Milestone 4

 Milestone 4 (Mar. 2, 2021)


Introduction

Last week we started blocking out the environment. This week we will continue to work on that. I introduced the Mozilla Hub to the group so we can look into it and see if we can use it for our project. The plan for this week is the group will start looking for patterns in painting, our primary focus on modelling and coding. We separate as the model and coding group. The model group will find models final by next Monday (triangle count), start creating some models on Maya. The coding team will get the blocking done by next week.

Challenges

The challenge for modelling is to find a way to model the totem pole and to find the right texture to apply to it.  The texture is the biggest issue since we cannot find the totem texture online. This is a problem for the modelling group to think about. For the environment. The problem is whether we could use Mozilla Hub in our project and would it make a positive effect on our project. After discussing with the prof today, I learned that we don't need to use Mozilla for our project but we can use some components from it to add to our project.


Successes

We started to block out the environment. We come up with an idea of creating the texture based on the painting. That would be to try making a texture and just placing it on a primitive to test it out. For the block-out environment, we were unsure how to set up the positions in our world since we are working on the different scenes on separate files. Later we came up with the idea of having a 4x4 connect hall in the middle of the world. Each of us moves the design to positive and negative 4 in their world respectively. Hope this can solve the collision problem when we try to merge two scripts later in the project. The solution is illustrated in the picture below.


Numbers of Hours Spent

3 hours on blocking out the environment(unfinished).
40 min on the weekly team meeting.

    Milestone 5 (Mar. 9, 2021) Introduction This week we are working on the works that have been assigned last week. In the discussion, many of us encounter problems and issues. I will focus on my job and figure out the solution by searching online and ask the professor. The modellers said that they will help each other out.  Next week is the Beta presentation. Next Monday we will have our meeting and then will start merging scenes together and prepare for the Beta test and presentation. Meeting Minutes -Mar. 9th, 2021 6pm-6:30pm -Bronwen: blocking done for museum, -Dana: done museum lights and stand models, house model left for the museum, -Ivy: painting blocking almost done, working on functions/interactions/adding models, -Minhye: completed 3d models, modelling house and totem poles, -Sehrish: painting landscape Next Week's Sprint: Merge environment together for the Beta test Prepare for the Beta presentation Finish and implementing some models from Maya to a-frame Scaling the m

  Milestone 6 (Mar. 16, 2021) Introduction This Friday we have the Beta presentation, the topic for this week is to prepare for it. We decide to focus on the museum part for the beta. Will try our best to realize the pick-up items and the click board user interaction. Model and texture will make for the museum first. In today's meeting, we listed all the stuff that needs to be done by Friday for the presentation. Meeting Minutes(beta checklist) -Mar. 16th, 2021 3pm-3:30pm museum blocking done teleportation to do to move around in VR space (clicking to move) for final not beta looking into scene transition for the museum to the painting, but for the beta can walk through the wall picking up and looking at items popup interaction clicking the stand (info), totem pole models(currently working on it) seeing the avatar for multiple players, socket io to add multiple people take scene block from GitHub and make models for it and texture those map model(done) house model(still in progress
