World Poker Tour (Stern 2006)

The hottest game in town! 

Time for a true players game! 
A game that I found in a unfinished and broken state. 
So I took the challenge to do an extensive rebuild to not only meet modern standards, but also a game that pushed my skillset to the limits and beyond. 
I even challenged myself to learn more about baking in Blender with great succes. 
This is not a toolkitted table but the entire VR Mega room looks absolutely stunning!
This table was the toughest one I have worked on so far, almost taking 2 months to complete and with major issues during a long period of testing.
I do must apoligize to the entire VPW team for an exhausting adventure I put on them as well as me.
I do feel ready to step up to a higher level after reaching a ceiling.
There still is a sky beyond that ceiling to explore.
And even the sky is not the limit.

This table requires VP 10.8 and VPinMame 3.6.

Warning, to avoid issues with the insert lights being frozen please update to the latest b2s server version 2.1.6 or higher when available.
Even when you don't use it for a backglass, just do it!

Update v.2.4:
This is a big visual update and also has physics updates on the target mass and Slingshot Corrections.
Also an updated code on the Fleep sound package.
I baked the playfield shadows, sidewalls and custom blades, backpanel, all plastics and all ramps.
And I have added new lightbulbs on the backpanel provided by the VLM Library.
In the end a very satisfying result and once again I raised the bar and I am a big step closer to forfilling my ambition to do a full VLM project in the future!

v.2.3:
I included an extra option for people suffering from issues with anaglyph 3d and headtracking.
A lot of options deal with reflections, like a new option to have the backglass reflect on the playfield wich will work in all formats.
When I have PWM plus refractions plus reflections enabled on the table people in VR will see black holes/blobs inside the lights.
So I added an extra ini file for VR to deal with all of this straight out of the box.
Just add it in and you are good to go!
These options will help taking those away but feel free to try them out when you like. I just disabled them inside that ini file for VR.

Support for the Legends Cabinets.
You can use the option to enable the Legends Cabinet setting to use the bigger sideblade option and a second ini file has been added to make it fit.
This ini file is only needed if you want to use this option.
I do ask in return to not see this being patched even when I release it as free to mod.
Feel free to reach out to me instead if you want extra art added (real art only available on a real table).
If somebody would ignore this I would be crushed...
