Weekly Progress Report: week 11 Sept (26-30)

Daily Log: (activities for the week)

* No reply emails from consent for photos potentially utilized for target images (if a reply for removal is received, we can simply replace with another target image, in the future).
* C# scripting for buttons and scene transitions custom created and added for touch screen functionality.
* final 8 animal characters were established (4 kittens, 4 puppies) and created into one app, in preparation for the Skype conference with Russel (confirming appropriate characters to be selected/ deemed suitable).
 

Status of the project: 
(on-track/ahead).

A summary of last week compared to what was stated on your timeline.

Timeline:
* Ensuring the script is compatible and the characters have been setup appropriately can be time consuming (something for others interested in this area, to be aware of*).

Previous week:
* Humanoid animation C# Scripting achieved: (Avatar script changes for various possible animated actions for the character/ AI sprite.

* Background Audio: successfully incorporated into Augmented Reality app/s (earlier than expected, but I was aware of the suitable background music by this phases*).

* App Icon: successfully incorporated into the final app build

A list of what was planned for this week (reflecting on what was stated the timeline, if not, justification for the change*).

• Final layout (things like replacing simplified characters and geometry (where suitable), with high reso, prep for animation by placing in the characters in start position, animation will take the scene and animate it.

• Stereo passing…setting for the left and right eye, preparing the final composition, looking for opportunities to have a more specific experience and draw in the audience etc.

• Animation (start bringing the characters to life…pose out the 3D characters (figuring out all characters walk, talk, movements etc).

Changes to your project requirements and justification (if applicable).
