I just can't get enough of Flupper's ramps.   They look like they are made of a beautiful, pristine heavy glass.    I remember when we were happy just to have them be transparent.  

Now the tables look prettier than the real thing!  

This table might force me to upgrade to 4k.  LOL

 

I've been considering a 4K screen, now I'm inching a lot closer to it.  Do they make any 46" 4K GSYNC compatible screens that don't require a brinks truck on standby? LOL

flupper,

Thanks for everything you do for this community and for sharing your work. It's just incredible how real this table looks.

[Thalamus]

Like the rest of the guys - I need to thank you for being such a stand-up guy helping out when asked. It is very easy to understand why you're such a asset to this community looking at these screenshots. Absolutely amazing !

One more shout out for Dark's models. They look extra amazing in context! Loving watching this table take shape.

Insane quality, very impressive once again!

And for those of you wondering why my tables take a long time to be finished: 

 

These are all the versions of the rendered plastic texture for one of the plastics (below the whirlpool):

 

The one in the top left is what I started with, the bottom right one is the final one. The process for my plastics is like this:

- Lobotomy redrew the plastics (for White Water that is)

- I make a black outline in photoshop and save it as png

- I use Inkscape to convert the png to svg (tip from FreneticAmnesic I believe)

- I import the svg in Blender, add some modifiers for a glass layer on top and some environment files for reflections and lighting

- I render, export primitive to VPX, import render into VPX, check to see what it looks like, change some render settings and render again and repeat and repeat and repeat 

 

Until I like what I see:

Can't wait for this tutorial     I've been getting the hang of the ramps, and plastics are next on my list to take up a notch.

 

Love following along with your builds.  Such a unique table to pull out all the stops on.  It really shows too!!!  Keep it up, can't wait to see the final product!!!

Allright, I need some script advice: I am trying to code the ball lock area for three balls with switches 63,64,65. I think I need cvpmTrough for that, but that does not seem to have a way to kick the ball vertically. In Wh2O the balls are ejected straight up into a wireramp. What would I need in the script to do this?

 

 

This is the old code from VP9 (there are 2 kickers, one on the ground level called lockup, one  on the exit level (235 height) called popkick)

 

' Locks

Set bsLocks = New cvpmBallStack

With bsLocks

.Initsw 0, 63, 64, 65, 0, 0, 0, 0

.InitKick Popkick, 80, 25

.KickZ = 1.28

End With

 

Sub Lockup_Hit:ClearBallId:PlaySound "hole_enter":bsLocks.AddBall Me:End Sub

 

SolCallback(4) = "bsLocks.Solout"    ' Lockup Popper

What about without the cvpmTrough?  I skipped it in bttf and worked well for the color ramp lock.  The cvpmTrough kinda always makes my head spin...  They key is just getting them lined up right

 

2 triggers and a kicker. (I assume)

 

 

SolCallback(4) = "KickBallUp"    ' Lockup Popper

 

'trigger1

Sub sw63_Hiit()

Controller.Switch(63) = 1

End Sub

 

Sub sw63_unHit()

Controller.Switch(63) = 0

End Sub

 

 

'trigger2

Sub sw64_Hiit()

Controller.Switch(64) = 1

End Sub

 

Sub sw64_unHit()

Controller.Switch(64) = 0

End Sub

 

 

'kicker

Sub sw65_hit()

Controller.Switch(65) = 1

End Sub

 

Sub KickBallUp(Enabled)

sw65.Kick 0,60,1.50

Controller.Switch(65) = 0

End Sub

[flupper1]

Thanks! I will try that tomorrow.
