Final Submission.

Group Statement:

THE AIM OF OUR SNAKES AND LADDERS DRIVEN MAP IS TO REACH THE TOP OF THE BUILDING VIA A SERIES OF ELEVATORS AND TELEPORTERS. SOME OF THESE ELEVATORS GO UP AND SOME OF THEM GO DOWN. THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A POWER FAILURE, SO A FLICK OF THE SWITCH WILL GIVE THE PLAYER LIGHT FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THE POWER FAILURE ISN'T HELPED BY BURST WATER PIPES RUNNING THROUGH THE BUILDING. SWOOOSH!


RESPONSIBILITIES:


  • TOMMY WONG IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KISMET. HE WILL WRITE A KISMET SEQUENCE WHICH RUNS THE LIGHTING SYSTEM.

  • SAM LI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PARTICLES. HE WILL CREATE PARTICLE SYSTEMS THAT WILL APPEAR THROUGHOUT THE MAP.

  • ERIC LEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MATINEE. HE WILL CREATE A PATH THROUGH THE STATIC MESH WITH PROGRAMMED ELEVATORS.

Particle systems are generally used to enhance or make a scene/map look more realistic. For this map I used the particle system mainly as a reference point for players and also create a some what unique scene when they reach the huge opening near the top of the model. *(not sure about this, but I've tried to run the map a few times, and each time I got different and weird result with the particle system).


Week 12 - Draft Demo + Map.

Before I forget. The concept we will be using is "Snakes and Ladders".

In the beginning I really only wanted to use the waterfalls as a reference for the map. The map itself is a maze.

Again, in the beginning I only wanted to use the particle system as a guide for players.


Below is the link for my Draft Demo and Map.

Week11 - Particle System: 30 Second Video + Images

Using the resulting room from the two room tutorial, I applied what I have learned from the particle tutorials to creating a spark spitting dragon statue.



Week10 - Two Room and Model.

Week9 - EXP2: Final Submission.



Pan on the Original SolidWorks model. First of all I used vray to render the animations, because I can't remember the settings for scanline.
Building + Bomb, whenever these two words apparent in the same sentence people will think of the World Trade towers in New York. That is all I have for this one.



Above: 49% remove, zoom.
I mention about the World Trade Towers above, this clip is most likely trying to mimic the affects of that day.



Above: 74% removed, rotate.
I tried to link this experiment back to experiment 1 by using the theme of how will an explosion affect the materials of a modern tower (concrete, steel and glass). Typically an explosion will happen on the ground, but in this experiment I was wondering what the effects of an explosion will be if it was detonated in the heart of a tall structure.
