WWE WrestleMania XXXI Recreation

Sunday, March 29th 2015 was the annual WrestleMania event in San Francisco Bay area of California.
Here is my recreation of that event in Cinema 4D there are a few things to note for the environment; I am currently using a laptop as my PC is a bit dead and because my PC is gone I have lost alot of textures that I'd like to have used on this model. Either way, I have used Randy Ortons graphics because I was able to get them and they look good in the sunny model.
Above is a wide shot of the ring and the overhead, here we can see all of the square moving head LEDs on the overhead aswell as the glass/Plastic panelling above the ring. Each leg of the structure is fitted with LED Boards and some Flush lighting, the glowing effect on the flush lights was created using a light object with a Lens Effect. The ring is fitted with an LED board for the ringskirt with the superstars entrance on the display. On the external radius of the Legs there are very large moving head lights for crowd ambience.
This is a good example of why not to use light objects with lense effects as a visable light source because as you can see on the far left leg, the lights don't look very good and it's distracting, That aside, we get a good scale of size with the ring, overhead and stage in shot. The arena was developed in such a way that each tier is a polygonal object with UWV Texturing the "paint" the chairs and stairs onto the object. I worked fairly well but it doesn't look very convincing.
For the final shot, here is a close up of the WrestleMania 31 Stage, The stage is very similar to WrestleMania 28 in that it is mostly just a really big LED board with LED striped Screens on the lower tier behind it. The difference is there are more LED Batons, creating the lighting on the trussing, the WrestleMania lettering on the Upper Trussing is a different font and the center of the stage is decorated to be a very large "Play" Icon which is a nice touch for the theme of that years WrestleMania. The gigantic logo painted on the stage base was also a very nice feature to the stage.
