Modeling scene

Modeling scene

Modelling more of the scene adding a ferris wheel for in the background scene shot. The size that i have ended up modeling as seems to be about right with how big the stall that has been modeled by me.

Broke down the key steps of hoping and how the body moves and looks before making the blendshape of my character and driven keys. found out some problems with using driven keys with blend shapes as when more then one is used the mesh or character gets warped. 



Email notifier

Email notifier



Computer program cheeking every few seconds for emails coming into the inbox. when one is detected it talks to arduino sending messages through to turn on the buzzer and leds.

Driven keys

Driven keys


Have started out pumping out lots of driven keys for different things of my character.
Torso bending forwards at the abbs and bending backwards. bending to the sides with the stand.




Changed idea.

Idea change

So ended up looking at an email notifier as the communication of my last idea wasn't the best. 
I will have a device make sound and light up led/leds when an email has been sent to the users inbox.

Place where ATtinys can be purchased not sure is 85 or 45 is needed. Thesw would let the communication between leds and also the speaker from the arduino. Also another link that is for mics to the arduino. Can buy these or also find information online to make your own.

What i want to do with the led throwies is have something that communicates betweens a few of them and when they detect sound the would light up. I have the idea of putting them in a dark alley way where not much sound is detected.

After talking to a tutor i got given the idea of outputting a sound as well as the leds lighting up. The sound would be something random. Could be something that people would find soothing or exciting. It goes completely against the environment that it's placed in.
