Week 19

this week i went through the animation assignment to figure out what i had left to do on it so i wrote a checklist out for my self for me to mark off what i had done and needed to be done. after doing that i went a head and did my write ups for my character and train. after i did that i went a head and rendered the video and added sound to the final rendered version of file. after completing the assignment to the best of my ability i then went a head and played a bit of the anthem demo to get ideas on terrain building for my game.

Week 18

This week after looking into my mind-map i then decided to look into how to add a mini map to the game so that the player is able to see whats around him a bit better and help to navigate around. i firstly went a head and looked up on YouTube and found the following video 

after finding the video i went a head and tried to implement it into my game i stumbled across a few problems when doing this by the camera not working the way it was meant to but i managed to get the mini map to work and also follow the player around the terrain.

week 17

after figuring out where my current game is at i then went a head and re looked over the initial ideas what i had put in the mind map and just went over on what and how i could implement them into my game from where i am currently at.

week 16

this week i worked on animation assignment by doing the following tasks that i set my self:

Editing train - by finishing off adding final bits to the train and also trying to UV map textures onto the train.
character building - building a character in Maya and also figuring out how to add bone structure to the character to make the character movable. after finishing the character and train i then went a head and put them into one scene and started to do my animation with them both
