Just donated my $10.
I'm shocked at how quickly they got to over $30K (as of 5/22). I was at like $2K this past weekend. :applaud:

How don't they look good again? The PFs are identical to the real games. The cameras and zooming could be better yes. I just leave it on one camera angle.
When you start a multiball the camera moves out so you can see what you are doing. I'd love to hear why you think they don't look "good".

Try taking a photo of a person, in the brilliant sunny daylight, then placing them in a different photo, in a dark candle-lit room.
Sure... the person is the same... and the background is correct.. But the two dont match because the Lighting is All wrong.
Thats the problem with more Virtual Pinball tables. Heres an example:
MS Pinball - Haunted House:
(use full screen / high quality)
And compare that to:
Its not just that the lighting is bad... but also, theres missing colors, shades, shadows, and highlights.
Even with a pure 3d rendered table, such as the ones being promoted here... Just do not look "real". The ray-tracing & rendering isnt good enough to match real photographic results.
Its not that someone couldnt make a 3d render that looked indistinguishable from a real table... In fact, someome made an amazing Terminator pinball table that looks almost photographic... Its just that Most people wont even come close... and so it looks so different that to me... its a disgrace. Its like saying a red Chevy Cavalier looks just like a Ferrari. Or a Hamburg the same as a high quality steak.
Most of these tables look nothing like the real tables in person. Nothing.

The table is a done deal. :cheers: They have 11 days to go and have raised over $65K.
Pretty cool. 8)

It's one of my least favorite of the "must have" games on my mini pinball cabinet. There seems to be at least 2 places the ball gets stuck on my version anyway. I was just wondering, why are you guys helping to finance a commercial venture when HUO versions are readily available? I'm just curious.
