A well productive day for me. Done modify modeling, firing animations and shader materials setup in Maya. It was still rendering when I was left by midnight. Hopefully we can take a look at what it will look a like today and modify from there.
yet to do, bullet to tank sequences.
Had an advisor meeting and long team meeting. Yet figure out what our primary scenario is. Maybe too much of game play design? Feel that we need to step out our next step as soon as we can.
Starting to re modify Arvind’s gun for animation use. Using x ray style like iron man like in movie.
Today we had a huge team dinner meeting. We tell other teammates what we had seen at University of New Haven and what Dr. Lee like and what he expect us to work on.
We now work on game direction at this moment, and will work on story later on.
Today we flew to Connecticut to visit Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences at University of New Haven. We spend good solid of 4 hours over there and was fortunately had a chance to meet Dr. Lee for little bit more than a hour. He and his staff liked what we had so far, and all agreed that was a good start we had.
They also gave us feedback, lots of them. Which we are going to talk about it on Thursday, that we are going to have a team dinner meeting to share most of these info to teammates that weren’t able to go.
Bottom line, there are so many for us to do. Really need to re-scope and tried to fit those feedbacks as much as possible.
Today I started with new models and talk about some info that we should watch out for New Haven trip for tomorrow.
Need to wake up early for 9:30 flight. Hope we’ll have a lot to learn and gather for our project.
Unfortunately, my TA meeting is comflicting with out advisor meeting, so I was unable to attend our advisor meeting.
This week we are flying to West Haven, CT visit New Haven University. Stopped by at Catlin and Iris’ offices to go over schedule and details to cover. It’s going to be my first trip out there because of ETC. Just want to double check with policies and details.
This week, really need to get started on modeling and firing sequence.
Today we had quarter presentation for team CSI. This is my first project presentation at ETC, little nervious but team and I managed to go through the entire afternoon with 6 group people.
We gathered lots of valuable info for us to consider. Will have a large team meeting next Thursday after we come back from our client.
We host playtest today, there are about 10 of ETCers came to our project room. We got lots of useful feedbacks from them.
Trip to New Haven is set, next Wednesday. That’s going to help a lot for visualize things for team.
Today we had rehearsal with Shirley and Scott, they pointed out things to watch out for our 1/4 presentation this Friday. Such as we should also pointed out that we went to Calgon Carbon last Friday. I will print out some photos to show what we’ve seen.
This afternoon I am discovering what we can do to get rid off “Trial Version” text that in our demo, so is the “Powered by Unity” screen as well.
Still looking…
Today we checked out CSI:Miami game from our game library. Unfortunately, it was a bit frustrating to play through the first level/chapter. It’s a bit long a confusing I think. And this is definitely what we are not trying to do for our games.
Going to work on textures for Navi tonight.
