Basketball court

Artwork Works in Progress

Hey, I’m trying to make a realistic basketball court in Blender. So far, it’s pretty basic, really basic for that matter. Hey, it’s a start! :wink:

I have a few questions though. First, is there any way to make the hardwood texture look less tile-y? Even though it is gonna be tiled just like in real life. Second, and more importantly, does anybody know any sites where I can get some good reference images of basketball stadiums. This is important, because I want it to look realistic…and some of the geometry is complicated so itd be nice to get an idea how it should look.

To get the floor less tiley, two tips:

  1. Mix it up with other textures.
  2. Use an outline texture and procedurals for color.

Good start
