Based on the 1979 pinball machine by Zaccaria.
Including a document called: How I build a VPX table - by jpsalas 2024
In this tutorial I'll explain how I build my VPX tables. But this is not manual about how VPX works, it is a simple guide how I build my tables. As you all may know I build my tables as easy as possible, mostly using what VPX has to offer of built inn objects and using some primitives for the objects that are not native to VPX, like posts, bumper caps, gates, special targets and other ornamental objects. It is not an "in depth" tutorial of VPX, it is a simple guide, but I hope it will be useful to someone starting building tables. The VPX editor can only be learned by using it, reading the documentation, and looking how others build their tables.

Hola JP
Los flippers son los mas reales que he visto en un pinball virtual.
Cuando veo un video de un pinball de verdad y después uno virtual, el movimiento de los flippers no se parece en nada. En este, está muy bien conseguido
Beautiful thankyou JP... and thankyou for everything you have done for the scene.
beautiful work! thank you JP, and a big thanks for your tutorial on building a table, very detailed and it explains a lot of stuff. Your contributions are appreciated more than you know, thank you!
very nice! thanks!

Oh man, Thank You!! This guide may get me back to trying a build I started months ago. The pfmesh is the best part of this for me. I just could not make it work before, now I have a little hope. Now if I could only figure out how to script/code the dang thing!
