So I had an interesting time adding lighting to the field. The field looked quite allright without lighting. But then I enabled lighting and things got a bit odd. Finally I realized I'd not specified a normal vector for the field. So I fixed that and got a nice grey field. So I finally figured out material properties for the field and proper positions for the spotlights to make everything work right. Then things got just a little bizarre. Yes, that is a10 foot tall utah teapot sitting on the field. So after enough of that silliness, I finally sat down and just defined some simple goalposts. They look better from the field. I think I'm now gonna add menus for changing the viewpoint. Onwards goes the grand struggle.
