Presentation set up

Over the Easter break, Sidekick members will each have a copy of the presentation to put what they've done in part 2 of Urban Rush and it'll all be put together the first week back.  The presentation copy is on drop box, in the Presentation 2 folder.

Car textures

Did a variation of textures because the cars are going to be reused in the game.

Attached mo-cap data to Jen for idle animation cleanup. - James

HUD design examples - Scott

These examples of HUD design, a few examples here took up too much room for our game, given that there was very little in the first place to put into the HUD. After receiving feedback I then experimented with using far smaller areas of space on the HUD, so not to distract the player and focus on the parkour.

Level Update

Car Progress

jen_walk_cycle

Altered mo-cap data to loop on contact points needed to begin walking animation. Need Mark's help to remove movement on the grid and attach data to control rig. - James

Run Animation

HUD research - Scott

Looking into different games examples of their HUD design. Looked mainly into racing games as they would probably be the HUD that ours would be most similar to; a timer, speed counter (possibly) and other in-game  mechanics. Also looked into other game examples like Dead Space which makes use of the space it has by having the HUD be an actual part of the characters model.

Containers Finished
