We are still working with our sexy-field artist to successfully import his nice looking field.
Although I had never used SketchUp before, I created a field using SketchUP (I would have preferred SolidWorks, but need a quick, low-risk alternative that could create files we could eventually get into FBX format). The field looks OK in SketchUp, but the colors go haywire by the time we get to an FBX format.
So I'm going to stay up tonight rebuilding the field model - hopefully with fewer noob mistakes - we will convert it into an FBX tomorrow and see what we have. If it's good we will give FIRST and LM HQ a chance to look for anything they want changed and then publish to the world.
The rules are all in pretty good shape, the robot motions need some focused tuning, and I keep reading things here on Chief Delphi that make me want to change some of the Human Player code I wrote, but... It's time wrestle with SketchUp for a while again.
If I have a warm fuzzy feelng when I finish tonight, and if I'm not completely worn out, I'll post a picture here.
Thanks for your patience.
Blake
PS: If I didn't think thousands of students and mentors weren't working as hard or harder all over the FIRST landscape, I would look for some sympathy. I guess I'll just have to suck it and get to work.
