I bet all my chips that we’ll even see a beautiful new B2S from @blacksad before too long.

Hear Hear! I’ve been using PinballY since the beginning. Really matches my interest in a front end with simplicity and very little need for troubleshooting.

Lots of other good stuff out there but PinballY is my go to.

For reference: http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/PinballY.php

Somehow this is my only photo from the event:

It was a great event. I had fun and learned a lot about EMs. It’s a great way to discover games you would otherwise never get to see and play. Scottacus and Whirlwind are terrific guys to know. Here’s hoping we can do it again next year!

If the image gets distorted it is probably from the UV map getting pulled in different directions when you clean up your mesh. You can remap it by viewing the playfield precisely from top down, then UV/Project From View (bounds)

In UV view you can rotate the UV 180 degrees if it projects upside down (which it did in the pictured example). Then…[Read more]

Yes, balls and other elements but only on the PF. Nothing on walls, meshes, ramps etc.

I was playing around with reverse images on the walls or flashers like in Comet. Is there a way to make the balls reflect on the walls.

Only with ScreenSpace or some awfully fancy animation and ball tracking.

Fingers crossed VP11 happens someday.

Always the best of work from you, @blacksad. This B2S is greatly appreciated!

3. Is there a way to make those thin metal vertical walls mirror like. I seem to remember a table that has one at the top that is very reflective but I can’t remember which one it is

***Sliderpoint’s Comet.. uses a flasher with the opposite image. Interesting

I’ll field this one. No reflections in VP engine, but turning ScreenSpace on can som…[Read more]

While we’re on the topic can I say how much I still love this build? @nFozzy is/was one of the best. Hope he returns someday.

A little more details and maybe I could follow

Knew a tiny bit of blender a while ago. Guess I have to start all over again

Not sure what I can add to this part of the process but I can pad out the front end to include details for importing your table into Blender.

Should probably do a version for Blender 2.8 eventually.

so I haven’t been able to compare, but does this give a better look around things like wire triggers and such as opposed to cutting a hole in the playfield image like I normally do?

ooh, and does it fix the reflection issue over those.. that would be a huge benefit. so, can I import the obj for say my drop target bank hole and use that to cut t…[Read more]

Next @borgdog will provide a testimonial for how well this process works…

Game price is right but if you’re as cheap as @krisser says I’d hate to see my bar tab at the end of the night.

Blainbrook! Whenever I’m in the cities I go there to drink Makers Mark, burn a lot of quarters and close the place out. Lots of great games.

Hope you and @krisser had fun.

Agreed. JP is really gracious. I’ll certainly send him my finished project with his option of using anything from it.

Yeah, I’d like to do more of these for tables that are built really well (like JP’s Sorcerer) but that might benefit from some additional visual styling.

Hopefully it also seems like a respectful way to do it. The last thing I’m interested in is undermining someone’s project.

Thanks @bord, it looks awesome, maybe a mistake, but backguide is an .mtl instead of a .obj and I can’t import it. U did something with the GI lights too? Cause I think mine doesn’t look so nice.

My mistake. Should be fixed in the link now.

The last step in this process will be a quick tutorial on how to render your own shadow layers to sav…[Read more]
