Hey guys
I'm doing a video where i want to do a special effect. For this effect, I need a picture of the 2011 field, but it has to be empty. Like no robots on it. Tubes are okay, but no robots. People in the back is just fine. I would prefer a perspective view, not really from an angle as that would complicate things for me. A top view as well would not work. Hope you guys can help me out. thanks
I'll update this post if i find a real picture, but if you can't, you could consider using the manual's field picture:

I was thinking of using this picture before, but i ran into one problem...I want to rotate it so it is straight, not angled like it is, and i can't get it to work. Any ideas

No idea there :o
If you have any CAD skills, you could CAD it. 1323 has made fields in the past, but they havent put up this years yet. You could PM someone and see if they have a file.
Currently im looking through team's with well developed website's for photos.

PTC has the full field available here (http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?d=first&c=browse). It is only Pro/E format, though.

If you give me a general idea of the type of view you want, I can render the CAD for you and post an image up.
I can render a field for you. I'll be tied up for a couple of weeks so it will be a while before I can get to it. Attached is a render of just the end of the field to give you an idea of what it would look like.

I'm kind of tight on time, i need it for a school event in 3 weeks. The perspective i want would be like the image first posted above, just straightened out. Like if you were able to take that image, and just make it straight so the picture isn't slanted. That's all i really need
Ok, i am sooo close to getting you what you need. I found a 3ds Max file of the field. Its well done, and they supplied a photo, buts its in isometric view (not the view you need). the other problem, i dont have the program to open the file, rotate, and re upload. so, if someone that has 3ds Max, would you please help him out and give him a rotated picture.
Attached is a file
EDIT: Does a top view help?
EDIT EDIT: Nevermind, i read above you said a top view doesnt work
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Not 100% if this is a perspective view, but the blog called it one:

A top view is a good start. Not really what i need, but a start. If someone can PLEASE just rotate the file, and make it a jpeg or something, that would outstanding. Possibly take out the tubes in the middle if they want, though i could probably figure that out with cloning in gimp or something. Please someone help us out
What about the perspective posted above?

Look at the first image posted in this thread. That kind of perspective, just straightened out.
I found a completely gray CAD of the field. its pretty bland so idk if it'll work. CD only allows 100 KB for bmp, so attached is a google photos link for the picture.
Hope this helps,

FYI your link is bad.

The only thing I am worried about is if the pixels will stretch. However, you can always fix that in Adobe Premier Pro, if you have it?

go to www.3dcontentcentral.com and look up FRC Field 2011. then you only need to change the colour of the parts and it would work... no skills required

Ah. Its hard to know (or at least more annoying) when its your own accounts picture if the link works.
Here is a google docs link to the .bmp download:

Except for the fact the file is all one part......

It says that i do not have permission to see the photo, but i'll take a risk with it. Can you please change the view for me? Also, are you capable of at least adding the tape or some tubes to make it look at least legit? Something so it isn't so bland? Thanks

I would except im about to leave and im going to be gone most of the day :o
sorry. as i said, its bland and im not exactly sure how much i can mess with it since its a converted file and 1 part and they used weird methods. Ill look at it later. what view are you wanting because i thought that's how you wanted it. do you want a higher view than that?

In SolidWorks (can't say about Pro/E, Inventor, and others, but I imagine it's also the case there) you can change appearance of individual bodies and faces. Right click them and click the Appearance icon (a colored sphere). Not ideal, but you can get color discrimination within a single part that way.
Edit: Also, With a the appropriate render of just the gray CAD you could just use photoshop or gimp or similar to add the colors. It could be tricky to get the anti-aliasing just right.

I took this one at the Lone Star Regional after we had set up the tubes on the outside of the field.
Its the best live view shot of the field that I have.

Yeah, ive got Inventor.
I have very little experience with photoshop.
Ah well, he finally got the picture he needed. Its actually kind of surpising there wasnt a picture of a blank field that could be easily attained

All you crazy engineers trying to get digitally created mock-ups of the field *shakes head*
Its so much easier to just go into the ole camera phone and pull off a photo :)
