Quoted from Only_Pinball:Is this going to be a pro only mod?
He's not talking about the building toy, but the ones across the back that have the light up signs. I believe this area is same on pro/pre/le.
Quoted from stumblor:...my general feeling is to stick as close as possible to Yeti's designs...
...Got some ideas? Let us know! Can't promise that we'll use them, but you never know...
So the good thing about the printed artwork buildings is the lighting. The building in the image you shared is just one color, but its realistic because he added the highlights/shadows.On the other hand, just 3d print a building out of a single color resin/plastic it's going to be very flat because miniature scale objects don't have as dramatic reflection/shadows as real life objects. For the few people who know how to paint the the lighting effects, a good building sculpt can look great. Otherwise, it will just have a cheap look to it. The mezel mod building replacements use a few colors, but it still looks very flat and unrealistic (not trying to bash them, its a hard problem to solve).
Curious what your approach will be. Your sign doesn't have this problem really since its a thin bezel (although i will probably do some edge hightlighting and maybe some weathering effects on mine)

Quoted from stumblor:Also I have to pretend to be a good husband and dad every now and again.
Let's put the family in family business. Put the wife and kids on assembly/fulfillment duty and get started on those other building/sign mods!
Quoted from stumblor:Yes that's right. The right hand 'sign' part in English runs a constant 'glitter' type effect with low intensity to make the sign look like its lightly sparkling. Since that section is also addressable there's no reason it couldn't also change depending on the current mode - at the moment I don't feel there is a need to, but it's provisioned that way just in case.
I assume that's not something configurable right? And I assume your code is closed source so that's not something we can tweak?

Quoted from Original_jason_b:With the initial orders going out soon will you be contacting us? Or should we go to your website to pay? Sorry if this has been stated earlier I only check into pinside every couple of weeks and didn't see anything on your main post
You'll get a pinside PM with instructions. you can set your pinside acct to email you when you get a PM
Also change that from "soon" to "already". Mine left the UK yesterday! Exciting.
I'm team sunburst, or whatever we are calling the default option. Haven't settled on colors for the LEDs yet, other than the default triggered colors, really like that.
+1 for this being so much better in person. I had to turn the LEDs way down to even try to get a good photo, which causes them to kind of bleed into each other..you're just gonna have to trust us, Internet strangers!
Super happy with this mod!

Quoted from stumblor:There are other solutions however
I thought my solution involving flush cutters was quite eloquent and I'm offended it did not make the official documentation!!
