Yes. That's the Idea. Bloat the pot licker. The more stuff the better. Put your favorite ball image in the manager. Dozens of others too. Load the sound manager with everything you got. Same with the image manager. Lights, chrome, transparency sheets, wood, the works. Swinging gates and stuff like that will retain their properties when copied and pasted. Flippers too with good settings.

Something like this should turn on more new users.


I did get the ball stuck at the... Oh, never mind.

Wow guys. I'm really glad to see this taking shape already. This will definitely help out new people and give them insight to how individual parts are created. I know we have the ability to disassemble existing tables, but with so many layers it's difficult to see what goes with what part sometimes. I think something like this table broken down into individual parts will help new people like myself see how the individual parts are created.

As a new user, I would have never thought about using multiple wall sections to create a single post...

I was thinking something like this...



Just objects like these. Some complete with rubbers for single posts.

Just this on an object table should be perfect. I'll expand the image/sound libraries, so new authors can sample the sounds before downloading them.

if ya look at the rubbers you'll see that there are 5 of them all on top of each other with heights set at 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34! this gives the rubbers dimension andshadows like a real one does. if you up the 'lum' in the color editor for each rubber by 20 for each higher rubber this lets you change colors for rubbers! check the colored ones out on my slingshots. And fyi this is NOT supposed to be a working table obviously but rather one I store my premade crap on as a reference library. So have fun with it copy parts and hopefully someone will learn how to make some of these by using this table

Noah,

Is the Ball Image Library somewhere on the site? I can't seem to locate it in any of the downloads section.

[Noah Fentz]

I'll get it up today, salasnet.

I've been busy with hosting changes, among other things. Yesterday was just not a good day.

Under Design Resources at the top, you'll find an image and sound library. They are far from complete, but the libraries and tutorials are my next priority.

Thanks.
