CS 699, week 9

Accomplishment:

This week we kept trying to let the UniCave prefabs work in the 3D scene project. For the courtyard project, we tried to add our monitor prefab under its playerController as its child in order to getting the position and rotation information. However, it seems that the UniCave prefabs will get confused about which cameras to be selected when there are more than one camera for different purposes. Therefore, we tried to delete some of unnecessary objects in Courtyard scene. Still, we have some unsolved problems of the UniCave prefabs, and we will try other simple 3D scene project like Tuscany next week if we cannot figure it out.

Challenges:

The courtyard scene has so many objects which are related with each other that it is challenging to figure out every object’s function and relation.  We try to delete unnecessary objects to make it simple and find the right position to add our monitor prefab to inherit the right position and rotation of camera.

Plan for next week:

  1. Try to realize the player controller mode in the tiled display system for Courtyard scene.
  2. If we can not figure it out, we will jump to Tuscany project and add the play controller by ourselves later.
