MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 My next project is my High-School Field. Once I finish it can be used to replace the BP field, a Spring Training field or whatever. This will always be a WIP, but I'll update as soon as I add each element. Pecking order 1. Dimensions 2. Dugout 3. Scoreboard 4. Bullpens 2. School 3. Basketball, Tennis Courts 4. Parking Lot 5. Football Field 6. Softball Field 7. Other small nitpicky things.

ChicagoCubs720 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Sketchup can be used, but it involves a long process to put it in Zmod, and it's really not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlot Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 That is a beautiful field. I wish I went to school in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wow your outfield is huge. My high school is like 320 down the lines and 400 dead center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 340 down the line 430 center at mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ours is only 315 down the lines, and 351 in center There are higher resolution pics of the pictures if you click on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Alright, I'm about to go in and start deleting all of the stuff that I dont need, such as stands, buildings etc. The only thing I'm keeping is fences, bullpen, dugout, field. Other than that, I'm wiping everything out. Any advice before I finally jump into the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah i wouldn't base that off wrigley. Wrigley is a neighbor hood with ivy walls and yours looks nothing like that. I would base it off something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, use a symmetrical Spring Training Stadium or minor league park it will be a heck of a lot easier to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidCavalier23 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Wow, that must be a nice high school. I though we were lucky in New York just for having artificial turf and a track...Good luck with this bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I just made the dugouts, they actually look alot like the real thing. We have a concreate dugout, with a chain link fence surrounding it, and a dark blue thing on the back. A tin-like roof, and a connected stretch of turf.

wrigleyville33 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 May I ask how you did that? lol. I tried zmod and they made it much more complicated then it had to be when it came to shapes. Did you just make the dugout from the stock shape tools in zmod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it will be fairly simple to do the field, and as I get more experienced, I'll be able to do the more complex stuff. I think I'll base it off of Wrigley. What school do you go to? LOL when i saw the title for the thread i thought i was gonna see a picture of Columbus' stadium, which is sick, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 How would I go about editing dimensions? Is there some kind of ruler or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah lol I couldn't figure that out either. I pm'ed rolie about it awhile back, and I deleted his answer so you might want to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 in the video tutorial it says that you do the wall.dat the same as he did the coll.dat in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I mean the actual walls, the physical walls that you see. I'm asking if there's some kind of ruler that you can use that tells you how far something is from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking if there's some kind of ruler that you can use that tells you how far something is from home. MVP sees everything in inches. So, when you load up oedit or whatever, it will be 12 * the number you want in feet. As an example, a 300' LF line will be 3600, y, 0, since oedit also mirrors everything, and a 400' center field fence will be 2x^2 = (400 * 12) ^2 (with x being the center field coordinates for x and z), or 3395, y, 3395. 315 LF/RF walls = 3780 351 CF = 2978, y, 2978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 The stadium I'm basing it off of is aa03. It's 300 down the LF line, but when I go to edit it the original figure for x is -39.159. Shouldn't ti be -100? I'm using Zmod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't gotten an answer yet. ^ Also, our school's getting a new score borad, so I'm holding off until it gets put up in the upcoming weeks.

MarlinsMS_35 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm picking this back up. I've figured out that 7.661 ft =1 zmod unit. Of course, this is a pain to work with. my problem is getting the CF dimensions. I've created a point on the wall that is exactly in CF. My problem is what to make the units for CF. The X and Y will have to be equal, but I don't know what number will work. I can't use the Pythagorean theorem because my field's walls aren't a triangle I think I remember something from geometry that was diagonal*perimeter=area, but I don't know if that's right. So it's a kite. b=315. I don't know what a is, but the diagonal from the left vertex, to the right vertex is 315. I need to find a, and I think I can do this. Any help?

meteamo Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Would this be of any help? http://www.mathopenref.com/kite.html I'll take a look at it myself to see if I can do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
