Hello!  Hopefully I am posting this in the right place.  I am very new to virtual pinball - but I am enjoying learning about it!

 

I have a 48" 4K tv mounted vertically on my wall - with a CoinOps vertical Legends front end for arcade gaming (still in process) - this lead to me a rabbit hole of Virtual Pinball!

 

So I came up with this great idea (in my mind anyhow).  I could add company logos, product pics, etc, to a table to try to draw people into our booth!

 

But I don't have a lot of knowledge to go by... ( I have watched many youtube videos)

 

I have done one install using baller installer that went reasonable well.

 

So I would love some recommendations and help from ya'll!   I am leaning towards using Visual Pinball (but I can be swayed). 

 

What is the fastest, easiest way for me to create a custom table (software) that will allow me to put company logos  and maybe some product pictures on the table?

 

What is a good table to start with?  I can't find the ones used in a how to video...

 

THANKS!

 

Tim

Since gameplay is not exactly a priority here, just make a table from scratch.

Start with like the fully example table?

 

change all the graphics

maybe put logo's on the targets, you could change their size to make them larger

 

add some minimal scoring

 

Maybe put a flasher on the backwall of the table

have it display different product pictures?

 

Not sure how complex you want to get but seems that if your primary intention is to advertise

then keep the table simple, do not make it too busy or people get lost from what you want them to see.

Your best bet is to create an original and use that as a base. I've been commissioned for a couple trade shows and Comican, and I reskinned my 100% originals. You can learn from other people's work, but don't reuse it. I also uploaded them for everyone to enjoy as I don't own them, I just created them. They're on VPU because someone was nice enough to convert them to vpx from vp9 for me.
