RE: Nice

The screenshots look excellent, another top notch wip!

Added a Cirqus Voltaire Pinball Promo Video on the home page in Kurt's honor for this fine looking thang.

Ya never know Kurt, I might just get this one working on my PC. It's the only table of yours that has given me grief. But Xenon (off topic I know) .... awe, that's just bloody brilliant. :)

RE: Nice

Thanks, all!

Here is a shot of my master renders, all in different layers in Photoshop. The yellow lines are done with the "Slice" tool, which is usually used to make image maps for web use. The way I use them, I have the grid set to 8 pixels, and I use the slice tool to mark off all the possible emreels, with "snap to grid" on. When I cut from this image, I can use "snap to slice" to accuratly cut out emreel images, with the proper power of 8 bit width and height. Also, I have a bunch of different layers for the neon. I'm going to try to have the color selectable from red,blue,green,orange and purple. The blue one is selected in this picture.

Stop, elton....I'm blushing. :)

Heres a video wip. I got the Ringmaster and Neon reels cut out and functioning. The video shows all 5 colors (I step through before playing).

CV 2007 Update VidWip 01

What the video doesnt show is I have added a "special" mode, where the neon colors cycle quickly through all colors, everytine the neon comes on. I call it "Rainbow Mode". It looks cool and works well. It will be one of the menu options, and will be off by default.

Remember, the video shows JUST the Ringmaster and Neon Reels. The rest of the reels are not done yet. I just wanted to get the hard ones out of the way first. :)

Heres a video of the "rainbow" neon in action. (Notice I got the ball trapped behind the ringmaster, I'll have to fix that... )
