MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Work continues on Visual Pinball in Unity

Just noting this here as I missed this thread somehow, but there is a dev team that is looking to move the next version of Visual Pinball into the Unity engine.

Recall that something similar was done a few years ago w/ the Unit3d pinball project that remained closed source to this day and didn't gain traction because it involved having to use Future Pinball tables as its base; it quietly was discontinued.

This is open source and has made great progress in the 27 pages of the thread I just read.

Here's the current gallery w/ some examples and some ray traced images mode (high definition render pipeline) for Tom & Jerry:

They're still planning on using some variant of PinMAME and there was some pushback when I asked if they were interested in syncing up to our latest version of MAME. See the interchange here:

Right now they want table authors to get in and take a look around in the editor and gussying up their tables (you can export back to VPX tables from the Unity editor); and they're not at tables being 'playable' yet. But it's progressing well it appears.
