Looks great, appreciate the passion that obviously went into this.

I’ve always thought that this table looks kind of messy and unattractive. You’ve made me change my mind @schreibi34 !

Really nice !

I always though the artwork looked great but the playfield feels crowded with lots of things to deflect balls back at the player,  I think the core of the playfield layout issue is the targets belo…

Wow. That is a very comprehensive and great wiki page. Thank you. I browsed through it very quickly and there is so much information there that I’ll have to visit and re-visit it time and time again. Having such information readily available in the wiki is gold !

Yeah I figured I have a fairly decent understanding of 3D and m…[Read more]

It appears to me that the magnet assembly (metal parts) behind the dish were not sized with the same values as the dish because the magnet in the middle should fill the center hole of the dish perfectly and not let any light through.

Looks like i solved the problems! Frank got bigger and the ramps, vert kicker and PF thing now fits together.

@Dark

Do you still want to work on Frank? If yes, how should i export the table for you?

Yes I plan to start on him in a few weeks, so no hurry.

Measurements definitely help, especially for ramp heights as you can never really tell the heights from schematics, in most cases in VP they are basically just eye-balled to match photos and surrounding elements.

I recently completed the tank for goldeneye, I will begin on the helicopter soon which i don’t think will take too long since I think it will be easier than the tank was.  After I have the helicopter finished I plan to update my Frank model.  I estimate with my current amount of free time to work on this stuff, I’ll likely have helicopter done i…[Read more]

I don’t know if you guys want/need the actual topper for your set up’s but here is a 3D model version of it:

@bord   I guess it depends on how long you’re willing to wait as I seem to be getting backed up with things to-do already.  If someone else is capable of modelling this I’d say have at it since, in all honest this sort of thing doesn’t interest me as much as table toys.  With that said, if you need it, I’ll help ya out.

Is the ramp what’s not correct or frank sizing?  I made him fit best I could at the time based off photo references and the vp table layout.  Whether in VP or in 3D he’s easy enough to re-size but if he is to be as close to the ‘correct’ size then the ramp issues should be dealt with.  You can feel free to modify the Frank model as needed, all my…[Read more]

I think this should be everything you need for the gunhandle:

And the topper:

No I don’t have any VR equipment so I haven’t tried it.

I also have the topper model if you want.  All the files are on my other work station so I have to dig them up.

My sketchfab version of the table/cabinet has a low poly plunger gun, I could try and dig up the files for you some time.

If you haven’t seen the table on sketchfab it’s worth checking out just to inspect all the HD artwork.  Some day VP will be fully dynamic 3D with fully dynamic 3d lighting and when that day comes Jurassic park will be ready!…[Read more]

Heads up, file updated to 1.1 – see change log.

@bord

Not that any of my bakes are perfect, I keep finding methods to improve my process while trying to keep some key points in mind.

This video does a really good job at explaining how to avoid bad side effects in baking and ways to approach a few issues (also its in blender)

I rendered both tangent and world normals bump maps for the turret in the event we want to animate it rotating. I’ve set the pivot point on the tank turret so it can be easily animated turning on the tank.

@dark, can you give me the cliff notes on tangent vs. world maps. I’m not familiar with the difference.

Well this was…[Read more]

I talked to sliderpoint briefly, he’s pretty busy these days but he may release an update for the table at some point.

If you want to update the model yourself what you’ll have to do is….

-Identify each primitive part on the table (Flukeman, flukeman tunnel)

-While having the appropriate part selected, ex. Flukeman, click ‘import’ from the…[Read more]
