During the Thanksgiving break, I read the book Slay the Dragon: Writing great video games written by Robert Denton Bryant and Keith Giglio. It is a clear, concise and interesting guide for script writer, game developer, film producer and game lovers. It introduces game story writing from different aspects. It talked about the importance of story ideas, structure of video games, how to create a playable character, game design basics and method acting. One of my favorite part is about the similarities and differences between video and game. Before reading...

Assignment 8 -Shampoo-Baiyu by Baiyu.Gao on Sketchfab

I want the character to move from one astronomer to another and then move back. It works well. The only problem I met was that the Mixamo character walks too fast and I don't know how to change the speed.

I can't find any proper asset with animations for my last project "star explosion", so I started a new one. I set the treasure box as the only trigger to control three objects and set the sound for the treasure box. But I don't know why the sound is so low that I can hardly hear it, even though I set the sound to volume 1. And I don't know why the movements of my skeletons are not consistent.

The astronomers sent a drone to detect the speed of the star but it didn’t work because it seems that they can’t control it. Facing with this situation,...

Video link: https://youtu.be/8fm6SE6xgEE Team members: Alina Li, Baiyu Gao, Kanda Fang, Lillion Hunt, Shiyi Liu We filmed in a restroom without mirror in Newhouse. We discussed a lots of details before filming, for example, the position of camera, the walking path of the ghost, and how to knock the doors. The plot of  the girl washing hands was not in our original idea, but we wanted to draw people's attention and let audience turn around. We found a lot  problems when we were shotting: persons behind each door could not...

Baiyu Gao My story idea is to create a 360 video about apple-picking in Beak & Skiff Apple Hill Campus. I had been there on Saturday and I really enjoyed my time picking apples, walking around in the farm, drinking cider and shopping in the apple barn. This place is 18 miles away from our campus, so we need to drive about 25 minutes. But it is worthwhile! When I arrived there, I felt like I was entering to another world and when I started picking apples I suddenly forgot...
