Blog 1 Looking to create a VR experience going with all of the things I have worked on throughout this school year. I’ve focused on several types of VR experiences dealing with everything from bots to animals. The first two projects I’ve done were my favorites, I was able to create a coherent storyline and…

I did the cinematics and animation for both boards. Now all I have left to do is the animation. These were really easy but fairly time-consuming. I do think some of the animations on the isometric could be better, but it’s good for a start. I wrote the basis of the script as I want…

I designed the rest of the experience. The isometric piece was pretty difficult. Trying to arrange it from a typical vantage point did not work out very well. As this would be viewed from the top. I would have to design ti from that viewpoint. It was an interesting adjustment, because I had never done…

Ok, I’ve now made the entire environment. I love the juxtaposition between it’s large size and bare objects. I kept the objects very limited because I wanted a deep sense of space for the player. Most things are spaced out and the sky takes up the bulk of the screen. With the two oranges going…

Things are looking awesome. I went through my pack of textures and found this liquid metal with the absolute perfect shading. I want it to be something catches light, but doesn’t cause these in-depth reflections. I just want large glints of light to hit on the floor and walls. I have a moving sky, and…

If Orange Was A Place. I’ve been listening to that album a lot – it feels very etheric. My mind relaxes and goes into a state of relaxation when I’m listening to it while working. I want to make something that captures this vibe – more the intangible parts than the actual music. What does…

Showed this in class today, it went really well. People loved the immersiveness and expansiveness of it – this is turning out to be an issue. The final assignment has a size requirement, and this would vastly exceed it. I thought about chopping most of the cave, just having a small environment for the player…

Everything has come together, I’ve added a lot of small details such as coins, point lights, foilage, etc… This is now looking like a real environment that I could travel around. Upon putting on the VR headset, I became extremely immersed and enamored with all of the happenings. There is constant motion and a rush…

Found some cool animations, also built a nice platform for them. I remember hen I was designing the world for Chief Keef, I had this large building with all of these robots in it. I’m thinking similar for this, however this is a natural structure and meant to be traveled through like one. How could…

I found a nice animation pack – I didn’t want to do the dances or anything whimsical. The space is very serious, as it’s a space full of rocks and set up like an ancient cave. There are some animation packs for meditation and another for generic movements. The meditative pack is very calming –…
