I've been adjusting the screens since we got 3d stadiums. But the true game changer here is the removal of the widgets during play. The ability to see full screen versions of these beautiful parks is just amazing!

Okay, I admit defeat. I finally figured out how to access (and save) different camera angles, but I can't for the life of me figure out how you all change the size of players on the field.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Go to File/Settings and select 3D & FaceGen. Then change the Player Model Scale.

Thanks Dark Horse.
I had just finally stumbled upon the thread here that showed me how, and was able to find it but I appreciate you coming so quickly to my aid.
I'm still pretty much a newbie and very much appreciate how helpful this community is.

I've set three views in Modern 3D, Zoom (behind the plate)
1st Base Line, and 3rd Base line (both not far above field level.) I am really enjoying switching to a different view every inning during game play I found it much easier to create these custom views when you do the camera editing with the grid lines visible.

Overall, fantastic improvement in the enjoyment factor of watching game play and yes the ability to evaporate the widgets before the pitcher throws the pitch is a major major plus.

Has anyone tried to do a dugout view, to get a managers perspective? or something close to it? if so, please post a pic

Soonerborn59 · 03-21-2018, 12:29 AM

I am pretty new to the game and have only dabbled around with it in the past. Could someone direct me on how to change the camera angles in the game. I already set the players size to 170 and that view is good but I would like to be able to set up the different angles. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

LloydLungs · 03-21-2018, 04:37 PM

I'm thinking that the next major step for OOTP graphics would have to be the ability to follow the ball. Some of these zoomed in and angled views are fantastic, but are limited because if part of the field is obscured, you're screwed if a ball is hit there. An automatic pan depending on where the ball is hit would be amazing.

I remember with High Heat way back in the early 2000s I used to "find a seat" in the stadium, park myself there, and watch the ballgame. Sometimes in stadiums I had actually been to, I would mimic the view from where I had actually sat. I'd go sit in the right field bleachers at Wrigley. It was so cool. It's possible I am a nerd.

OOTP 20 maybe? Crossing my fingers.

Go to your team, then team settings, then in the top right, there is a button that says "Edit Ballpark"
From there, go to 3D Model
Then mess around with the "Y" button and "Z" button (not the ones near the top, but the ones near the bottom)

I can't get over how amazing these parks look. It's like actually being there.

Wow! If the guys at OOTP ever get around to including a menu to toggle camera angles in-game, that would be awesome!

Matt Uk · 03-22-2018, 05:02 PM

1) Blimp (surprisingly quite good fun to watch even though a bit far away)

2) Dugout

Rosco Peabody · 03-22-2018, 05:11 PM

My saved camera views are gone after downloading the latest patch

Matt Uk · 03-22-2018, 05:38 PM

Yeah, I forgot about that as well! The file you need to copy is in the ballparks/models/ (Stadium name) folder and it's the one that ends .ootp3d with the stadium name as the file name. Copy that and overwrite the new one after installing a new update/patch

RMc · 03-22-2018, 06:31 PM

How do you do this? I had no idea you could do this!

Grafton19 · 03-22-2018, 07:20 PM

How do I shrink the screen so I can get expanded stats on the screen with it being bunched up?

B1gpupp · 03-22-2018, 10:36 PM

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. Didn't really know this was a possibility and it's a game changer for me. Game looked good before, but looks amazing now.

Peregrine · 03-23-2018, 12:17 AM

I love this beautiful thread - neat ideas!

I've tried to find this but I'm playing a Historical mode World Series. Can't find any reference in any setting that has Edit Ballpark. Is this only available when setting up a year long season?

Thanks
