Posted: 12 Oct 2010, 11:31Thanks Manu, problem with people seems to be fixed. Let me see if new problem will occur.
Re: Custom 3D courts
Posted: 15 Oct 2010, 04:10Hi Manu,
Another problem occur. When I put the seats on all corners(even if only one corner), it resulted to some weird graphics when run in TE2011. I even created new seats in those corners but same results. Please see the attached images. One image without the seats on the 4 corners has normal graphics while the other image with the seats on all corners has missing stadium surfaces and some graphical glitches. Any comment here?

Send me your .3ds again, I'll have a look... (you can send by email, it'll be faster)

Hello Manu,

I used the email that ManaGames sent me in my email when it sent some info. I hope thats alright. I sent two 3ds there. One with seats on corners and the other without.

Posted: 18 Oct 2010, 05:34This time I'm not sure what's wrong... It doesn't produce any special error.
I had a quick look at your stadium, and I noticed your seats in corner have a misplaced pivot : it's way too below them. Maybe fixing that would remove the problem...

Yes I notice that yesterday and I fixed that but, still it has the same problem...although I manage to put seats at the lower part of the corners without any errors, but for the upper part, it makes the graphic so badly deformed. Even when I put some rows of seats at the highest part of the upper part of the left and right sides, it creates same problem too, so I just let the seats as is.
Re: Custom 3D courts
Posted: 20 Oct 2010, 04:13I noticed a good bunch of your seats seemed to be fully copied (including geometry) instead of cloned. Could you check about that..?

Hmm...Strange..I use clone in all my seats... Note that they are triangular in shape but thats not a problem in TE, because in TE, they will be replaced by whatever is the geometry of the original(Only few of them, those that are full seats). I attached here a screenshot of what I usually do in cloning if I was doing it right. Please correct me if I am wrong with the process..

Posted: 21 Oct 2010, 09:08Hello Manu,
I change the seats by using clone-instance and the result is still the same so I decided to redo the B1 and B2 and place the seats including those at the corners, and it seems to work now..but let me see if I can finished all the seats in placed without any errors.

Posted: 21 Oct 2010, 10:59yup, Clone-Instance is the best way to do it. Copy actually copies the geometry.

Hello Manu, redoing the B1 and B2 with clone-instance didnt work either.

Hello Manu,
I tried different ways, but the outcome are unexpected. The glitches appear not on the same locations. Cant figure out whats wrong.
. By the way, my plan is to make different surfaces. Wood is one, I found from internet that its was being used long time ago, but its just for fun. Still searching for values for wood properties though. Still searching for possible surfaces. Have done the photoshop image of the wood and I am happy with it. Though I am still tweaking the properties for wood that relects its physical characteristics.
