I have modelled the exterior now too.

Here is a view from the shed end/East stand corner upper tier, looking towards the west stand. The players entrance is in the opposite corner. Notice also the very asymmetric slops to the upper tier of the west and north stands.

It is not the same height all the way around. In fact, no single stand is the same height. But it is nothing like the emirates.

Some more views of the stadium. Let me know if there are particular views you'd like to see.

Another quick render update

I updated my model to be an exact copy of the official model. So I can make renders from any seat, section in the stadium.

Hmmm, that design looks familiar! ;)

Opps, wrong video, sorry.

The empty seats were just to help show the stadium seating structure and layout a bit.

...and here it is without the roof and lighting system.

Hi. So I thought I would do one last render, and this view shows the shed end stand, (since this is the shed end forum after all) ;)

I think that of course, it shares similarity with those other modern stadiums. However, I do think th design is very unique. I haven't been able to post enough views from within the stadium to make that point. But th roof and certainly the exterior will make this stadium extremely different. It is very bespoke.

Hi. Here is a first *rough* colour render. I've so many things to fix on this image, but thought I'd show you what progress has been made.

Haha, nope not single. But honestly, these images take very little effort or time for me to do.

To give a little perspective to the dimensions of the stadium, if you consider that each block on the west lower in my render is 25seats x 28 rows = 700 seats per block, multiplied by 7 blocks which is 4900 seats in the west lower. West middle is again 25seats x 12rows = 300 seats per block, multiplied by 7 blocks which is 2100 seats in the west middle. West upper is 25seats x 35rows = 875seats per block, multiplied by 7 blocks which is 6125 seats in the west upper. In total, the new west stand holds 13,125 seats on its own. Here are the stand capacities in my model: The east stand is 16,250. The shed is 9,750 The Mathew Harding is 11,250 The west stand is 13,125 The corner between shed+west stand: 1,950 The corner between Mathew Harding + west stand: 1,950 The corner between east stand and shed: 2,475 The corner between east stand and Mathew Harding: 2,475 Overall (model) stadium capacity: 59,225 I am pretty sure that the isle's between each block are too wide in my model. Also I think th entrances in th stands are too big. I think that if both elements scale were reduced, and only sightless, the stadium capacity would easily exceed 60,000.

Hi Just a little something to keep you updated. 60,000+ seats added!

Hey. That's really cool. Yeah they are my renders. I'm gonna start working on a proper fully detailed render soon, watch this space...

The new stadium is basically the east stand wrapped around all four sides. The three tiers each have almost exactly the same slo, size, and number of rows as the current east stand. The top tier obviously changes height as it goes around the stadium.

The roof is pretty much the same height as existing structures. Hence the severe slops. The stand the has the most significant height increase is the shed. But the new shed stand matches the footprint and height profile of the existing hotel complex. So there would be no change is light that may affect neighbours. Very clever.

Hi. I have attached a link to a test animation render I made of the model. It is a low res, low detailed model guys. So don't judge me on the low quality, its really just to show different angles for those of you who have asked for such. When more detailed images are released, I will do a proper model, with details and photorealism. But it is really not worth it right now, as beyond what I have been able to model from the images CFC have released, anything more is purely guess work, and that's not what I want to achieve. ** this is a low resolution render ** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amhA...ature=youtu.be

Bjd, wow. The official chat room? That's so cool. Do you have a link?
