Stage Design
Resources
For those who would like to design their own
stages, the following links provide MS Word templates and stage prop graphics
that can be used to layout your own stage design. Some familiarity with MS
Word is required.
3D Stage Design
- Google has developed a
free 3D modeling program called Sketchup that can be used for 3D stage
design. The program can be downloaded via the first link below
(make sure you download the FREE version and not the version for sale).
Also listed below are three additional files: brief instructions
for using Sketchup to design stages, a blank stage template containing a wide
array of standard props, and lastly a sample stage. The
program takes a little effort to get the feel for it but it is very
powerful, e.g. allows the user to do a virtual
walkthrough, spot potential shoot-throughs, etc. The only thing
missing is Joe Touchton shouting directions. Have a look.
Online Stage Resources
-
Stage Exchange
is a free site offering over 1000 IPSC/USPSA-style stages, indexed
by round count, discipline, etc. It is a great site to browse
for ideas or stages can be downloaded for use in local matches.
