week9(In Class): Presentation & feedback

We did the slides for small group presentation:

Feedback from tutor today:

  1. Work in progress video should include more concept building part ( refer to the structure on our ppt ) like drafts, screenshots from chat GPT , more videos of MR building process )
  2. ⁠the MR recording need to add more content ( especially the interactive part, make sure the recording is clear to know what happen when user touches )
  3. ⁠if there is a room full of flowers , it will be cool
  4. ⁠sounds effects add into background in MR
  5. ⁠voice over is necessary in the work in progress video( can use AI generated voice over)
    For the working in progress part , I found this video which we can refer to for the concept building part) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4LUzW2vKdo/?igsh=MWRwd2Q1aWs4bDV6bw==

week8: Resolving cooperation issues

Problems:

  1. Export animation to fbx mode unable to bake complex animation and lose part of animation in fbx

Solution:

change the model, delete controllers and do the animation again for some plants

2. Error when putting growth and wave animations together into unity when the animation is working fine in FBX.

Solution:

I did wave and growth animation in seperate files, so I need to make sure the same name of each unit in Outliner.

eg: I combine some leaves and named it P_33, but P_33 is not in another file which makes errors, so i need to delete it and do the animation for leaves seperately.

3. Parent Constraints cannot be imported into fbx

Solution: Abandon use of parent constraints and re-animate each leaves

4. Do the animation on UNFOLDED model!!!! I animated the model directly after making it, resulting in the model not using the folded UV’s. So I animationed again for the folded one.

5. Rendering time is too long in Maya, so we decide to rendering in C4D and set up cameras and lights

Conclusion: Since it was the first time we worked together, I didn’t know much about exporting fbx and importing into unity at the beginning, which led to the animation being redone and modified many times. After this experience, I hope the next collaboration will be more smooth!

This week the team in charge of making MR started to test and make demos after getting the animation.

Edit the animation video for presentation and submission

Photos after meeting: (As the program nears its end, collaborate with group members to solve problems in the school’s multimedia classroom.) Love everyone soooo much!!! :)))))

week7: Do plants animation

I did four models of animation, and each model has two animations: grow and wave

Model 1 growing animation preview
Model 1 waving animation preview
Model 2 growing animation preview
Model 2 waving animation preview
Model 3 growing animation preview
Model 3 waving animation preview
Model 4 growing animation preview
Model 4 waving animation preview

Our teammate moonju do the texture for the model:
