Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ A step by step guide to building stadia

I have an Idea,
Can the stadium makers who have been there and done that make a thread which gives a detailed step-by-step guide to building stadia for people who want to build stadia but can't do it yet?

Maybe it should be aimed at people with basic knowledge of Rhino or other 3D modelling software.

I agree with you on that one. It is hard to start if you don't know where.
Also, the toutorials can help you only a bit, and yet there is many things that we might want to do that are not covered by the tutorials.

One helpfull item that is available is $chwenker's "stadionabmessungen.3dm" file, which has the size of the pitch and the addbords.
It's a good starting point, but there should be more to help out with basic stadium making.
I think that if any one has good ideas or tricks they should post them here.

One other item that might be very usefull would be a created 3dm file of a stadium that has been created in rhino and converted into sti. Therefore, people would be able to download this fille (just like stadionabmessungen.3dm) and see how sertan things were created/done in rhino. If anyone wants to volentire their created 3dm, please do so, if not, I will add my Parken once it's done and released.

The Parken one would be great :)

Perhaps someone could offer a relatively simple generic one - like the little German stadium recently added to the site.

Yes. A simple generic one to start with. And then guides to creating other addons, details and customisations.

Four days and not even a response from the bi guys. Maybe all that talk about "We WANT the stadium builders to use our technology" was a load of crap.

shut up of course they want people to build stads, its just hard to explain and it isn't possible to write a 200 page long tutorial :rolleyes:

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Is it too much to ask for an acknowledgement of this idea?

@ a27:

I agree with you 100%, however you must realize that the Stadium builders are not on everyday, and that people do have lives and work and they don't dedicate there entire life to building stadiums.
Be patient, I'm shure some of the big guys will respond soon.

PLuMe

PS: in a meanwhile take a look at this, it's a good pointer.

i acknowledge your idea

"I pardon you".

Stotty, are you one of the big stadium builders then?

I think he is but not sure - Schwenker's the first one that springs to mind, RealPete the second, and I believe there's others out there I can't think of, of whom Stotty must be one.

Im working on something similar over on the total club manager forums im a complete novice at sti stadium building but hopefully eventually this thread could help people :)

My Sti Stadium Thread

A thousand blessings on your head, you're doing your bit to make the world a better place.
Tell us when it's complete will you?

Well it could be a while but as soon as it complete i'll let you's all know ;)

The thread is well worth keeping an eye on. He's designing a small stadium in Scotland as an example, and it looks as though that matches most people's ideas of what to do with their new-found prowess with sti design once they have it :)

Ok, it seams like no one seems to want to help us out :(
So I will try to help out with whatever I can. I'm no expert on stadium building but I will try with whatever knowladge I have, at the same time if any one wants to jump in and help out fell free.

BTW, I wont do a huge stadium to much work <_< , so let's do a small stadia.
If anyone wants to host this file and textures let me know that way you can see the work in progres.

First, let's get a stadium templatre. There are few available, but lets get the new one from: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lu.idf/Stadium%20template.zip

Now, where do we start???
Well first deside what u want to build first. I will start of by starting to build a concrete floor.

First you make a single mesh. How? Look here: http://www.totalclubmanager.com/forum/view...=24692&start=12

Next you add texture to this mesh.
Select Objects Properties the green, blue and red cirle above Prospective view. Click on the arow by object and select Material. in assing by click on basic and go to Texture bitmap.
Chose your texture.

it should look like this:

Next we are going to put that mesh on an engle.

Highlight the mesh and go to front view and press Rotate 2-d button

(IMG:http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/1993/st3.jpg)

point to one end of the mesh (the first point wont move) and the second to the the other end, now move the end to a desired height.

(IMG:http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/700/676.jpg)

next I'm gona add a small base to the stadium and rais the floor.

create a new mesh, but this time in Right view

(IMG:http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/7832/715.jpg)

add texture, and move the mesh so it is at the begining of the angled mesh, move the angled mesh up anf it should look like this.

next wee will add a fence.

Go to right view and create a new mesh and add texture. I will also add a bend to the fence by creating a small mesh(same steps as adding angle to the floor).

PS: you can add transperance to the textures by clicking Objects Properties & in transperancy I added 50.

next in top view we will highlight all meshes made up to this point.

and we will start copying the same group of selected meshes to make a long stand.

click on copy (IMG:http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5166/495.jpg)

point on the mesh and start copying till you are satisfied with the result.

(IMG:http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/3897/697.jpg)

do the entire stand
