UGH!!! It was another rough week. I focused on my final project and adding detail to my game. I drew out some new walk cycle animations with the help of Maya and Arnold's toon shader. I also used Marvelous Designer for cloth simulation. Once I got the walk cycle and an enemy (Fire Hydrant) into my game I was trying my best to get collision working. The problem was that I was dealing with 2D images in 3D space. I didn’t care about the collision on the Y axis. I just cared about the X and Z. So the problem was that the function Distance didn’t work because for the Z axis in was to large and would create a collision for object ahead of the player. I calculated the each of the objects xyz location and tried to do an If statement and it would only do Z or X but not both. UGH!! I spent hours on that. But for the assignment I used a book text that is changing the building height by the word variation. I always struggle to finish and sometimes it's hard to predict how long a problem is going to be to solve. I’ll have to work on the collision more later. The building on the side are not part of my artistic goal. I want a hand drawing feeling.
