LW,
 
Don't know if this is of any use?

yes thats great thank you!

 

No problem

 

We should really do a 3D model of this some day (wouldn't be too hard) but since it's only a static toy this pic should suffice for now.

Glad everyone is enjoying it! I will have a nice update new toys, more lights, plunger changes, dof fix and more..

No offence intended 999. Your POVs always look too low to me, that said I don't play pins sat down.

I'm about 6 ft and own some real pins and can always see a bit of the back of the flippers, but not to the degree that you alt the POV for.

Anyway each to his own, a POV is just that, unique to each person's height and we're all different.

Cheers.

LW, maybe you will give the "TV Mod" another (better) Chance ?

Or maybe, as you said, is it too bad for a VP (should Change the Pictures) ?

 

And the Car, do you mean this ?

I'm 5' 11" but play sitting on a stool. I like the POV adjusting as it gives the illusion of some depth. some are better than others for sure but i'll try anything to make it look alittle more "3d"

[thewool]

With some tweaking of the settings depth can be achieved using any persons height as a starting point. As well as looking 3d it also has to look natural. Any back on topic talking about this ace release!

[Pinball999]

No offense taken thewool, I "might" have overreacted a bit

And I believe that this discussion is on topic, since we are discussing about possible future TZ updates (mine or LW's).

 

I fully agree with Randr when he says that more 3D effect should be achieved, and this is currently missing for some of us on the current version.

 

Actually, there might be a solution to please all of us..

 

The trickiest part when changing the POV on LW's tables, is to realign the flashers after the Layback has been changed.

Once this is done, changing the other values doesn't have too much effect on the flashers' positions.

Since what seems to bother you is the way the flippers are seen, could you please have a try at the settings I have provided on the first page of this thread, and use 65 instead of 60 for the field of view?

It's this option that I'm using to tweak the view towards the flippers. I've had a try myself on my TZ, and it makes the flippers with a more pronounced top view, while keeping the flashers where they should be.

 

Would be curious to hear how it works for you, as well as what the other think about the differents settings available (current and alternative).

Im home for a day or 2 (northeast snow storm) and have not installed my T-Bird mod for my Twilight zone.  Are any other pics needed of the thunderbird?, since its very easy right not.

hell yea put it on a counter or something or in the machine glass off and take a pic with the car being on the left at an angle so I can have a view of the car what it would look like if I was standing at my cab. Hope you kinda understand what im talking about.. or you can take some pics at different angles but needs to be kinda top right side view. Thanks

[Slydog43]

here is a quick try holding car with paint stirrer over my pool table.  If this is kinda what you want I can try again, just tell me what to do.

Slydog, I think this sort of angle is what LW wants:

 

[Slydog43]

another try.  Maybe I should just mount the mod and take a pic from my where my eyes would be on the real table?
