I thought that might be better, because of people voting for themself ect. I didnt really decide that. After I know who has entered I will ask a few people to judge with me.
If we did still do voting, is it possible to see who has voted and who hasn't out of the people that have entered? I have never set up a poll on here before.

You dont need it cyprus colors, you could have it the colours to the team that will play there after or something, or the city colours. You dont see new english stadiums with reda d white seats beause they are english. Anyway, I think cyprus' colours are White, Gold and Blue for their national team.

Cyrpus's national colours are blue and white

Could just have a points system.

Where each person that votes has a 1st chooice who gets 5 points, a 2nd choice who gets 3 points and a 3rd place who gets 1 point?

If I picked some judges, it would work something like that. It wouldnt work if everyone voted like that, they'd have to send their top 3 votes to me or something and people who entered couldnt vote, itd just be easier if i picked a few judges. Ill sort that out in the next week or so.

Make them into a presentation, and either display them here and I will transfer them to another thread later or if you'd prefer send the presentation to me if you dont want people to see it yet. The presentation should just be the pictures, and a description of where the stadium is located and how it can be used in the future ect. It should also have a map showing its location.

Is anyone else doing an athletic stadium?

no :P

I found myself a kushtie little spot by a harbour with a viable future tenant too . Gunna have 3 stands (one side is open) so that there is views over the Harbour and Sea.
Currently made all 3 stands, with seats and stairways/entrances on the 2 smaller side stands. I've still got to figure out how I'm going to configure the main stand, taking into account the requirements of VIPs, press, and so on and also still need to do the exterior and the unique roof structure. I'm hardly home for next few days, then going away for a week, so I've only actually got one day where I can do it -.- talk about making it hard for myself, especially considering I've never actually made a stadium in full detail.

The one thing I'm really worried about is my computer performance. I have 4800 seats so far and my computer is really struggling.. still got another 7000 to add.

My stadium has rounded stands and could probably fit a track for later use but as of right now it only as soccer

Question: Are you putting actual seats in your stadium?, because i dont have the time to put in every seat so i did fake seating

This is where I am at the moment

If you havent already, start using layers. This way you only need to see what you are acctualy building, or putting seats into, at the time not all the time incresing computer performance. When you come to render it, just show the layers of what you are rendering, for example turn off seats and the entire east stand if you are rendering the west stand facade. When you do an ariel shot with everything in, turn off seats if you have to.

Me too. But I have just done the track and one stand. My stadium is going to be something like 5000 seats and I add some temporary seating and the capacity will be something between 8-10k.

looks beaut. I see you have the 'woven' wrap going round the outside.. I was going to have something similar but I'll do something slightly different now, don't wanna look like im copying :P

Well I haven't specifically be doing layers, I've been using components though and hiding them (which does a similar job I think).. had a minor setback this morning when I had the seats hidden then moved the stadium, switched the seats back on and they were no longer in the stadium. Rookie mistake. It wasn't really building it I was worrying about, it was unhiding everything to take the final shots, so thanks for the idea about hiding what's not in view when doing my final shots, it should mean I'm ok

Here's a preview of my stadium so far


It doesn't really provide you with an insight on any of the aesthetical/exterior/roof features, but it shows the location and shape That's a harbour btw if you were wondering
10200 seats so far. Filling in the middle of the Main Stand (VIP & Press) should lift it up to around 11000 overall.

How did you put the seats in in a timely matter with the curved stands of your stadium?

BTW stadium looks great

great minds etc etc

Also kaz, if you make a curve in sketchup, it is actually made up of straight lines (typically 12). So when you make a big curve like this where it's probably about 100m across, you'll have straight lines of about 10m each.. then you just treat each straight line as a different section and you just put the seats in like you would any other stand.

I have a plan for my exterior. Whether it works or not... haha
