Making a 3D Model of a Stadium
Hi guys!
I've started a little project to keep myself occupied - I'm making a virtual 3D model of the Madejski Stadium.
What I need to do this accurately is plans for the stadium. Particularly the dimensions and measurements of the stands and the locations of the camera gantries.
I've tried google (obviously) but I'm coming up with blanks.
Do anyone know if there's a public resource where I could access this information or can anyone point me in the right direction of people to ask?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I could probably get my hands on a point cloud if you’ve any modelling software?

Rowls, go to Reading Borough Council's website, navigate to the planning applications page and enter the reference 070434. This should take you to a planning application for the expansion of the Madejski Stadium. There is a set of existing plans and elevations that might help you.

Re: Making a 3D Model of a Stadium
Has there been any new work to the ground or surroundings fairly recently? If so you will be able to access drawings and documents on the local planning public access site.
If this fails you could drop a google aerial view into software such as autocad and scale this up, using a known dimension such as the 18 yard box as a reference. Obviously this won’t be entirely accurate but it’ll be close enough.

Cheers guys

I hope it is not made out of matchsticks!
It'll kill you first!
Stay well.

There is one ground I can model particularly well, it looks just like this

Covers a multitude of grounds that does, but 10 out of 10 for the pictorial.Iloveyoubrady wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:13 pmThere is one ground I can model particularly well, it looks just like this

Re: Making a 3D Model of a Stadium
The council is the answer, which might lead you to the identity of the architects and/or developers.
Beware though, those drawings may be protected by copyright and you may need permission to use them.
Just a cautionary thought, you understand.
Just hope it's not Barnfield, or they won't be finished yet !!!

Design your own origami football stadium.
I didn't really play with card and paper as a child, Lego was the building toy and I never did anything creative outside of that.
Folding a piece of paper like a fan, a section of terracing can be folded in a minute, so one could in theory build a room size paper and cardboard stadium fairly quickly and for pennies.
It shouldn't be that hard to deter somebody.
More fun than painstaking exact engineering copy recreations of the Majeski Stadium (why that one anyway?)_

Re: Making a 3D Model of a Stadium
1. Go to the tip and pick up an old bidet
2. Fill in the hole.
3. Paint the rim blue
4. Paint the bottom green.
5. When dry, take the product to a location where there are no pubs within a radius of about 2 miles.
6. Confiscate umbrellas from anybody near the bidet.
And you are done. If the product is plumbed in you even have a sprinkler system for half time just in case any arsenal players want to use it. .

3D scan a cornflakes box. It'll give you all you need to work with!
