this looks..... AMAZING!!!!  

 

Can just imagine the ball flow once rubbery objects are introduced... so much control it makes me weak at the knees.

 

Cheers for sharing! 

[Slydog43]

wow, really nice flipper demo. I say once the ball leave the surface of the table, that great!!!

[zoltar420]

Amazing!  Keep up the great work you guys!

Very impressive! Only the ball is too bouncy at the moment but I think as the physics appear very very realistic that could also be handled...

Apparently the old version of timeshock had drop catches. That is crazy! That is something that is missing from vp and tpa that I miss very much. Flipper control is nil with both of those sim...

Yes you can indeed do some flipper tricks with VP and I would most certainly not say, in these cases at least, that the control is "nil". Mainly with some scripting enhancments / sub routines implementation, the demo vidoes in the posts below show what is possible and have been incorporated into several current tables.

The drop catch I am referring to is waiting for the ball to come at the flipper and hitting the button at the right time and having it stop on the flipper.

For what ever reason BMPR tables always made the ball feel super floaty on my set up...

I can't agree more ! The ball is indeed too bouncy, when this problem is solved then the physics are very realistic!

 

(GREAT work so far, looking forward to the first release)

Fantastic work so far ! Everything seems to be coming along nicely.

You have me confused on that one. This YouTube video is from 2011? Is this the future pinball road girls table converted to unity3d?

[Slydog43]

That is why I posted it, very strange.  Someone else also working on a Unity Pinball engine for FP tables?   

[BilboX]

Have to check with Louizou, but I think this is the "Ricardo" with whom he shared early state of PU3D...

[RSOU]

Yes, this is mine. But I could not help Louizou with your project, because he is writing in C # and I write in Javascript and I found the code very difficult to understand for me because it takes something from VP and because I'm Brazilian, he French and our conversations in English ... see the problem? hehehe

Now, I'm writing another project. I found the community a plugin that converts a table.fpt to table.obj and my code in Unity, converts this table to "playable" ... is at an early stage, but I have some good results. And it works on Android Tablet's ...

really this is going nowhere.no demo no tutorial nothing after so long!!

What?

[RSOU]

Calm boy ... I received Louizou files when the project was still at the beginning. Not seen the results they achieved so far? If you are unaware of what is to transform a program in another, guess you really should not be as excited as I am. They are doing a great great job, keep it up.

Okay, here is an actual state of flippers simulation. I give you the raw session, no tricks there :

 

 

This is a raw flippers behaviour test session to see how my new more complex flippers behaviour worked. I used my "Debug Shot" functionnality (drag and drop with mouse). When I pressed space, the last recorded shot was replayed, that's why the ball disapear and reapear elsewhere.

 

I tried to make dead passes, flipper passes (left to right and right to left), drop and catch, drop/catch/shot and, in the beginning, death saves...

 

You can also ear some of the sound simulation recently implented. Pay attention to the rolling ball sound.

 

More video to come, including one about flipper response curves tuning tool...

 

For flippers is more realistic if you apply forces to a cylinder and this cylinder is joint with the flipper, Ball Weight is more realistic, mass, and shoots.

You obviously have no concept of what it takes to do something of this magnitude.

[BilboX]

Please be patient, it's a lot of work and we work as fast as we can (cab video coming soon).

 

Thanks Ricardo, and good luck for your project.

I hope this was a joke and if so, it was a very bad/lame one!

 

BilboX and Louizou, keep up the good work :-)

This looks really great so far.  Can't wait to see how it progresses!
