Looking fantastic!! For the 4:3 IMO the best angles are the ones used by Groni and Lord Hiryu.

Great job! I second the opinion of Sandro, I especially like GRONI's perspective,

Looks very good unclewilly,
maybe is it possible for you to change the angle. I like the table angle from Groni, JP and LH .

Hey UW, I'm sure you already have all the artwork you need, but I just noticed that Classic Playfields has done a re-run on the Pin*Bot plastics sets:

The last i could get done before my trip. The drop pamp is complete. Gates make for super smooth animations for this kind of thing. I feel like i maybe should have used a gate for the visor as well. Maybe in an update as i'm happy the way it looks now.
Took me a while to get the texture for the ramp right. Then i realized it had to be upside down and backwards and on the bottom of the gat for it to look right.

Sorry i'm kind of a dork about this, but now that it works and looks good i figured i'd show it off.

Now it's just the minipf some miscelaneous hardware and the flashers. Then i'll catch BOP up and code them both at once.

Drop Ramp down:

I wish i could do video so you could see how smooth the animation is

Off to california extreme

I'll Try and use jp's angle that he used on jackbot since the tables have identical layouts and our objects are about the same heights. I hope that will be ok for the 4:3 gang

Looks very well unclewilly and yes, the JP angle is very OK, THANKS.

It's getting Beautiful, UW. But I'm another one ...

If my opinion counts... opinion of a great fan of your tables...
I also prefer the JP or GRONI angles / perspective.

Right now I'm playing like a madman your Xenon 4:3. What a hard table!!!! My score is only 400K. The ball falls too much between flipers. It is more difficult than the real machine! Btw, I thought the angle/perspective of your Xenon is OK!!!


Good job on your Pinbot, UW!!

Good job on your Pinbot, UW!!

for Xenon, just click on both flippers in the editor and make them a little longer. I went by my testers as far as gameplay on that one as i have never played a real one. Maybe this weekend i'll get to at the convention

Sorry UW, I know this should be discussed in another topic, but...
It seems that the current size of the xenon 1.1 flipplers are correct. I played it hundreds of times. And in my personal opinion something is doing the ball draining vertically. When the ball touches the targets or hit bumpers, for example, the ball often falls unerring between the flipplers with no chance to defend. Maybe a little more elasticity in the targets will help. I also thought that the ball almost no bounce on flipers. Sometimes purposely I let the ball fall straight to flipper to move from flipper to another flipper, or even trying to control it... But It's hard cause it looks like low elasticity on the flippers.
I believe who tested Xenon 1.1 also should think that is too hard to play.
Sorry my bad english
Thank you very much for your attention!

[BarfHappy]

Thank you for taking the huge amount of time required to rebuild these tables... they are among my absolute favorites
If i could, i d offer you a drink.

[unclewilly]

Ok this one is done except the lighting textures and the code, now to catch up BOP

[kruge99]

OMG! what a piece of eye candy! That looks amazing UW! Let me know if you need it play-tested as I have played Pin*Bot for almost a year straight during High School.


Best Regards,
Todd.

[epthegeek]

Looks absolutely stunning UW!

Tables like this are exactly why I was really tentative to take on building gilligan. So much to live up to

[Grizz]

Looks awesome brother!
And that was done during your jetlagged period!
Thanks for all the great work.

[moogster66]

Damn I am getting excited, BOP is showing me her oh face.

Looks good dude, you are an artist!

[humid]

Haven't looked at this thread for ages. That screen of Pinbot looks stellar from top to bottom. I'm sure you'll have the Bride in a a gorgeous state soon U.W. All of us Bot fans will be saying thanks a Billion when she walks down the aisle.
