Did the triangle inserts, and lights.

Finished the playfield lights, with the overlay.


May 19, 2008:
 

 

Finished modeling the moving glove.


May 19, 2008:
 

 

Here it is in rough position on the playfield.


May 19, 2008:
 

 

Finished modeling the fixed glove.


May 19, 2008:
 

 

Here it is on the table.


May 20, 2008:
 

 

Did a bunch of GI Lights, the poppers and
     some posts and rubbers and switches.


May 21, 2008:
 

 

Added some plastics and guides on the bottom.
     Added some more posts and rubbbers.


May 22, 2008:
 

 

Added the left ramp, some right side plastics, and the metal guide
     for the loop.


May 23, 2008:
 

 

Added the right ramp.


May 23, 2008:
 
Here's a Flash slide show of how I made the right ramp.


May 25, 2008:
 

 

Re-Drew and applied the decals to the right ramp.


May 29, 2008:
 

 

Re-Drew a lot of the plastics and decals. Applied the decals to
     the left ramp box. Placed 3 of the strobes.


June 1, 2008:
 

 

Modeled the Ball Matrix.


June 1, 2008:
 

 

Here it is on the table.


June 2, 2008:
 

 

Here is the middle tri-ramp modeled.


June 4, 2008:
 

 

Re-Modeled the Strobes, and re-drew and modeled one of
     the back wall plastics.


October 1, 2008:
 

 

Modeled more parts, and dropped the table into a cabinet. I've been working on the VPM table also. Just need to model some more hardware, brackets and such, and also the back wall plastic and strobe.


October 3, 2008:
 

 

Did all the hardware on the ramp entrance (gates, brackets and switches). Added the lane dividers, and the blue stopper in the Glove VUK trough, as well as resizing the matrix sign.


October 4, 2008:
 

 

Finished the back wall plastics and strobe. Also added the glove spot light. I also selected the final camera angle. Still need to model some stuff under the matrix/ramp area, and some more bits and pieces.


October 11, 2008:
 

 

The Backglass is done, and I only need another card for the apron, and I can begin doing the reels and bringing the table to life.


November 17, 2008:
 

 

Finally got a usable glove animation technique. Click on the image to see it in action.


January 22, 2009:
 

 

Turns out that the last style of glove animation was NOT usable, with in a VPM table. It made all the rest of the ball movement very jerky. This new method does work, however, and you can even see the matrix tray/dump animation works as well!


February 22, 2009:
 

 

Almost done with it! Some play testing and clean up, and it will be good to go!


March 23, 2009:
 

 

It's done!  Go get it!
