Personally, I am not fond of the wood grain although I am not sure how Alex is going to use this. It might work best to make the background transparent. Is that what you want Alex?

le g est peut- être de trop , la bille et le flipper en mode miroir horizontal sous la bille , pourrait à eux seul le suggérer et remplir le vide entre la bille et le P.
la bille est trop synthétique (elle ressemble plus à une perle qu'une bille d'acier) , l’étoile trop clinquante sur une texture qui ne la justifie pas (car non émaillée,métallisée..), pourrait être supprimée aussi.

je verrai bien le mot pinball enveloppant la bille , avec le flip en dessous (façon anneaux de Saturne).
et comme le site est international , pinball tournant autour de la bille en gif
pourquoi n'essayez vous pas avec aurora , soft très puissant spécialisé pour cette fonction ? il est gratuit (du moins les 10 premiers jours d'essai).

More shinny

If I remove the wood I think I cant get the reflection efect unleass I do on a black surface and thelete the black, going to try later.

Here is a explanation of the scene, so if there any suggestion


If any are interested in the blender file to play aroun PM me

Dear Francisco,
feels like a decade. Glad you are still with the community!
Greetings way South! Hope you are doing fine!

I suppose we can use this one if we need a transparent background since it is already set up that way:



On this one, I was thinking it would look best if the ball trail ran behind the text "pinball"; maybe without the wood. You might need to move the flipper down since it wouldn't look right if the ball trail ran underneath it.

Sorry for the delay on this

Tell me if this what you have in mind
Wood + path


No Wood + path + refraction


Path


Path 30% opacy, I think that the others look to much grey in black back



Ps. I think I miss the ball refraction hehehe , Im geting confused with so many files
Edit: Also the path can be in gradient from left to right

Sorry guys, this site loads slow enough as it is, especially on my mobile phone and tablet. Having a custom full sized bg image is a bit much. PN loads very fast because the main image is centered, and the background is loaded in as a 1px width repeatable tile.

Honestly, I like the style of the letterheads that's used, complete with the old fashion bumper. But if I was redesigning a site, I would have the logo match the word "future" in future pinball, and I am partial to having good looking women as my main image, hence the way PN is done. I would use a very pinball font, and have as the main image something from say bride of pinbot (the bride), with a simple fluid bg. This would match what FP is (suppose) to mean.

I think the understated approach of the last one is the best.

Blue, I think the old flash video requires quite a bit of bandwidth to load but I don't think a single image will be too much.

I too prefer the last one
