This is my first time using Google Sketchup. The instructions for this lesson were to include:
1) Buildings
2) Vehicles
3) Characters (people, animals)
4) Urban details - e.g. roads/traffic details
Use the large archive of online 3D objects to create a scene suitable for one of the following:
a) 3D Shooter Game
b) Top-down role-playing game
c) 2D Game - e.g. platform game
The first object I found as a building was a baseball stadium. My original intention was to litter the field with houses and bad guys with guns and have a the player shoot the bad guys in an FPS fashion. I decided to have some fun instead. This scene takes place as an "all-star" baseball game. Reminiscent of a Nintendo-esque game such as Super Smash Bros or Mario Tennis. The game has a bunch of well known characters from other video games or movies and has them all playing baseball together in a silly fashion.
The cast is as follows:
Solid Snake - Umpire
Marcus Fenix - Catcher
Master Chief - Batter
Leonidas - Pitcher
Predator - First Base
Terminator - Second Base
Mario - Short Stop
Link - Third Base
Darth Vader - Right Field
Lich King/Arthas - Center Field
Sauron - Left Field
In order to satisfy the "vehicle" portion of this lesson, I added an Abrams tank in the outfield, with a banner behind it that states, "hit the truck and one lucky fan wins it." Also there is a Deathstar in the background if that is characterized as a vehicle.
As far as vehicle and road details, I chose to use The Two Towers from Lord of the Rings in place of foul posts in order to further the fantasy and quite silly world. The Black Gate is in the back as well in order to make the field more "brutal."

Perspective from a potential fan in the seats.
Basic camera view where the player(s) will interface with the game. As either the pitcher or the batter.
