MarkB Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well, aside from my work on Ultimate Rosters over the winter, I debated the idea of doing an update to Waterfront Park. Not only because the original version took so much work (not only from me, but from Sean O as well), but because, at the time, I was tired of stadium modding and didn't have the time as I was spending 10 and a half hours each day out of the house at work. Well, that's since stopped (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing) and as I reviewed the changes to Waterfront Park on the Thunder website, I discovered that not too much had changed, so I will be making an update, and all around upgrade as well, to Waterfront Park. I actually started around 3 weeks ago and have been making changes off and on since then, so here is a small list of changes so far. Created and added the top of the board in right field. (New for 2006) Created and added the new home run graphic for the jumbotron. Edited the board in right field - updated the player photo and displays. Created and added the Capital Health advertisement to center field. (New for 2006) Created and added a new Verizon Wireless sign to right field. Updated Bank Of America sign in left field. Created and added new Lukoil sign to center field. Adjusted position of advertisements. Created and added new Roma Bank and IBEW advertisements. Updated Capital Health advertisement in center field. There is still a lot to do. Not too much with regard to 2006 updates (advertising updates, things like that), but I want to add some more of the things that didn't make the cut in 2005, such as the Capital Health advertisement in center field and the top of the board in right field. The screenshots below are nowhere near final, so as you can see, there are inaccuracies and things to fix, so consider these betas. On the still-to-do list, I'm hoping to replace those damn light stands with poles if I can ever find a decent graphic for it, I want to move the jumbotron to it's correct position on the right field board and add the left field scoreboard and display to the top of the wall. I'm also hoping to re-do the Thunder and Yankees logos behind home plate to remove the blatantly obvious grass texture as well as adding some real scenery and the "ACME Markets" advertisements to the foul poles. There are various other things, but if I listed everything, you'd fall asleep reading it. I'll post an update at some point, when significantly more is done.

MarkB Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 I've been spending a lot of time on this in the last few days, so here's an update. 6 of the new advertisements for 2006: Updated Remax advertisement with the target and hole (the dark section are the trees behind the sign, the grey is the sky). Recent change list; Moved Lukoil sign and added Saxon Office sign in center field. Created and added new CareOne advertisement in left field. (New for 2006) Added White Eagle Printing advertisement to left field. (New for 2006) Created and added IBEW advertisement to center field. (New for 2006) Created and added new Heath Lumber and M.C.T.S. advertisements to left field. (New for 2006) Updated Budweiser advertisement in right-center field. Updated scoreboard in right field. Created and added Saxon Office advertisement to right-center field. (New for 2006) Updated St. Francis advertisement in left field. Updated Remax advertisement in left field. Created and added Ford City, Trenton Orthopaedic Group, Keller Williams Realty, Heath Lumber, Aztec Graphics and DQ Grill & Chill advertisements. Created and added new Powerade cooler for dugouts. (New for 2006) I've also moved a whole pile of advertisements around to get them closer to their actual position, and it's worked out quite well. The Horizon advertisement is now closer to center field as it should be, the Hess Express advertisement is further away from left field, and the advertisements at the top of the wall are now accurate. The left field board is almost done now, with only RAI and a Mannino's 3 advertisements to add, as well as one other that I haven't figured out yet. After that, I might focus on the stands a little more and try to get some more realism from the restaurant, concourse, press boxes and maybe the bar & grills on the 1st and 3rd base stands. I also still need to move the jumbotron to it's correct position and add the new scoreboard and video board to the top of the left field wall. Once the wall is done, expect more screenshots. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 As I'm in a very good mood for various reasons, here's an updated screenshot of the left field wall. As usual, not final, just a rough guide as to how the final will look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
