 Milestone 6

Hours: 5.5

    This week a big challenge was just having enough time to work on the project and get all my work for other classes and work done. What I did have time for however, felt very productive and useful for the beta that is coming up this week. We managed to get the script done so we contacted the VA for our project and have plans to record the dialogue this week. We also decided we may need a second VA for narration which will help with our accessibility. Other things I worked on this week included tweaking the music a little bit, and the big thing I worked on this week was getting some models done. Alex sent us some sketches which we started modelling, and I managed to get a pretty good grasp on some of the environment models which I will be continuing to work on in the upcoming week. 

    The biggest challenge this week was with modelling and making sure I tried to optimize thing as best possible. A lot of our shapes were fairly simple, but I wanted to still make sure that we were working with the least amount of faces & vertices as possible. We also want to make sure that when we import our models into our project, that it isn't a pain to move them around and place them, so that is something that I also had to think about while modelling. While it was a necessary step, it was still probably the largest challenge that I ran into this week. 

    The biggest success this week I think was also with the models. They turned out pretty well, and we made them so that we can just copy past a few different objects together so that we can create a few variations of the same objects so it's not exactly the same every time.

 Milestone 2 - Selecting an Idea Hours Spent: 2.5h This week we really wanted to narrow down our ideas from the large list, to maybe a more specific idea that our group as a whole thought was good. Our first step was eliminating all of the ones that nobody was hugely interested in so we held a little vote session where we had three votes each to put into the different ideas and we managed to narrow it down to around five ideas. We had a few choices that we felt were better as modifiers rather than whole ideas, for example the escape room could be combined with a larger idea to really strengthen an idea. The most difficult task was removing ideas we thought were good but just didn't think were plausible or felt a little too vague of an idea.  So this brought us down to even less ideas until we finally settled on one idea that ALL of us had voted for which was that YOU are the art. You create your character and from there we are going to expand on ideas once we get our idea chec...

 Milestone 4 - Getting Started     Hours Spent: 10 hours           To get started this milestone I worked on a lot of things. including the Alpha presentation, really narrowing ideas down with the group. I managed to get a little bit of a jump on getting some information on what the music is going to sound like and how I can go about creating that. We also managed to cast a voice actor to play our singularity, Gea.      First off with the Alpha presentation, creating it went pretty smoothly. We were just finishing up the proposal document, so a lot of the information wasn't new and it was just being transferred over from that, which was pretty easy. Our biggest challenge on that was how many other things we had to finish so we didn't have much time to practice. Luckily for me memorizing scripts isn't too hard, but we didn't have time to practice so it was a bit of a kerfuffle for presenting as a group.      Secon...

  Milestone 1 (Brainstorming)         Creating a VR art gallery. What would be different between a normal art gallery and a VR art gallery, and what is really considered art? What type of art do we want to include. We think that art is very subjective so we decided to really spread out our ideas to be all sorts of different things. Here are some of the ideas I came up with and why I thought they would be good ideas... Visualized Music:      Music is such a phenomenal form of art. Imagine a movie or game with no music, it wouldn't be the same. The amount of immersion you can get from music alone is phenomenal, so I think that visualizing music in VR could be one of the most interesting and immersive ways to make an art gallery. It's very different from a normal art gallery as it's visualizing music which you wouldn't really be able to do in general. It's different and it can be beautiful.  Choose Your Own Adventure Gallery:  ...
