For your first attempt at a stadium in blender, it came out really nice. Do you have any plans on touching up some of the retro arenas to make them look a little more accurate/not so generic?

what do you mean they don't render? like inside blender you can't see them? or like when you try to put a bunch of models into one stadium file you can only get some to work?
did you check to see how far back the view of the whole scene is getting clipped at ? I hope that is what you mean
great job for the beginnings of messing around with blender stuff it takes a while to get acclimated to the controls and what you can do with them

Thanks for the compliment. Means a lot coming from you. Your Summer League Mod is flawless.
Using blender with 2k stadiums is like walking on eggshells
I have 58 revisions that I kept a record of. A couple of times I had to go back and throw away hours of work. There's so much you can't do or it freaks out. Don't know if I'm going to do this again. Not that I regret this project, but there were definitely more headaches than expected.
A few things you may already know, but I learned through this experience.
1. Don't render/export in edit mode. Doesn't work. Need to be in object mode. It will act like it's exporting, but it never shows in game.
2. Don't Alt+Scroll. That screws it up somehow too. Hard not to do with all the shortcuts especially on a laptop like me.
3. Don't try adding anything. Even one node, and it won't render properly. Have to work with only the assets within the stadium. I ended up using a window texture, and blowing it up to get all my transparent textures (was the only one available). The Playoff Wall is actually a circuit breaker.
4. Make sure nothing overlapses. This is probably the hardest part in blender. Don't know if I accomplished this or not.
5. Make backups of every step. Don't do more than one or two edits before checking in game. The moment I assumed it was good was the moment I lost hours of work.
6. Manual lighting texture mapping is a HUGE pain. Especially after getting through all these hurdles. I finally figured out a method to get rid of shadows that don't belong. Would have to create a video tutorial to explain how, but it involves using masks and gradients. 20% transparency seems to be optimal.

yeah that sounds like a pain in the ass lol regardless it came out amazing and it could be a base to different type of arenas. Which version of blender did you end up using?
