3-D improvements?

FSUKegman · 03-06-2020, 06:21 AM

I haven't seen any discussions (unless I missed it) on just what exactly was improved on in the 3-D area. Anyone know what 3-D improvements were made for OOTP21? Thanks everyone and have a great Friday!

Better cameras and better animation. They haven't specifically showed off any new animations in stream though

If you watch the trailer you can get a brief glimpse of the new ball chase camera. It's near the beginning.

I am still seeing problems in 20 with 3-D animations. Makes me wonder if they've done anything in 21.

Big 3D in-game improvements!

New in-game camera modes let you ‘follow the ball’ during the action, multiple camera angles are available for pre-pitch, during the pitch, and after the pitch. Dozens of new 3D animations are in place, and the entire 3D gameplay has been smoothed and polished. Plus! We have completely reworked in-game audio for better crowd and ambient noise during games - including ballpark-specific audio customization!

Also, to add to what Bluenoser said, I believe this is a work in progress, pretty much continuously.
So improvements are being made all the time, some little, some less so.

Agreed, 3D, similar to the AI, is something that every year can be refined.

I play-out all of my games and I am certianly going to be trying-out the new camera settings and ball chase features, to give my games more of that *broadcast vibe*; also, it will likely make the 3D easier to follow, but it would be cool to get a bit more info on the improvements while we wait.

Don't think we see anymore footage until the 3 day beta as the next stream is perfect team.

I would assume there will be streamers streaming the beta. For those of us not in the beta.

I wish they would have been able to get some key streamers the an early build of the game so we could have been watching videos all month.

Many streamers specialize in Indy and early build games so use to unfinished product.

Right, next is PT.

And that is a good point about streamers and other folks who may show-off the 3D for OOTPD.

Either way, it would be good to see more of the 3D improvements.
