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.

let's continue with the basic building guides. This time we are going to try to answer a question asked by rabcp:

However, before we start we must do one thing which we should have done before. LAYERS!!!
Layers are important and at the same time help us keep things orginized.
We should have layers for each parts of the stadiums that we build, ie: fance, addbords, seats, roof etc.
To create a layer go to the red, white & blue pie just obove the prospective view

this will open the layers box, asingh desired layers.

I will post the gap in the stands in the next post.

Now that we have layers and we added desireid layers, hide the layers that will be in our way, such as benches, baners etc.
To do that, just click on the lightbulb in the layers box (IMG:http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1830/18s.jpg)

The next step is going to be on how to create an entrance.
The red line will represent where the players will run into the feild so we have to work around that area.
First delite whatever meshes you dont want around the entry point.

and start adding meshes in between the spaces.

and this is what I've got in the end

it might be nice, if you were to write this in a html file which we could put up for downloading :)

maybe i can sort of include it in the next version of sb as an "alternative" tutorial section, or add it onto the one in there, if there is a new version of sb.

Only if u want to tho :)

I have converted the small stadium to make a test to see how it looks in the game, here are the results:


before the whisle..................so far so good :rolleyes:

.................S%*T!!!

I GIVE UP!!!

Maybe it's my Stadium Builder? anyone has newer version other then 1.2

Sent me the 3DM file plume.
I'm quite sure its not SB but your 3DM.

Pete

Its on it's way.

Tnx Pete.

PS: As far as I know I did everything right. But there's got to be something that I'mdoing wrong.

PluMe:
Try with Rhino:
edit / select objects / duplcate objects ...

Another way...
Have installed "Rhino 3.0 Service Release 3b SR3b" ?..

PluMe does your PC slow down after a while when building your stadium, I dont do your method, when I try to build, it takes up all the resources up. It takes very long to zoom.

Hou can you get meshes transparant, like fences.

Help !!

you can add transperance to the textures by clicking Objects Properties & in transperancy I added 50. however, this makes no diference, cause later on in stadium importing the transparency will be added in the fsh8 file.

nice to see you have 3 ecp internet explorer windows opened :D

lol

@ scotty and hercules:

If I can get the problem resolved with the bomb efect thet I will, you can then download it or do whatever u wish. I will also incude the 3dm file as well

The Fences are black and the background is white is that oke, or else gif me your texture of a fence. So i can see how it must be done

This is my project.

It's from a dutch second division team BVO Emmen.

On the adboards ( Doeland) there must come some fences

That looks good :)

I'll send ya the texture in a bit (I'm at work now :rolleyes: )

CeeBee

let me know if you need more or if you need them in diferent colours

PLuMe

Thanks M8!

But can you help how to import it to FIFA, Now someone else is helping me to import it and i want to know how to do it :lol:

@ CeeBee:

I would love to help you out but I can't :( . Take a look at my earlier threads and see what hapens when I import them to fifa. Till I figure out what is wrong with my stadium builder or packer (rhino is aparently ok), I won't do any more.
