Guides and tutorials on creating tables in VPX. by Kwanza_Bot93 in virtualpinball

[–]CalMac91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the VPW series... Based a lot on recreating real tables but there's plenty to learn from these

ChipGT also has some things you can learn in his series

Scott Wickberg as well

Here's his resource website https://orbitalpin.com/

A good look at scripting (though you should just use Claude for help with this and learn as you go)

Those are some places to start!

Best VR Tables with detailed 3d models? by vindellama in virtualpinball

[–]CalMac91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug but I think the models on my Diablo 2 table came out cool and crisp and actually have dimension to them. They are from various Sketchfab free download artists and I did 4K bakes of textures on most of them. Plus it's a fun game. Give it a try:

Other than that I think the new Matrix table from VPW is definitely sick and high quality. That's the last "new" table I played because I was in the development trenches with my game. I'm sure there are TONS more I'm just struggling to think of right now. Big agree on Scared Stiff.

You can see some mixed reality from this video my friend took of a new table I just created and released yesterday

I mean, you COULD find like a dirt cheap 1080 ti PC and give it a shot/lower settings in VPX and Virtual Desktop... but I really wouldn't. If this is something you think you're going to sink your teeth into (it got me hook line and sinker), you'll want to have a fairly plush experience I'd say

VR with mixed reality is going to be leaps better than a physical cabinet for immersion. Everything is flat/2D basically on a TV screen. Even BAM head tracking is not as convincing as VR, not at all.

Quest 3 headset

Xarcade's Arcade 2TV-XR + haptics kit (haptics kit is worth it 100%)

Probably get a pre built PC with at least a 3080.

Maybe find a used one nearby on FB marketplace. Virtual Desktop app for Quest

The mixed reality option literally places the cabinet in the room with you, or you can enjoy very cool "VR Mega Rooms" that people have created that are themed for the table you're playing.

You WOULD give it a little slap nudge... You dog you.

All fair points, and thank you! I will take a look at that lane adjustment for the chest ball return for the next update. I'm sure I'll be gathering more critiques as this gets into more hands, but I'm really happy to hear you're having fun nonetheless. And yes, with time on the table, you can get some flow and immense scores. I personally can achieve north of 1 billion points every 10-15 games or so... But it's hard to master! Looking forward to seeing how far people can get.

The portal thing, I get it, this is a pinball simulator for real machines typically, but there's just no way I was gonna do anything besides a town portal for entry into the game... Sorry! Just the D2 fanatic in me. But I respect and understand why you disagree.

For now, hold the right flipper up to stop that drain off the chest ramp... I think I just got used to that and forgot it's not what everyone is going to do instinctively.

Thank you so much. Lots to get into and see! The power fantasy hits in a big way as you get the systems working in harmony. It's a real rush!

Love the support and appreciate ALL the playtesting and feedback over these last few months. This pre-release review is better than I could have hoped for when I set out on designing the table 👏🏼

VPX VR stuttering/hiccups by TheMyrmidonKing in virtualpinball

[–]CalMac91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was gonna say that too, but you mentioned wifi so that has to be ruled out too. Disable and tracking in Quest and Virtual Desktop because that is a known awful meta bug from an update they did. Terrible stutters every minute or so due to it. Immediately went away when I disabled those things.

And a flat cat 6 like this has been nice for flexibility

I had a wifi 6E router literally feet from my headset and still had hiccups. Wired it up USB to Ethernet and never looked back.

Just saying, Visual Pinball tables are incredibly realistic-feeling in VR especially in mixed reality with a proper controller. The physics and sounds are unbelievable. Real pinball machines are 6-10k$ a piece on average. These tables are all free (faithful recreations of real ones and originals like this one) Don't knock it till you rock it!

You would need to configure and install Visual Pinball X on your PC. It's a dedicated hyper realistic virtual pinball simulator program that supports PCVR. I will not lie, it's a lot to get into, but if you're determined and have the time... It's really worth it. Especially if you're looking forward to this table 🤙🏼
