legacy of those who came before us including Darth Marino, DJRobX, CarnyPriest, MaX, Aurich, bmiki75, JPSalas

Thank you to Flupper for 3D insert techniques & domes. Thank you to Rothbauerw for nFozzy physics.
