GAME ENGINES IN PRACTICE

HI ALL: TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CLIP...http://www.vimeo.com/1334209

IT'S FROM A RECENT GRADUATE AND A STUDENT WHO IS IN FINAL YEAR AT THE MOMENT. THEY ARE USING VIDEO CAPTURED WHILE WALKING AROUND IN A REAL TIME ENVIRONMENT MUCH LIKE THE ONE'S YOU HAVE ALL BEEN CREATING THIS SEMESTER. IN THEIR WORDS:

"We did a real time presentation for a house in Mosman. They loved it – walked away saying how good the presentation was compared to looking at pieces of paper. Even their 10 year daughter could understand the building."

A SMALL DISTRACTION

HI ALL, WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A BREAK FROM YOUR STUDIES TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CLIP. IT'S SHOWING THE 5 COMPETITION FINALISTS FOR A SKYSCRAPER IN PARIS.





HALF OF THE PRESENTATIONS ARE IN FRENCH BUT THERE ARE SUBTITLES.

EXTENSION FOR EXP3

HI ALL, FOLLOWING THE STUDENT REP MEETING YESTERDAY WE HAVE AGREED ON AN EXTENSION FOR EXP3 UNTIL MIDNIGHT FRIDAY JUNE 20TH.

IN PART THIS IS TO AVOID A CLASH FOR OUR ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS ON THE 16TH.

CHEERS

MOVER TUTORIALS FOR UT2004 AND SOME ADVICE

1. THIS LINK HAS SOME GOOD INFO REGARDING MOVERS IN UT2004: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Mover_Topics

2. IF YOU WANT YOUR IMPORTED STATIC MESHES (FROM SKETCHUP) TO HAVE MULTIPLE MATERIALS THEN YOU WILL NEED TO BREAK THE SKETCHUP MODEL INTO PARTS THAT REFLECT EACH SEPARATE MATERIAL AND THEN EXPORT AND IMPORT THEM SEPARATELY. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS A FEW TIMES IT DOESN'T TAKE VERY LONG AT ALL. USE THE ATTACHING ACTORS PART OF THE TUTORIALS ABOVE TO ATTACH THE VARIOUS PARTS BACK TOGETHER IF YOU WANT THEM ALL TO MOVE (I.E. YOU WANT YOUR ELEVATOR TO HAVE MULTIPLE MATERIALS).

3. THE IMAGES BELOW SHOW THE STEPS YOU GO THROUGH TO ASSIGN A MATERIAL TO A STATIC MESH IF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO SELECT ONE BEFORE YOU IMPORTED IT FROM SKETCHUP, OR YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE IT ONCE IN UT2004. STEP 1 SHOWS THE EXPANDED MATERIALS SLOTS ONCE YOU HAVE CLICKED ON THE LITTLE PLUS SIGNS NEXT TO THEM. BEFORE YOU DO STEP 3 SELECT YOUR NEW MATERIAL IN THE TEXTURE BROWSER. THE TEXTURE WONT APPEAR ON THE STATIC MESH UNTIL YOU HAVE UPDATED IT BY CLICKING IN THE 3D WINDOW, STEP 5.

PYRAMIDS FOR JP

JP (A STUDENT IN MY TUTORIAL GROUP) SPOKE ABOUT THE IDEA OF EQUALISING THE TWO CLIENTS OFFICES WHEN ONE WAS LOCATED ABOVE THE OTHER. THE IMAGE BELOW CAME TO MIND.

NO PLUGINS TAB IN SKETCHUP

HI, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PLUGINS TAB IN THE TOP MENU IN SKETCHUP (WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T EXPORT YOUR ELEVATOR) FOLLOW THESE STEPS...

GO TO THE WINDOW TAB > CHOOSE PREFERENCES > EXTENSIONS > AND CHECK THE "SHOW RUBY SCRIPT EXAMPLES" BOX > OK

NOW THE PLUGINS TAB WILL SHOW UP, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO SAVE THE EXPORT SCRIPT INTO THE PLUGINS FOLDER IN SKETCHUP BEFORE IT WILL SHOW UP UNDER THAT TAB AS AN OPTION... you can get the plugin from here:

http://www.russelllowe.com/tutorials_index.html

or from the ARCH1101 resource's drive.
