Hi! My name is Rafal Janicki

 

After 3 months work I made BAM.

BAM is Future Pinball MOD (game MOD, not a table).

 

This MOD is designed for ARCADE MODE.

 

BAM changes the rendering and by that makes table looks like real one.

 

See video i have made:

 

More info on my page:

BAM is Freeware

sorry I must not be seeing what you made

I don't use fp rather I play only ion vp

 but I do have a few fp pins

 your video shows something to be like the pins I play now

 a tad more 3d looking though

 but it is still for FP with its questionable physics

cool concept though if it looks different than what you first had

[The Loafer]

Never mind Faralos and his "irrelevant to your mod" physics comment, this looks very cool and look forward to trying it. Looks amazing, may have to try that wiimote mod too

Faralos: you really don't see what he's done with head tracking?

[Slydog43]

OMG, that is awesome.  I l love the fact that it auto resized the tables.  I have downloaded all of the FP tables I could find, but have not resized them size I know there is a tool coming out that will allow some sort of auto  resizing, but this out now.  Thanks!  

 

This is really great, thanks

 

 

just donated,

The depth of the playfields look amazing!! Is this real??

[Zablon]

Wow that depth! And that is done w/o 3D glasses? Watching the video, it really looks like he's using some sort of 3D glasses for this.

 

Of course, the autosizing feature alone will be great!

 

He doesnt' mention which physic version he's using for this (if you download the mod, you'll understand why this is a question).

I use last version from FuturePinball.com (1.9.1.20101231) without any modification.

[kruge99]

It may be done without a 3D glasses, but I suspect a "headset" of some kind is required. How else is the viewing angle measured and changed constantly? There has got to be more to this than simply loading a different EXE file. Smells fishy to me.

He explains in on his site, he uses wiimotes for head tracking.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

[Zablon]

Suspicions is a bit strong don't you think? there is a wii-moteless mode as well. I knew the vid was with head tracking (and he does explain how to set it up ect), however it still looked like there was some 3D glasses involved Anyway, I tried it, and can't seem to get it to work (as can no one else). Guess we'll wait and see.

FP has supported Head Tracking for years but I don't know of anyone that bothers with it.  It's has always been a curious gimmick.

 

However, this does look great.  The biggest turn off for me for ever owning a Pin Cab is the flat and lifeless image it produces of the pinball table.  With this technology in place, it would change everything.

[Shooby Doo]

Looks cool! I would wear a retarded looking thing on my head for realistic 3D like that.

[Zablon]

So I did manage to get it working (without the head tracking). Pretty cool overall, there's alot of tweaking of settings to make it look right, but it shows great promise:D

[The Loafer]

I got it to work no problem except for the Auto-sizing though I have not read everything on it yet, so maybe I am missing something. The resizing option works better and faster through this app though, super well in fact.

[open6l]

For table sizing (globally) go with FPTools 1.2 posted today by sk1.

 

Edit: The Loafer - nevermind - misinterpreted your post

 

and yeah - the sizer is better (but the results are sometimes mixed if you already use the arcaderender exe from 2008 and/or the latest 2.5).

This is awesome! I was just think about something like this a few days ago. Even without 3D glasses the depth perspective is absolutely amazing. It definitely tricks your brain into seeing "real 3D". I've got to get a Wii to try this out.

[shimoda]

Wow, the video looks great! Looking at his info it wouldn't be any crazy headset, more like a simple hat with an IR led.

[faralos]

how was I to know he was talking about head tracking?

 I still complimented him on making it though
