My Capstone is going to be to model a baseball stadium, but I am still unsure over which one I want to do. I will explore various ideas and methods I will incorporate into the Capstone.....
1. I have a strong idea that I should do the stadium I dream about when I go to sleep because that's the one my team plays for and I have already incorporated the Red Sox into so many of my college assignments that it just seems like the right thing to do. Fenway Park is a very old stadium that has been renovated many times to keep up with the times, which means that modeling it will be very challenging. I love a good challenge, it motivates me to put out my best work and I really flourish under impossible stipulations. I would begin by mapping out the infield so I know where the field would be in the model. Then I would start constructing the outfield walls and work my way backwards. I find that the easiest way of progressing from such a daunting start. (From Albers classes' I've realized that starting out is harder than actually modeling anything)
2. My next idea would be to model a stadium that is closer to me for example, Wrigley Field in Chicago. There are a lot of benefits of being able to go to a stadium whenever I want that I am modelling. Finding resource images is always a challenge and in fact with the ability to go to the stadium I could do my own resource images, which would be ideal. (I have had problems in the past doing assignments for Albers when the item's picture isn't very good.) My only drawback from doing any other stadium than Fenway is, that it won't be as motivating to really model a stadium I love when it's just the Cubs.....a team that I don't care for. (My best model to date has been modelling something that I am passionate for)
3. If I were to really go for gold I would do the new Marlins stadium. Why, You ask? The newest and best stadium is the one most new to people and I really think there is a market out there for construction 3D modellers. If I do the brand new Marlins stadium I could really impress a lot of people sense the stadium is very complex and high tech since it was constructed in the last 2 years. I would probably need 3 semesters to really churn out something as advanced as the Marlins stadium, but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility to do that.
