Classic Retro Arena's Preview:Great Western Forum'98 Pg 2

[hokupguy]

I have been getting lots of pm's regarding my arena's that Bayaga previewed in his classic thread. So i am preview all that have been compeleted. They are set to go hand and hand with Bayaga Classic 07 Mod. They wont be released until his final set come's out. It gives me more time. Some of these arena take me a month to compelte.

This one took me month, 1st up The Forum based on the Showtime lakers area during the 1987 NBA Finals. All My arena's will be set for each time / era example finals or playoffs.

Here I am, one of those 4! Just back from a 5 days trip to Barcelona...

Congratulations daddie!
The United Center is absolutely AMAZING!
I also like the Forum very much, appreciating a lot that "CBS Sports" commentators' table... Overall, it's really faithful to the real one... only Jack Nicholson is missing!!!
Just one thing to daddie: looking at the first 5 pictures, it seems that the bottom of the big scoreboard is really close to the parquet floor... Is it visible during a game (playing with "press camera box")?

@BAYAG: You're right, very few people are keeping track of these threads... but I could bet everything I've got that once the patch will be released a huge amount of people will download it!!!

[BigYoda]

Actually I bet a lot more people look than post. A lot of us don't have much to say so just read and move on. Great to see that old arena again, so many good memories.

[PhatGeezer]

god-like

[JaoSming]

[Bird_33]

Great work man!, looking forward to havin this

[hokupguy]

Thanks guys , Jao i kinda a had feeling you wuld be feeling this one.

[JaoSming]

Well your feelings about my feelings felt just about right

[fabri79]

Wow... As cool as usual! You're the man!

[Tasos]

Great work daddie9!Your courts are awesome.

[hokupguy]

[PhatGeezer]

yea, both of them

Fantastic loving the arena stuff in these, the jumbotron, the scorer tables and the others, that's why i've asked

[hokupguy]

Here's a preview of the 1995 Orlando Arena or Called back in the Day "O Arena". Shaq & Penny days. This took me longer the thought because EA butchered the hell out of it. Correct look and lighting in the arena.

Amazing! How many arenas like these have you planned to make?

I plan on making one for each team.....

Here is the preview of the Alamo Dome the look is of the 1999 NBA finals. I had to build this from stracth twice. Deleted the 1st by mistake. This has been the hardest one to make , lots of hours using the ebo tool. It is very detailed as could make based on the restrictions that i had.

Man, what a commitment!!! This means around 50 arenas!!! I guess the final release is many months away... but this patch is gonna be the best one ever... BTW thank you for your ongoing updates, your works are aways very, very good...

[JaoSming]

very nice man, you are just getting better and better

might want to stick some kind of variation on the blue divider to make it a bit more realistic other than that, amazing

Yea but its not really as many as it sounds for example there will be 3 diffrent Forums, 2 Boston Gardens and 2 MSG for example. They will be built the some what the same but the art would need to be changed to give the look of the era team. Yea i think bayaga still far out with the final release. I am currently in the middle of training camp for my new team so if i make the final cuts not sure how much will be getting done. Also NBA 2k10 is just around the corner.

[BAYAG]

hehe make that 3 boston gardens....I'm halfway done with '76 celtics...whatever you can contribute will be appreciated...we all have other priorities..do what you can...

[hokupguy]

another boston garden, ok . Will i am at pratice facilty know playing my iphone, anyways will upload some pics of new arena.
Bayag check your pm...

[BadLuckLuke]

What a great year for us retro lovers this is with bayag, daddie9, Bird_33 etc...
Bravo guys!

[hokupguy]

Here another version the "The forum" based on the look for the 1972 Finals against the NY Knicks... Its darker then the 87 version and you can see the change. Take a look at the back borad and basket stand and crowds seats very retro.

[BadLuckLuke]

any new previews???

[JaoSming]

dude, that is an awesome backboard, great job

[hokupguy]

You ask and you shall recive .... 63' Boston Garden

Has total different look and feel from the 86' Boston Garden. Looks like what it did in 63', shot clock, backboard, bench , score board , banners, press table totally has the look of the 63' garden as seen in old nba tv videos.

[BadLuckLuke]

Those are great

[JaoSming]

holy shit

[hokupguy]

Those are great

thanks

:applaud: holy shit

only you could get away with that. I still have 2 more to previews. I haven't worked on any since end sept. And all the work i have done has been sent over for bayaga . In june or so i we start up again. Unless there is a 3-D editor for staduims for Nba2k10

[JaoSming]

actually....there is....and its been out for a few months

[hokupguy]

actually....there is....and its been out for a few months

there is? where? i looked in the 2k fourms and didnt see anything.

[JaoSming]

viewtopic.php?f=125&t=70100

gotta use either Maya ($$$) or Blender (free)


I'd be glad to help you out with blender

[hokupguy]

jao , thanks man , just downloaded it and watched the video. I can see can edit part of the stadium it self but if i what to move the jumbtron to different part of the arena looks like it cant do. Have you tried to edit a arena or court your self w/ this?

Note : i dont have the game for pc, doesnt run on new mac and the pc i use for live cant handle it.

[JaoSming]

yea so looks like you wont be able to much then but in blender you gotta switch from "object mode" to "edit mode"

[hokupguy]

yea i will play around with it tonight and with blender. But i think i cant do what i have done w/ live arenas w/ 2k arena with these tools. Let hope we can.

If anybody wants to see more of my arena work i will post more prewiews.

[JaoSming]

I def want to see more of what you've done with 06

and with the 2k thing, it's pretty much the exact same thing as using ebodit/ebo editor, just with a 3d program and better tools. we still cant add or delete anything but the arenas are pretty much the same

[hokupguy]

then i need to play with this and if works like i like, getting a new pc... I'll put some more previews in few days.

[hokupguy]

here's another preview...

93' America West based on the 1993 NBA Finals , Looks totally diiffrent for the one that on the disk. Detail banners and ads also lightling and jumbtron.


And this one for andrew, "Paxson for 3!!!"

[PhatGeezer]

whoa...

[JaoSming]

man, i dont know if i want you to goto 2k games to make great stuff there or stick with 06 and continue to do great work with the older game

great great work

[hokupguy]

man, i dont know if i want you to goto 2k games to make great stuff there or stick with 06 and continue to do great work with the older game

great great work

thx man, thing is i really dont play Live and its only when i patch arena. And i really love 2k10 and would enjoy the game even more with my patches. And seeing retro rosters coming out. Would add some much, the thing with live the player just look so bad. But if i cant patch 2k the way i wont, and i plan to patch again in the next few months.

[JaoSming]

im with you on that

with blender, as it stands right now in my understanding, we can do the exact same things to 2k10 as we could with ebodit in Live.
