Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Walking Through The New Features, Including Create a Play
Thanks, I was still editing that big post up. I am sure it won't be helpful to him much, but this is the point of view that is being espoused on these boards in some form or another. Until we know or can help any further, there isn't much we can do.
Me personally I think it is a good idea to get a someone from the community to accept submissions of high-quality 5 mega pixel plus photos and then give them to the guys at the offices.
We have a big community here. There is no reason we cannot get people to go to one or two games a year with a nice camera and take some shots of the field. I think this would help the The Show devs, but IDK what they want or find acceptable.
It's unrealistic for us to have to provide a shot from reality in every single instance of each season. And it doesn't need to be done anyway. You can in fact match the lighting and color of grass fairly closely with modern game tools as long as you have enough information to start from. I don't make their lighting system, but it has improved quite a bit in recent years. All you really need are the chemical properties of grass I guess, but photos are going to be the only reasonable way to get there unless you want me getting arrested for stealing TF grass mid inning.
I do not think in any way it is unreasonable to take a slightly overcast but sunny midsummer day and color the grass based on that. Since you guys already have the lighting conditions you have to start somewhere.
Our displays are based on D65 coloring. Overcast slightly sunny. From there it should be all math work to get everything working at least decently.
If the art guys problem is that we can't match every single second of the year to every photo, then just match one. The Show so far doesn't look realistic in any way whatsoever. Let's just start at midsummer on a slightly overcast day and try to get that down first. Then let the math take over if you don't have any more data. But there should be more data coming. People go to games every year, and the team even has access to 4 or more stadiums next year. I don't think this is beyond reasonable to accomplish.
