3D printing for the clamps

After a discussion with my lecturer, he suggested that i meet up with Ron, who might be able to help me with setting up the VR lighthouse without the tripod. The reason that I don't want to use 2 tripod is because the base are too wide and it's blocking the play area.


Ron helped me to print out both custom clamps to attach to the auto pole so that I could clamp the lighthouses on it. Both of the design fit's perfectly on the pole and the lighthouse is tightly screwed on to it. I am grateful that Ron helped me to work on the 3D printing and designing the clamps, it won't be possible without his help on this.

Who Killed Teddy? Beta Test

Today our class run a beta test to anyone around The One Academy. Since my VR game needed a huge space to setup, i won't be joining my classmates. Luckily my lecturer got an empty classroom for me to setup once I cleared all the tables and chairs. I get quite a lot of feedbacks from the users as they provide me the chance to improve on my VR game. Here is the list that I deemed priority to work on. Feedbacks: Ambient music too loud, covering the dialogues from the detective. Play area needs to be as spacious as the crime scene itself. The Start Game menu confused a lot of people as they don't know they are needed to go in front of the button and click it literally Item list needs to be interactive I will look into these matter in the coming weeks. Progress is good enough as people loves the experience.

Dead Pixel Origin and Art Direction Changes

So where did the name came from? It was back in 1867 when- I'm just kidding, in year 2012, a team of 5 CG artists which consist of Fong Kheng Wai, Cheng Weng Kee, Malini Wan, Yap Jian Leng and me of course created an animated short film called "Death in D Minor"  Poster that we designed for our short film. Here's the story of the short film: "No one escapes Death, but Jones will sure as heck try. Living in honour of his dead war buddy, Jones will brush the dust off his boom-stick and go tango with Death itself." It was our final project that we did together back then and we are quite proud of it. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZArjyYgTyU This animated short film is done for college final project by 5 students from The One Academy. As for the art direction, originally I am going for the outlined art style, much like the games point and click game developed by Telltale, but I have come to a problem wher...

User interface Implementation in VR World

Image
I finally figure out how to place the UI into the VR headset, but I've no idea if it's the right way to do it, hence I will leave it as it is first due to Beta Testing is coming next week. After fumbling around and experimenting on how to display the UI on the VR headset, I have come across this forum which provide me a clearer answer about it. Apparently the normal way to display the UI won't work in VR. Screenspace can only be used on monitor screen, and Spatial UI and World Space can be used on VR but I have yet to adjust it properly to fit on the perfect viewing distance for the player.
