3D Cameras TV style broadcast

MizzouRah · 06-23-2020, 12:12 PM

I thought I would share how I have my 3D cameras setup as well as my 3D settings. The cameras were made by another beta tester who allowed me to share his file. There are many cameras to choose from, so play around with them and use the ones you like best!

(the instructions are for the Steam version of the game)

Get the file here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/auqndx..._v1_4.zip/file

Unzip the folder "Angel_Stadium_1979-1999_v1_4 to your models folder located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Out of the Park Baseball 21\data\ballparks\models

Open up your OOTP 21 game and then go to your team home page, click on settings then on the right of the screen click on Edit Ballpark.

Now at the top click on 3D Model. On the right hand side should be another window that has coordinates and all that for your ballpark.

Click on "Copy cameras from park" and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Out of the Park Baseball 21\data\ballparks\models\Angel_Stadium_1979-1999_v1_4

Once you are there click on the Angel_Stadium_1979.ootp3d file and then click "select" at the bottom. This should load all the cameras into your stadium. You can check by clicking on the down arrow under Edit Camera Views - Current View: (should say default)

Now click on the "Save Cam" button and give it a name. Once that's done you can click on "Copy cameras to all parks". This should save them all to every park in your league. (this step was a bit tricky for me) You can check to make sure they saved by going back to your team home screen and then back into the 3D model screen and clicking on the down arrow to see if all the cameras in the screenshot above show up.

My personal settings for 3D

File -> Settings -> 3D & Facegen tab
Note the two important settings in red to help the animations play much smoother, at least for me. (I do have an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super video card so you might have to mess with the Audience Detail and Audience Quality as well)

In game settings

** If you find something that isn't clear or find better settings, please reply! This has really immersed me into the 3D gameplay!!
*** Make sure to backup your files and settings in case you run into issues, I am by no means an expert, basically use at your own risk!

IN GAME SCREENSHOT (my favorite is the close up trot around the bases on a HR):

Not the point, I know, but did that throw to first, result in an error and/or injury?

LOL! No he turned around in time. The close plays at first with the pitcher covering need some serious work.

(I'll replace that screenshot as it looks awkward)

Overall though, most of the closeups look great compared to me watching from the wide default camera.

Tremendous! I installed this and it is a great addition to watching the games live. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting and I'm glad it worked!

MizzouRah · 06-24-2020, 11:45 PM

Also try this:

Initial/Pitch/Action cameras all set to: wide_low
Camera Movement Speed: 30
Zoom Factor: 20
3D Animation Speed: Slightly fast

beepollen · 06-27-2020, 05:27 PM

MizzouRah, this is fantastic!

If nothing else, your suggested set-up eliminated one of my biggest complaints about the animation: the stuttering of a ball in motion. Sooooo annoying.

Once you are there click on the Angel_Stadium_1979.ootp3d file and then click "select" at the bottom. This should load all the cameras into your stadium. You can check by clicking on the down arrow under Edit Camera Viewscsnaptube word to pdf vidmate - Current View: (should say default)

darthmauldds · 07-25-2020, 12:53 PM

Sorry if i'm missing the obvious, but i do not see in your settings when you actually use the Angel_Stadium_1979-1999_v1_4 cam.
If you mean that all of these views are added options, it works great!
So either i understand you perfectly or i am really missing something.

Your camera set is my GO TO option when I check out my skyboxes. Thanks!!!

Will this only work on the Steam version of OOTP?

I have the regular PC version and it works for me. Are you on PC or Mac?

SirSaab · 12-20-2020, 05:56 PM

These cameras are freaking SWEET!

I’m personally playing initial wide-low, pitch wide-low, and action wide, with only a zoom factor of 5 (I play home games in Omnibus Park from the ballpark mods, and it’s so huge that I miss action if I play a higher zoom).

Animations are accelerated, and crowd detail is high, and oh man, these look SO GOOD! I’d like to play with perhaps a bit more of a broadcast-style zoom for initial/pitch cams, but I find the transition from those to action wide is a bit jarring for my eyeballs LOL.

Pretty as all get-out though! Thank you for taking the in-game enjoyment factor up to 11! (Now if there were only mods for player numbers on the back of jerseys!)

ChrisBarrett68 · 06-08-2024, 10:07 AM

That dark green grass looks great. Do you have a custom ground.webp file or can you adjust the shade in settings?

mytreds · 06-10-2024, 01:23 AM

The images used to help with 3D are unavailable. I hope they can be redone so we can use them again.
