Assignment 4 was really the one where I have started working on my final project and the skeleton of the final project has started taking shape. I utilized the assignment to dig further in Mecanim Animator component in unity, scripting, effects, controllers as well as making models in Fuse.

I created protagonist of my story using Fuse. He is a regular dude with a penchant for space exploration and goes by the name of 'Shiva' (at least thats what I am calling him for now). He lands on this planet called as PK300 in Andromeda Galaxy and a major part of the story is for him to be collecting this precious rock called as Bangdust. I was able to create the premise for the final project thanks to the book "Slay the dragon" which I finished reading a couple of weeks ago.

In this assignment I created Shiva in fuse and added a lot of animations to him using Mixamo. Imported him in the project and added a custom controller to him. There are two animations on him currently: 1) breathing idle 2) Swagger walk. I then added pickups in the scene 'bangdust'. For now I am substituting the precious rock with cubes. There is a particle effect that takes place once Shiva collects the cube. At the end of the pickup line is a hut which is where a trader will waiting for Shiva. When Shiva reaches him a conversation between them ensue which will set the stage for the rest of the story. This is literally going to be the first scene of my project and this assignment has set the stage for the foundations. I have already started working on the trader and writing his dialogues.
