Catalogue, Sound Effects, JSON for Instructions

This week I updated the image for the catalogue and added it to the Living Room environment as an image plane (~2hrs). I am currently adding smaller clickable planes on top of it to represent the different furniture options to choose to build. A screenshot of this can be seen below.


I also looked for some sound effects to use for user feedback (~2hrs) when pieces are combined together correctly, incorrectly, pieces are dropped, etc. These sound files have been added to the shared drive and will be implemented in the code in the next few days.

Some example sounds can be listened to at the following links:
I also worked on adding JSON for the builder.js and finder.js files to store the required information for the instructions (~1hr). An example of how I set up the data is shown in the screenshots below. However, a function still needs to be written for the actual progression of the instruction steps.

The instructions JSON for the Warehouse environment requires extra information about the quantities of pieces.


The instructions JSON for the Living Room environment requires extra information about the number of snaps that will be expected given the pieces added to the scene.


Other items I will be working on in the next few days include adding solid walls to the Warehouse environment, creating a function for firing furniture IDs on click for the catalogue (to start the instructions steps), and playing sound effects on events.

[WEEK 6] Back from Reading Week

We got back from Reading Week and reviewed what each of us accomplished. Expected deliverables for this week include: moodboards for the Living Room and the Warehouse, basic recolouring for the Living Room, a completed final Warehouse environment, and a working spawning objects prototype.

Controllers and Game-state Management

The two issues I worked on this past week were getting game-pad controllers working with our project (~6 hours), and general work on the game-state systems to iron out some of the kinks and add some more functionality (~3-4 hours).  Unfortunately neither of these tasks proved 100% successful due to some set backs. The game-pad controllers are so close to working, movement and look controls are fully functional, but I cannot get the Super Hands components to pick up the button events from aframe-extras.  The easiest way to see this is by looking at some code: <!-- Camera --> <a -entity id= "rig" movement-controls position= "0 0 0" > <a -entity id= "camera" camera wasd-controls= "acceleration: 125" look-controls= "pointerLockEnabled:true" position= "0 1.6 0" capture-mouse st...

Sprint 2 - 3D Modelling the Environments

This week's focus has mainly been on writing the design document and preparing for the alpha prototype (~2hrs). A great majority of the written sections in our proposal is complete while a large chunk of graphics remains to be developed in the coming week. The sooner the design document is complete, the better of an idea we have in how the project will turn out in the end.  On my end, I am responsible for 3D modelling the environments that will be used in the alpha demo. These are also necessary for producing design comps. The environments will be very low poly environments using primitive shapes and basic forms to form the rooms, nothing too extravagant. Below are a few screenshots of the environments in their current state: Living Room (~3hrs) that will be played in VR and the Warehouse (~4hrs) on desktop; all modelled in Maya.
