Field Design Help

[subbeh]

We are constructing a 3-man field in the area we used to play woodsball. The only material we really have available are tons and tons of pallets, which have the boards on one side switched to the other, so there are NO holes in the pallets.

We want the games to be quick and crazy...

Each pallet is about 4 feet tall, and the ones marked stand up will be 2 pallets (8 feet).

Hmm... I need suggestions. This design I made just doesn't feel right... tell me what you think, or even better, make an illustration :D Feel free to butcher my pic or make your own. Thanks.

The bunkers i added i think should be angled at 30* or soo. THis is so you can run and dive under it so that you are lyig down. It kinda allows you to get batter angles. Maybe make them 8ft wide. Just an idea!

That's cool, but I don't have the time to make something that large. Plus we don't have space... we want a small 3 man field to go crazy on :D

is this the one you've been telling me about?

That bridge would be insane...

[synreal]

Try putting a bunker with the flag right on the 50, i'd also move the dead box off to the side of the field.

not only would that bridge be insane, that field would ROCK!

With any luck it will get built in Canada, that is an entry I submitted to PaintballAction.net in a contest they recently ran to gather field ideas for their new indoor facility.

What does the winner get?

You could keep the middle tape bunkers on one side and make a snake out of four pallets on the other. You could cut two pallets in half so it would only take two to make the four zig-zag sections (even more sections would be cool if you have the space and extra pallets).

Could someone make a picture of what I'm talking about? I can't do the picture stuff. Even if it's really simple work. :D

'02 Vision Impulse, and a nice piece for their portfolio ;)

I entered just because I needed an excuse to force myself to learn 3DS Max, but another marker would be a really nice fringe benefit.

This is perfect... I couldn't figure out a way to make a good bunker right there in the middle, before the square at the 50. That is exactly how I would like it... thanks syn!

[synreal]

yeah, i know, i'm a rockstar :p

good luck with the field, be sure to post photos when it's done and built.

Here's my pathetic attempt to show one. I played on one similar to this one in a tourney one time.

[K-villeplayer]

Sorry, forgot the picture. Here you go


Had to crop it pretty bad to get it to fit, the dead box is off to one side and the bunkers in the back are standups. Also, the snakes are mad up of 3 pallets. Hope this clarifies the pic.

this is what we drew up....

[jah871]

and this is how it turned out..

[subbeh]

I need to build it quickly so I'm going with syn's and mine designs combined.

I'll post pics this weekend or so...

That's a pretty good idea. I think I'll know what I'll be working on for the next few days in 3Ds Max if I can get the software to work again on my computer. Good to meet someone on here that knows something about it.
