AGS Stadiums Thread

[scba 179]

Brand new thread for the AGS Stadium gallery...

I think I've turned over a new leaf, and rounded the bend that'll launch me into 4th Gen BATs, where I can start to make actual places. The pressure of doing so with no bat skills was too much before, but I'm starting to get it down. As new fields are under construction or made, I'll post them here. And if you have any requests for easy, small-ish fields, I'll consider them. I don't think I'm ready for a premier league, NFL, or MLB sized venue, so please don't demand any great wonders.

Any titles without links lead to broken files, which are either already locked, or should be.

4th Gen - Full understanding of the BAT, complete textures

Miner Memorial Field (Baseball) 

Kite Park (Baseball) {Construction\Shelved}

Flag River Stadium (Baseball)

Grapefruit Stadium (Baseball)

Olympic Baseball Stadium (Baseball)

3rd Gen - Partial understanding. Textures not up to par, buildings blocky, lots of fillers

Orange Hill Stadium (Soccer/Football)

Yellowbrick Road (Soccer/Football)

Delmarva Stadium (Lacrosse)

Horseshoes Horseshoe (...Horseshoes)

Olympic Tennis Center (Tennis)

Dixie Stadium (Football/Gridiron)

Northern Electric Field (Baseball configuration)

Arbordale Baseball Stadium (Baseball)

Honeybee Field (Softball)

American Exhibition Stadium (Multi)

Greenwood Stadium (Softball)

Royal Garden Courts (Tennis)

2nd Gen - BATed one piece at a time and assembled in the LE. Choppy, off-scale, and full of errors and value uh-ohs.

Pesapallo Stadium (Finnish Baseball)

Windeyo Baseball Stadium (Baseball)

Oeleanna Stadium (Soccer/Football)

Azusea Stadium (Soccer/Football)

USC (Sim City) Football Stadium (Football/Gridiron)

Lacrosse Stadium (Lacrosse) 

Pineapple Park (Baseball)

BSU Bronco Stadium (Football/Gridiron)

Pizza Hut Park (Soccer/Football)

1st Gen - Maxis props only, lots of dependency issues. Dismal, looking back now. 

This is pretty much the cream of the crop, I'm not even going to put pictures of the other ones.

Whew. Glad those days are done with - even if they are less than two years old!

Lol, wow, I'd known you'd done lots of good stadiums (many of which I use), but I hadn't known there were so many. Nice stuff.

[giorgos69 52]

I reckon they will look alot better with less saturated seating.

[andrew_kara 0]

How about a cricket ground?

[lrfox 2]

you've improved a lot. if you want requests, i'll request McCoy Stadium, home of the Pawtucket Red Sox (AAA). 

here is a link to the website that has dimensions- http://pawsox.com/stadium/?pawsox_session=7b19acd4694cfeb33c2526d42c4ea047

and here are some pics-

in any case, keep it up, i use all of your most recent stadiums in my small/ medium sized cities.

[scba 179]

Ol' McCoy is definitely do-able for me. The main bowl looks a lot like the one I just released, an nothing in it seems too complex. Great idea.

[lrfox 2]

Haha thanks. i'm not expecting anything, but just throwing it out there, it'd be nice to see. if you do decide to do it, then awesome, if not, then i'm sure whatever you come out w/ next will be just as good if not better.

[AfroThunda 1]

I have always liked your stadiums and you bring a lot to the game. I think that I have at least one of your lots in every city I make!

i was thinking that there should be a major legue park besides the standard maxis one. i was hoping if its possible that you can create AT&T Park Home of the San Francisco Giants.

THANKS! this maybe quite a challenge but it will be useful for my San Francisco recreation.

[scba 179]

Like I said, I doubt that I can make an MLB park.

[skyliner22 16]

well if ud like to give a try theres a challenge u never know what u can do unless u try..

for a smallish field quite advanced u can attempt raley field home of the sacramento river cats AAA (A's), that way u can make ur way up to the big parks.

One problem with a lot of newer baseball fields, in every league, is that they are built below street level. I don't know how to get around that.

[ACEfanatic 7]

^BAT it sunken? So long as you cut the LOD's correctly, it shouldn't be an issue...

-ACE

[scba 179]

I don't do LODs.

[yoder7652 21]

Custom LODs are easy enough...but all you really need to do is bat the building sunken and then make even a sidewalk or a small stretch of grass around the sides at street level and it will work for you....and you can do regular LODs.

[scba 179]

Lacrosse field ended up okay, but not great, so I didn't classify it at the highest level. But that's alright. The BAT needs more fields that aren't blockbusters.

I'm really not sure what the next project is gonna be; might re-do Pizza Hut Park.

[scba 179]

Still not sure what's going on. I designed, modeled, and exported the Horseshoe in less than an hour, so that was a little spotaneous thing.

[scba 179]

My next project is a series of soccer/football fields. One European, and one American.

ie, one aesthetically pleasing...and one european field. Seriously, I know you guys need the big rooves, but add a little light somewhere every now and then.

[scba 179]

The Phase Two field is looking great, but just taking forever to accomplish anything due to the load and lag. I've got twenty rows of seats encompassing the ENTIRE field, so the rate is turning sluggish.

[iDavid 2]

Build some American Football stadium's, we only have a few good ones.

[scba 179]

I tried to take a screenshot as I did a test export, but took it at exactly the wrong second. Oops.

>

The seats are orange.

[gerAndi 29]

looks good

maybe you could bat a new soccer stadium?? we need more soccer stadiums...

[scba 179]

^ That IS a soccer stadium, actually.

[scba 179]

The seating and shell of the stadium is complete. Might copy that stand on the small side and add it to the ends as well, if I feel like it.

>

Wish it wouldn't keep coming out like that. Still have to complete supports for the other two ends of the seats, and create the buildings under the main stand, which I'm dreading with the lag as bad as it is already.

[scba 179]

Well, I'm done. All of the glass I used for the luxury boxes and the exterior building turned out to be crap, but the boxes are under cover, and I'm putting trees around the building, so it doesn't really matter The thing was just too big to edit down any more.

[scba 179]

Honestly, is anyone even reading this? Anyway, all my recent uploads have bombed pretty badly, and I'm low on feasible ideas for a moment, so I'm gonna take a break for a bit.

[coultharda 135]

I read this . I like to see what other stadium makers are doing.

And I wouldn't say your last upload bombed at all. I mean, if you got the lines on the pitch worked out, and maybe a better texture on it, it would be a 10.

Perhaps you could do an athletics stadium in a similar style to your last football one? Or will the polys kill you? Or maybe alter on of your models to be an American Football field. The community is crying out for those.

Just some ideas, since you said you had none .

[scba 179]

I'd like to do more football fields, but I'm awful at making textures for them. One of my goals is to make fields for almost every sport, which I'm slowly progressing through, so I want to do a CFL-style, Canadian Football field before I do another American one. Differences are pretty subtle, but I think Canadians will like that.

[coultharda 135]

Are your fields complete textures then? 'Cause I find it easiest just to have a grass textured rectangle, then use the line and circle tools in BAT to make the pitch markings. I dunno how complicated American/Canadian Football markings are though.
