Do you have to pay for it before it is even made? If so I will wait until they are made and in stock.

These look incredible.

Please ... PLEASE make an RFM 3D translite ... they are smaller you know ...

Ed

Sweet!

WH20 Ordered. Thanks Henrik

Hella cool!

Will I have to play pinball with 3d glasses? I'll try that tonight!

I will be getting a WH2O when they are available.

Maybe a dumb question, but do these require 3D glasses?

From a more technical point of view, if you're so interested: I did about 15 different setups for the 3D cameras for white water. From crossed eyed to parallel, shifting distances, adjusting zero plane or try different (virtual) lenses.

As you demanded some translites that are closer to the player than on regular machines *coughrfmcough* (what was that?) I was also in demand of learning new (image) boundaries as well. Who would have thought I might learn something new after 24 years in 3D graphics?

My goal is to deliver data for the best possible 3D translites, even if means that we have to look at something that's just a blurry mess and may give Henrik a heart attack

I think we worked out a neat workflow for upcoming titles. Henrik's graphics team is awesome, licenses running smoothly, I know what I may and may not do... And you'll get an awesome translite. If you'd won my tournament that is:

No, they are auto stereoscopic hence the 'troubles'...

146.00 to ship to Canada via PPS????? I'm out!

Wow!!!!! Imagine to Brazil!!!!

Awesome!! WH2O ordered

Damn now you have AFM... I said I'd get an AFM if you made one but I am not even done framing MM yet!

AFM ordered thru PPS. Need to see how it looks installed in my AFM before I know if I will be onboard for any other future titles. (I'm expecting it to look great.)

Has anyone mounted a 3D translite in one of these frames? Is the 3d translite thicker than the standard?

http://www.spotlightdisplays.com/pinball-translite-frames.html

I would like to order two. One for my MMR and display the other. Not sure if the translite is too thick.

I have no idea, but thanks for the link... Cool frames! Got to have one now. Definitely planning on getting 3D WH20.

Did the price go up?

wow...yeah that is a little steep.

Anyone in the Ottawa area want to combine shipping on a 3D translite? I believe we can put 3 translites on one delivery and cut that charge down to 50$ per person. If so, I'd be in for a MM 3D...

Please don't turn this into another WH2O topper fiasco.

Yep, totally my fault. Papa was kind of a fiasco, but I did well in IFPA. Almost made it to the top32, instead of being last like two years ago.

Anyway, before I left I did some exclusive tests with new materials and a vastly different workflow. The depth that can be achieved now (read 2016) is close to 30cm (12 inch) without getting too blurry results. This is a goal we want to achieve. Nothing less. And yes, it would take time, a load of prototypes made, possibly even a complete change of the workflow. I got a sample of 3D lenticular here (again not very well to catch on video) but it's awesome in real life:

And for the topper... Hehehe... Well, have a look at this:

We might have to use a microscope to get the structure right, but I'm positive I can do it...

Again, sorry to all of you for the delay I may cause, but especially to Rick and Henrik. But I won't rush the translites out and give you something I wouldn't want to see in my own machines...

Wow wh20 is looking awesome.

Dare I ask if you can transfer what you've learned to a replacement CFTBL hologram?

Hi Mr. Bill,

Pinball Dreams did make another run of really nice CFTBL reproduction holograms which were completed in late January of 2016.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-bunch-of-creature-holo-repros-arriving-mid-january

I would be surprised if this second run of CFTBL replacement holograms has already completely sold out. Anyone looking for a nice CFTBL reproduction hologram should reach out to Henrik Maurer of Pinball Dreams.

Gord

Is it possible that a 3D translite for CFTBL is in the works as well? ....it does say 3D right on it.

Expensive as hell!

So does RfM

To give you a quick update:
...the new prototypes are being produced over the weekend and will arrive next week. The 'previews' I made with the different LPI lenses I have here look great. Can't wait to see the finals

We also found a solution for the closer backglasses...

Are there going to be any changes or improvements to the medieval madness 3-D translight? Or just AFM and WH20?

I preordered a couple 3D translites for Wh20 and AFM. Do you know when these will ship? Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I got my first NIB and was obviously distracted so much by Spidey, I didn't log in to pinside... ))
Gorgeous little bugger.

To answer your question: Yeah, preorders... Didn't know that, though I feared that... I don't know what to reply. Maybe, if I knew I wouldn't have wasted so much time on quality improvements? - ok, no, that would just be a stupid excuse of course I would have invested the same amount of time to achieve my own high standards.

All I can say is: Thanks for your patience. Again.

Well, by coincidence the first production translite will be picked up and shipped to me in the next hours and arrive Thursday or Friday. If approved by Henrik and me, he starts production immediately. The production run takes about a week to print and cure.

Given that R&D and all material and workflow related work has been done (finished) with these two translites the next titles will have significant shorter delivery times.

Again, please blame me not Henrik or Rick for any delays. I owe you a beer or herbal tea (or whatever you prefer) if you happen to be in Austria.

The release candidates (so to speak) just arrived.

I think production will start very soon!

Any idea what other titles you might be working on in the future?

..caught on video

Of course it's hard to capture the depth on camera. But as a hint, look at the Marsian's hands (both left and right) and the movement compared to the background. Damn, I like it

Will Fish Tales be Next??
Danke Heinrich

When will PPS have the next batch of MM in stock? Thanks.

Just a suggestion, I bet you would sell an awful lot of the WH2O translites if you could get approved to offer a version where you add the game title to the artwork, for those of us with no topper!

I second the Fish Tales

Exactly my thoughts. Yet I'm only the 3D guy, not the licensing expert...

But the topper is on my to do list I'm quite confident we can make it. Next week we will have a microscope session to analyze the original... Or MRI, or whatever it takes Ah... Pinball CSI

Hell, yeah!

Never would have thought that really would do that, but yeah, why not?!

***** First!! *****

Someone please give me an old school AOL 'me too!'

Oh man that REALLY makes me want the RFM tl done. Your sooooo cruel.

I'm still hoping for a Fish Tales.

I ordered all 3, shipping is expensive so if all 3 are purchased at once there shipped together

Ditto

Guys, a little off-topic here.... I just got an opportunity to aqcuire a perfect-condition RFM for a good price... I'm not that fond of Pinball 2000 but.... can you convince me otherwise?

Nope. Get it. Great game - great fun, and it seems to be jumping up in value here lately.
