Since the light cannot be placed vertically, only the primitive can emit light.

indeed, it is very hard, and will probably get even harder, when you finally get ready to add the sound

I didn't know anything about these tables before.

It already now looks fantastic.

I'm bursting with curiosity about the gameplay and the challenges in the game.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished table.

 

I hope you and everyone involved continue to enjoy finishing the table.

 

Only half a year left until x-mas

It's amazing how well you have handled this table, Somnia. You have shown extraordinary talent.

I see. It looks like I could have the scores float as a hologram right above the playfield targets, just like in Pinball 2000.

Thank you, but the DMD is the biggest challenge. Now I have to slowly generate each frame of the DMD using AI.

Because The Pinball Circus features a multi-level structure, certain flippers, stand-up targets, and slingshots are positioned above the main playfield. The mechanical coils and components underneath them would be visible during gameplay. Therefore, when recreating this in VPX, these parts must also be modeled as meshes and animated so that the visual presentation does not look rigid or lifeless.

amazing, keep up the good work  

[bigus1]

Looks like a lot of fun and I hope my PC can handle it.  I recommend that you try to keep the texture resolutions as low as is reasonable and the polygon count at a minimum too - especially with the animated stuff - if you want a playable framerate, because nothing ruins the illusion like stutter and ultra HD won't make up for it. VP has it's limits and this is looking like it could go close to exceeding them. Sometimes it's necessary to forego a little realism to keep it playable

[htamas]

This is going to be epic.

Thanks for working on it and sharing the progress as you go.

I fully agree with bigus1's suggestions.

Thanks as always, buddy! appreciate it!

Haha, totally get it! Actually, my own PC is quite old too. So don't worryif my PC can run it smoothly, yours definitely will!

Thanks! Yes, I agree completely. That's why I've been using Blender to optimize and reduce the poly counts as I go.

Wow, what an incredible job you have done!  I've had the pleasure of playing this at the Pinball Hall of Fame and it was quite fun.  Thank you for working on this and sharing your progress along the way.

That is amazing! We finally have the very first person who has actually played this machine

Some details e.g. Top spotlight MR16, the unknown chip controlling the MR-16 at the top (possibly 5768-12270-01), the newly added repair fill light 545-5409-01, the ramp light detection chips A-16908 and A-16909, the hidden coil under the elephant head and giraffe lift: AE-26-1500, some deeper structural pillars, and the assembly serial number 36-60020E.
