Title: Mrdazza's skippy bats
Post by: mrdazza_460 on February 01, 2010, 02:17:32 AM
Hello to all, I am the newest member of the Team Downunder  
Mrdazza (Darren)
Anyway lest cut to the chaces, you all wont to see what I got, I guess,

Well hear is the Bat I am currently working on, MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground)
Acutely the MCG is the first thing I ever tried when I stubbled across a "3D program" back in 1998 on the net, ever since then 3D modelling as been my hobby of mine, so I have a large backlog of models that I have made over the years. This is my latest attempt, it's differently turning out to be the best.

Hear are some of the other Skippy Bat you can expect over this year
(All of these need texturing as more detail added as well)

Wow, nice first post &apls

Those are all looking great, I'm particularly drawn to the house (I used to live in one just like it).
Glad to have you onboard here at TD, you're clearly going to be quite an asset. ;D

 o.k. this is where I'm up to, I still have to add some more window textures for the privet boxes in the ground  but. Some advice is needed on all the other textures, the only part I'm partly happy with at the moment is the roof on the  MCC members side of the ground ( The one with the large polls and guide wirers)

Looking brilliant mate. Wow, you've captured it beautifully, that is the MCG. So long SC3000 MCG, you've been seriously upgraded.

It's still not as good as my AFL oval though... ;)

thingfishs @, it's a ALF assault, it is the greatest game in the world, the rest of the world just don't know about it yet. :thumbsup:

Briliant! I don;t see anything wrong with it so far :)

It would be nice to see a cricket pitch in there for half a year, and then the AFL markings showing up for winter  ;)

That stadium looks amazing!

What crazy sport is that field for? I'm Canadian, so I get confused when sports don't involve some sort of frozen surface.
Title: Re: Mrdazza's skippy bats
Post by: joelyboy911 on March 01, 2010, 07:29:54 PM
@ wes.janson - this is a sport totally unknown to nations other than Australia - It's called AFL which stands for Australian Football League. Some people claim it to be a variant of Rugby (before the League-Union split), however the similarities are limited.

Its commonly known as "Footie" in Australia, and "Aussie Rules" in New Zealand. It's not, however, commonly played in NZ (some people may be aware that New Zealand is a seperate country from Australia :P).

@Mr Dazza - you're doing a great job here!
Title: Re: Mrdazza's skippy bats
Post by: thingfishs on March 01, 2010, 11:51:20 PM
The sport is called 'Australian Rules Football'. The AFL is the national league but it's also played at state, district and school levels. The most similar sport to it that I know of is Gaelic Football. Basically you're trying to get the ball between those posts, between the middle two is 6 points and inside the outer posts is 1 point. It is very much embedded in Australian culture.

Thanks for dropping some knowledge. I learned something new today.

Most aussies I've met claim that the only thing wrong with NZ is that it's above sea level  :D

the other wrong thing would be television shows we get fed, like "highway patrol" and "outrageous fortune" ??? :P

No-one straps you down and forces you to watch them. We also receive such nonsense as "Home and Away" and "Kath and Kim".  :D

Well it is the grates game in the world 
I would also like to point out that there is no off side rule, its a 360 degree game, you can run any where at any time, it is a very high scoring game as well, 15 to 20 goals should win you the match, depending on who you are playing,   the  two arcs you see represent 50 Meters, Most AFL players can kick 50 Meters or more.

There are actuly two ex-ALF player going around in the NFL Ben Graham, and Anthony Rocker, Ben Graham clam to fame is he could kick the ball 90 Meter, he was a o.k player i guess, kicking is not everything in ALF         
Also my logo hear is the western bulldogs logo a team in the AFL, if you are going to support at team, I think every one should support them

That looks so good. All your work seems to be of the highest Australian-BATs quality I've seen, though there isn't as much of that around as there should be.

But I've got to request the cricket version, too. Bigger fan of cricket than footy.:$

I wonder if its possible to make the actual ground a prop that changes from cricket to footy markings in March, and then back again in October or something, and how that would influence the shadows, etc.

Amazing the career paths people can take these days, I had no idea those guys used to be ALF. :D
