Nielsoncp's Ballpark Concepts and 3D Models

[nielsoncp]

Surf Stadium is a small, indy-league stadium that's built next to an airstrip and has been mostly closed for more than a decade now. I decided to transport the Boardwalk Hall to right field and added another yellow brick building in left - and put a neon sign close to center. The stadium is relatively small, so there are high home run numbers and lower batting average/double/triple numbers.

Thanks but I fixed it myself. Was a good exercise. I did test your updated version and it's fine as well. However, I did find another problem field...

Chickasaw Bricktown...When you upload the .prk file the nightime pic is of the old version, and the 3D stadium has no animations and these large white 1-2-3 numbers on the crowd. I fixed this park as well by re-objexporting the Sketchup model and adding the animations codes to the MTL file.

I can upload a new prk here if you wish.

Boy, you think for the money we paid for these mods, you'd get error free product...

Yeah, you can take it up with the board of directors. I think the Chickasaw Bricktown one was modded to have colored seats - there's been a delay in getting that released outside of the beta, so I can fix that. Let me know the other errors you see as you go.

Dehler Park is the home of the Billings Mustangs and a generally pretty large stadium. I decided to bring in a few mountain features to the batters eye, along with an older brick building in right. The park itself is pretty sizeable and at elevation, so it plays into batters hands.

As a side note, that is the end of the new stadiums for now. I have been going back through some of my old ones and doing some minor upgrades (adding day and night textures, improving the templates for dugouts and banners, changing some of the features outside of the parks.) I'm going to post the udpated pictures over the next couple of weeks.

Terrific, as always. Thanks.

Since I started making stadiums there were a few things I learned (day/night textures, new backgrounds, higher quality banners, etc.), so I decided to go back and redo a bunch of my older stadiums. The first one I want to release is Scotiabank Field in Vancouver. The old background was kind of distorted, so I decided t relocate and it is a retractable roof stadium, so I thought it would be fun to actually make a closed option too. The new models are pictured below:

Next up is HEB Field in San Antonio. It's kind of the same deal as Scotiabank Field - since it's a retractable roof stadium I made a roof covered and roof uncovered option, along with upgrading textures and creating a unified brand based on Low's logos.

Louisville Slugger Field was one of the first five or so stadiums I did, and when I dug into the old sketchup model... it showed. There was a pretty extensive reworking of the outfield, including changing fence heighs and types, putting the stadium name on the scoreboard, and adding a riverboat (a la Great American Ballpark) in left center.

Unfortunately there are no animations and there are big white numbers in the crowds. MTL file is no good.

Can you let me me know which version of 21 you're on? (If you're on 21). It's loading fine for me in game, so it's helpful to know which version you're using.

I'm on the oldest version of 21...version 20...I guess that's the problem then...

I got it to work, I just edited the MTL file.

Disregard, there's something wonky with my unzip file, it didn't unzip the new MTL file...

Got it - so it's good to know we need to make these backwards compatible. I have a workaround that I'll incorporate going forward. Thanks for looping me in Grumpy!

If you've been around for a while, you may remember this...



turned into this



which left me feeling like this



I've learned over the last couple of months that the best way to address this is just inserting a picture, so centerfield now looks like this:



Much better



I also put in a .mtl file with blue seats in the ootp21 file - if you want to use that just copy and paste it into the main folder.

Works great!

The big change for Dunkin Donuts Park (along with a number of these remodels) was building out the cityscape around the park. I also added a Dunkin Donuts sign in right and tweaked a few textures and videoboards. There's also a .mtl file with blue seats in it if you have OOTP 21.

Also, this is a quick redesign I did last night for the Portland Pioneers thread in the logos forum.

Thanks Grumpy. It should be fixed now.
