NYM Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Can you guys give me a couple of prgrams I can use, because unlike you guys I'm drawing mine by hand. Anything thats simple where I could get the hang of the program within a couple hours. BTW: If you haven't seen the update, the stadium deadline is September 12.

abc006 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I use google sketchup, it's free, easy to get a hand of, and has some good results. However, some things are a bit tricky to do - it's hard getting exact measurements (my mound if 6'4" 1/2 inches from home plate, don't ask), it's annoying trying to get a good incline, details aren't that easy... but you're not really going to find anything better 3d program-wise for that price. I actually started some rough sketches by hand, but I realized A) I'm a bad drawer, I don't have the patience for all those exact measurements, and C) It's hard to get something down on paper that you would be able to look around at 360 degrees... so that's why I went to sketchup.

wrigleyville33 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 hey hiheat, what program are you using? how can you add the little stuff... like restaraunts, adds, and other stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiheat32 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 hey hiheat, what program are you using? how can you add the little stuff... like restaraunts, adds, and other stuff? its some program called chief architect that we had lying around the house. its a program that is really used to design houses and i think its pretty expensive, but im not positive i can add a picture as a texture to make adds, windows, tvs, seats, etc the program also has objects such as chairs, tables, and other house stuff.

NYM Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 For everyone entering, please note that you must follow MLB dimension rules. I believe its 320 being the minimum distance from homeplate to the wall. The stadiums will be judged on location, design, creativity, and seating(no blocked views or impossible seating designs). If you have anything else to add please do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have anything else to add please do so. It is 320' unless there is a high wall to compensate, or if the commissioner signs off on it. There is virtually no chance the commish would ever sign off on something less than 302' at this point. This is important since new Yankee's dimensions do not fulfill the requirements. They've been grandfathered in due to history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Ok, in this contest then you cannot have a wall less than 300 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 i tried Autodesk Maya but it requires all of this information and it isn worth it... Yeah, I have a leg up on this program because I have been using it for school for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Well I got most of my stadium done. I've decided drawing by hand is best because I'll get more out of it with details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Heres a preview of Left Field. Sorry for the picture quality.

Padday Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 This isn't my design, but it's just an example of what can be achieved with Google Sketchup if you have the skill, and more importantly, the patience. Man, I wish mine was as good as that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryrat Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hey Philly, I love the concept behind your signature. It is very unique and creative. I just felt the need to say that, I know this isn't the proper thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorQuiz Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Guess HoK won't be entering anything then. Dang... HoK is gonna need some cream for that burn! You sure do hate all the latest stadiums, SeanO. I know it all comes down to a matter of opinion... but dang... is there any stadium built and/or designed in the last 20 years that you DON'T hate?

I know it all comes down to a matter of opinion... but dang... is there any stadium built and/or designed in the last 20 years that you DON'T hate? It's not that I hate HoK stadiums, it's just that they're lazy. I can have a grand time at CBP, and realize it's a fun place to watch a game, but that doesn't mean the park is interesting or well designed. There's a big difference between hating to be at a venue (the old Foxboro, Anaheim pre-renovation) and thinking it's a design without some fundamental design issues. It's about creating a park that will look as good now as it does in 2040, which HoK projects completely ignore. Anyone can take what's popular and make a building beloved today, but shortsighted designers end up with Boston City Hall and Shea Stadium.
