Pinball FX2 BG videos "classic"

[Jannek]

Hey Alex,

 

I´ve uploaded my available resources to your OneDrive.

 

Kind regards,

Jannek

Just uploaded new versions of Star Wars - Rouge one

because I didn't like the lighting in the bottom scene on the old one.

Please download again...

Hey Alex,

 

may you also update the "no grill"-version? Since I did not see any difference I´ve downloaded the "grill"-version as well and saw that this version is obviously different.

The "no grill"-version is still the former lighting style.

 

Many thanks in advance!

 

Cheers,

Jannek

Hi,

Love the classic look, Thanks for you hard work.

Just wondering if you have matching images for the no grill versions? Considering using the static version when in game so as not to be too distracting.

Thanks,

Wob

If you check again through the posts, you should see that he provides links to both grill and no grill versions of his videos. 

If you identify any broken links, please let him know for which backglass. 

[vogliadicane]

I think, he meant images, not videos ... from whatever reason. No,I don't have those without grill, but you can crop the preview images (height 1200 I think) from here.

[Draco1962]

You could also use an image capture program, such as Greenshot, open the non-grill video and capture a still with the lighting effect frozen as you like it and save to file. Would need to open the video as wide as possible within a window to keep the dimensions as close to accurate as possible.

[Wob]

Yes as I said I am after the matching image, I can grab it, just though you might have it to save me doing it. I like to have the image as well as the video I let PinballX do the backglass as I don't want the overhead of the video playing via PinballX, and at least with VP tables if you have the image it flicks to the image rather than a blank screen during loading.

Again thanks for your work.

@vogliadicane Is there a chance to get an FX3 version from the existing videos or maybe better a neutral version without Pinball FX2 or Pinball FX3 logo on it?

[Draco1962]

Good suggestion - if a new collection is made that is neutral, they can be used on systems running both FX2 and FX3

[vogliadicane]

lol day one after release and you point out it doesn't fit anymore

But nice to see that people still appreciate these. I will see, it is really a lot of work and I don't have the logo in each PS file in a seperate layer. But I'm sure, I'll find some solution - sooner or later.

But now let me first install PBFX3 myself, I didn't, yet

Edit: much worse is, that my Cab decals are now outdated, too - 2 months after I applied it. There is also a PBFX2 logo on it

[Draco1962]

Could add the PBFX3 logo in addition to the existing PBFX2 logo possibly? Would depend on the composition as it may be too crowded in some cases.

[vogliadicane]

not sure, if I understand right.

Do you mean YOU could add the PBFX3 logo?

Edit: I think I got you now. You mean - no matter who - basically take the video file as it is and just add the new logo (maybe covering the old one). Good idea. Does that work with compressed formats without making them more lossy?

[Draco1962]

Not sure as I haven't dabbled with video yet.

[vogliadicane]

actually I only for these Backglass videos, so I don't know, too. It would make things much easier this way, so does anybody know more?

[MikujanGurejwitch]

"Does that work with compressed formats without making them more lossy?"

Oh, you have only the final encoded video? Then it will be a challenge to change or modify them. I thougth you saved the project files to.

[Ginsonic]

It would be no problem to "tamper" with the existing videos without recoding, I just tried that. The only problem is, that the current PBFX3 logo is much longer and e bit more slim than the PBFX2 logo, so I must create a new suitable logo...

 

Update: How about that (humble try, since I am no graphic designer )

 

[MikujanGurejwitch]

The image himself looks great but, in my opinion, a logo should not be modified in that way because it losing the identity. But maybe without the number 3 it can be a version neutral Pinball FX logo?

[Ginsonic]

Well, you may be right, but as mentioned before, I am no graphic artist, and the „3“ simply covers the „2“ below 

So everybody is invited to create a new logo to cover up an existing FX2 logo in the backglass images and videos, because the overlay process using FFMPEG itself is quite easy.

[vogliadicane]

@Ginsonic not bad, really. I'll change it a bit to make it neutral, because I agree with MikujanGurejwitch

Edit: what do you think about this one (made from the original)?
