Abolute amazing, looks great, excellent work . Are these tables playable, with Roms ?  What do I need to play them?

Awesome work lou! Very nice to see this rendering so cleanly! Really cannot wait till this gets released.

That is so impressive to be able to read existing FP tables. Looks incredible!

Louizou - I am not sure if this was mentioned to you before but are you handling or do you think Unity can implement ball spin. This is something not handled in VP, FP nor the commercial Pinball Arcade software which is something that would make a great difference and create the ultimate pinball simulation.

From my very limited knowledge of Unity while reading on the bus to work , it sounds like the addtorque function can be applied to rigidbody component to implement a spin. Is that something you have experimented with already and if so how did it turn out?

Cheers

Good to see development continuing, tables look really nice. Keep up the good work!

@bent98   I have no fullscreen screenshot at that time(i think you mean arcade view, isn't it ?).

                 I have recently finished my hand made minicab, but it's driven by an 4 years old pc(quadcore + 4Go + 8800GT).

                 I use vp on it (not really smooth on some tables but really fun )

                 I've never tested the project on it.

                 I'll try to take some time to add a new camera and test it on this pc.It will be easier to setup this camera IMO.

                 I don't know if i must use an perspective or orthographic camera to do that ? someone can enlighten me about that ?

 
@Bdaley  : Of course , lol

 

@CPSnine  : thanks a lot !

 

@settingsons : unity implements a function for adding torque to a rigidbody.

                         But i 'm not sure it's necessary to use it ...

                         Rigidbodies have an angular drag parameter ( http://docs.unity3d....-Rigidbody.html )

                         I think by playing with it i can get this spinning effect naturaly..... i 'll test tomorrow .. an old good amiga ball instead of the silver one  is needed here ! hé hé !

I wonder how many people get the amiga ball reference (I was an Atari guy though), keep up the great work.  So exciting

[louizou]

ha ha !!

 

Amiga vs ST , that was such a good time ....

 

R.I.P my dear A1200 with 68030 board + 8Mo of RAM + 450Mo HD   it was so nice ....

[louizou]

In AmigaBall we trust !!

Incredible, love how fast the ball seems to move and the spin that it looks like it has.  Ball control looks like the best I have ever seen in Pinball Simulation.  Can it be that good?

 

 Yeah i really loved my 1040ST, Mega ST, heck my 800, 800xl all were my babies.  You are helping to make these days the "good ole" with things like this coming along.  I remember playing Bill Budge's Pinball Contruction set, incredible how far things have come. 

 

going to watch the video again now

Atari 1040ST owner here.

Awesome times playing Dungeon Master till 3 A.M. with my friends every night.

Also thought it was the coolest thing ever to hook my Casio Keyboard up to the MIDI port and play all the Sierra adventure games with that cool keyboard music.

Good times.

In secondary school Amiga vs. ST was a battle I'll never forget but easily won by the sheer number of Amiga owers.

 

However in primary school ZX Spectrum vs. C64, man that was fierce....

 

Demo looks class by the way

I still have my fully functioning ZX Spectrum 48K... even got a 3.5" floppy drive with it (which was a novelty back then)

Haven't fired it up in years though, it's stored in a box.

Indeed.
