After Diner I researched on a new table to work on. I wanted a challenge and I wanted to do it in cooperation with several people. So: here is the start of the WIP for White Water VPX!

 

The people I asked to help me with this are:

Ben Logan: plastic redraws, testing

Dark: modelling the mountains and Bigfoot

Clark Kent: research, resources, playfield reconstruction

Wrd1972: conversion VP9 to VPX, table physics & construction

Me: wire and transparent ramps, lighting, plastics & textures modelling & rendering, etc

 

Contributors so far on content:

JPSalas: original VP9 table

Tom Towers: preliminary bigfoot model

Clark Kent: found a friend with very good images of the playfield and upper playfield, not yet available on the web

Arcade4: many images of the rocks for Dark

 

And now for the first shots:

I started with creating new inserts textures in Blender. These are the first two, fully 3d modelled and lit in Blender:

 

 

When inserted in the new playfield in the first conversion from VP9, it looks like this:

Diner and BK2K are great tables and I'm sure the next one also. I think your sidewalls look the best especially for my backdrop settings. Thanks a lot!

YES!!! this is going to be so amazing

Dinner is the best table so far...

Good luck with this project, whatever the quality of

Omg - I heard some rumours and have seen some shatter about wanting material for this machine. But, guys, looking at who is actually teaming up on the release I can't be anything than very excited. This is one of the machines that I feel is very good on PM5. Can it be improved ? -Sure, by you guys - I'm confident that it will.

love your crazy attention to detail flupps...

Wonderful Choice Flupper1!!

If Diner is anything to go by, WW will be equally epic!

 

Looking forward to it...

That will be another extraordinary table

This is a top 5 pin of all time for me in the real world, can't wait to see this recreation, what a great team.

[vampirolatino2]

Nice A-Team!

Easy top 5 pin. So original and tough. Love it.

I don't want to start with the whole "balls" thread again, but if Flupper could make a hairy Bigfoot ball, that would be cool!😂

[krille81]

Yes!!!!! Thank you love this table

I have begun work on Big Foot.  I start with fuzzel's old 3D photo scan as a base mesh and then gradually begin to convert it into a high poly sculpt.  I've also been looking into some low poly fur solutions to try and give him more of a fuzzy outline instead of a hard edge.

 

As I smooth out the rigid geometry of the original scan I lose some detail so I have to manually sculpt it back in,  also the original's face is symmetrical where as the real life one is cock eyed so I start to make those adjustments as well.

[vampirolatino2]

very very nice work in the model!

I started working on the ramps, there sure are a lot of those in WH2O! And they are all next to each other, on top of each other and connected sometimes... But this is the progress so far in Blender:

 

 

 

I will be using simplified versions of these ramps as physics ramps in VPX, tested this with several of these already. When the rest of the table is finished, I can render these ramps in the same way as for Diner, and use that as textures for the final VPX ramps.

 

These ramps imported in VPX (with a temporary material) looks like this:

 

Most of the inserts are finished, most of them based on a newly made, Blender rendered insert plastic:
