Update #1

This week we began modeling the geometry of the mountain and run #1. We also found a Ski Lift model that we will further customize to use in our project, and found a cabin to use as a place holder until we have time to model our own. Moving forward, I plan to continue modeling run #2, and start modeling the cabin at the top of the mountain. In addition, we are trying to explore ways to make the snow on the ground look fluffy and realistic, as opposed to a flat, painted on surface.

During class on thursday, we created a very basic shape to explore movement up and down an inclined ramp on the LEL screen to test basic movement properties as they will be applied to our mountain scenario. We hope to continue to explore this, and continue working on copying portions of the programing code that we also started working on.
