Renders coming soon.

Feel free to ask questions here or in the video comments. I’ll post the actual renders in a different thread once I have them finished, which should be in a few days.

Shouldn’t the monitor be facing the teams?

#3

Thanks for the insights of making 3D renders!

#4

From what I’ve seen, the monitors are always facing the audience.

#5

I am thinking of the monitors that display remaining time in the match. But heck, I am always in the audience :slight_smile: Need players!

However, looking at past games - field monitors face the players. If a laptop is used to drive the field monitor, they face the audience.

At least that has been the case in Southern New England.

#6

Same in Colorado and at worlds.

#7

Either way, there have been competitions that I have been to where they face both the competitors and the audience or just the audience, or competitors.

#8

No problem. I really actually like this stuff.

This is what I thought. Am I crazy? Like seriously which is it? Given there there’s a big wall in front of the monitor mount it sort of seems silly to face the screen towards the players.

#9

Tournament manager has a field display that shows the players the countdown timer for each portion of the match. So, it makes sense that you want that facing towards the teams playing.

I am getting a field setup on Monday, so I should be able to tell how much the fence will interfere with seeing the countdown timer.

Yikes, I had not thought of the field monitor. It is a rather difficult place to put it this year. How obstructed will it be do you think?

#11

What can you use the field renders for?

#12

Just to look at.

  2. Fun! Increase you skills. Start with the known game to make the challenge game.

  3. To conceptualize what the water game will look like :slight_smile:

Thanks !!

You may want to look at what my deliverables look like from previous years. It’s the top-down renders that are the most useful.
