Since I came from school of software engineering, I have already learned some programming languages except C#. Therefore, I decided to choose advanced Unity 3D game programming class on lynda.com as my independent study. With my CS background, the grammar is easy to understand for me. I have tried several functions introduced in the video and most of the time, it worked really well. I just felt regretful that I did not choose Unity as my final project, otherwise I could have use what I have learned in the project....

Assignment7 nan sun from Nan Sun

Link: https://youtu.be/8FajLy1XkKg This time we learn how to put a model from mixamo in our scene. I feel confused about how to trigger the moving from one position to the other one. Having asked other students for help, I finally figured out how to do it. It was really interesting to work on such an assignment.

Except the Whale model that we used in the class works very well, animations in other models can not be triggered successfully. We have talked about the problem and tried different models for three days and there is no solution to the problem. I saw other students assignments. Some of them have the same issue while some of the assignments seem really cool. Hope we can...

It is really a pity for me to make the assignment in such a short period of time, otherwise I can put more elements in the environment. Definitely, I met some trouble when working on the assignment. For my skybox, the first one I downloaded can not be found in the lighting settings. Other classmates reflected the same issue. Besides, I feel confused about the directional light because there is a default one in...

Oringal blog of Shuran Huang: http://www.vrstorytelling.org/assignment-3-shuran-huang/ Video link: https://youtu.be/xMn21GbOdBs For our 360 video teamwork, we experienced a really good time. We first went to Landmark Theater but we were not allowed to shoot due to the Disney Production. Then we came up with a new topic for 360 wedding ceremony. Since the ceremony was held by Shuran’s friend, it was not convenient for Julian and I to shoot with Shuran together. Thus we were responsible for the editing work. It was my first time to use this software so I...

Have you ever played Pro Evolution Soccer which is a very popular soccer game on Play Station? In this game,  we can control players of one team against the other team. And there is a special camera type called player, which provides a player’s perspective to make you feel you are playing in this game. The game inspired me about the concept of our 360 video pitch. Even if you are sitting in the substitute’s bench,  you can not empathize with the attackers or defenders. Therefore, I would like to...
