Wrigley Field update 2007

Recommended Posts

It will be a while until I get to this (I have to finish the Legends Field bullpen cams, the Oakland Colisseum cams, Comiskey Park, and a ton of cyberfaces first), but I thought I'd post this now to encourage people to find some good pics or take photos if they go to the game.

Here are some planned changes:

-revamping of day version skyline

-modification of the CF batter's eye (I didn't get it perfect last year)

-redoing the concourse fencing (it's not very good right now)

-fixing EA's crappy mapping job of the dugouts (so I can put in advertisements there) and some of the bricks in RF

-addition of Under Armour ads in outfield (I need pics for that or I can always just create one myself)

-redoing RF knothole (I need a photo for this)

I would also like to include Trues/Big O's field changer mod

This is excellent news. I was planning on doing this but I'm so backed up now with overlays and other things that I'm afraid I'd never get to it.

I do have some updated field textures though (especially the dirt) if you want them.

If you want to get super hardcore, take a few free polygons and build the skyscrapers in the background. Shouldn't be too difficult, and depth always adds to the game.

EA got most of the important skyscrapers in 3D, put I might add a few more

I'd love some new field textures. Speaking of the field, I also might try to change the shape of the dirt area around homeplate to more closely resemble Wrigley Field (Cubs fans, I'm sure you know what I mean)

btw, I just found a couple of photos I collected after I released Wrigley '06, which should help me a lot

OK, it's time.

I have been working on a classic version of Comiskey Park, but it really hasn't been going anywhere and I've gotten little accomplished. In a couple days, I will attach it in some thread for some classics enthusiast to take over.

As for Wrigley, Big O's newest version of Oriole Park has inspired me to make many improvements, too many to list right now. I've searched through 2,000+ pictures on flickr, and I have everything I need.

I have two finals tomorrow, and then school is completely over ( :party2: ). After that, I have about a week and a half before I go to Washington DC for some leadership conference thing for 10 days. My goal is to get at least one update out before I leave.

Hopefully by tonight, I will have a preview pic of something to show you.

About how much have you gotten done, CC?

I'm going to the game tomorrow night if you need some good nighttime Wrigley pics.

that would be great! Here are a couple things that could help me:

-scoreboard

-under armour ads

-knothole

*if you can, could you possibly wait until the sun sets to get these pics? Also, could you try to figure out for me what those advertisements on the tarp say?

thanks so much for your help, I hope that's not to much to ask for :smile:

Any pics available yet!!! The anticipation is killing me.

today has been quite an eventful day, I first had two finals to take in the morning, and then left to go somewhere. My car then refused to start again, so I was stuck. On top of that, I got bitched at by the little league director because I had to find someone to ump my game for me at the last minute.

I just got home, but I'll see if I can get anything worth showing you done.

I have little to show you after my hours of work:

I won't even bother showing you the knothole. I redid it but my texture turned out to be crap. The batter's eye is in shambles right now, largely because EA used about 50 million vertices on the part I was using to rebuild the walkway above the eye. It was impossible to map the texture so I'm searching for some other piece to use.

holy moley that ivy looks superb! Lemme know if you help on the 2d crowd. I redid the DS crowds with new textures and actual seats. Looks pretty good or at least as much possible working with 2D stuff.

I've spent the past two days completely redoing the CF batter's eye. I think it looks a lot more realistic than last year's version:

a couple textures need their brightness/contrast and color adjusted. The camera shed took an incredible amount of time to create. All I need to do now is resize it a little and move it a tad.
