Submission

In Week 10, we rendered the café scene, but encountered bugs with the character.

I experimented with Unreal Engine Blueprints to fix the issue, and successfully resolved it. In the end, we completed the café scene and finished the final editing.

Final crit

In Week 9, we completed the rendering of the lab scene.

We also attempted facial capture for the café scene, but encountered issues with MetaHuman rigging, which resulted in a failed setup. I may revisit and try facial capture again in the future.

Group work

In Week 8, I encountered issues with the character rig in Unreal Engine.

To solve this, I asked Rose for guidance and learned how to rig the skeleton in Maya and export the animation back into Unreal Engine.

Croup work

In Week 7, we completed our motion capture shoots.

We recorded the remaining sequences, downloaded the motion data, and tested them in real-time software such as Unreal Engine to understand timing and scene setup.

I also retargeted the motion data onto the characters in Unreal Engine.

Group work

 Week 6, we started building our environments and assets.

We created scene elements using a combination of online resources and original models, and focused on adjusting textures to match the overall tone of the project.
