Because the plugin has also a class named Path, it resulted in conflicts and I had to rename one class.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frank &#8211; The \u201cragdolling\u201d effect required a \u2018dead replacement\u2019 technique, which was somewhat involved to implement, and the final product occasionally yields graphical glitches, most likely due to how the ragdolling wizard maps relationships between the colliders of different preset body parts, which did not map up 1:1 with the body parts of the asset.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Galen &#8211; My computer is becoming increasingly inadequate for development with Unity as the size of our project grows, I need access to a computer that\u2019s more powerful for longer periods of time then what is available in the lab.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Plans for the upcoming week<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This weekend we will get together to put all of our different pieces and achievements together and troubleshoot any problems that we come across. \u00a0Once we have the project finished and tested in the HTC Vive we can see if there is any last minute ideas that we want to incorporate. \u00a0We will make our video\/demo for our presentation on Tuesday and plan out everything we want to present. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>At least one piece of media related to your work<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/h9IJHZgkcME\/maxresdefault.jpg<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-865 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.32.28-PM.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-07-at-10-32-28-pm\" width=\"1161\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.32.28-PM.png 1161w, https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.32.28-PM-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.32.28-PM-768x282.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.32.28-PM-1024x376.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1161px) 100vw, 1161px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-866 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.34.04-PM.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-07-at-10-34-04-pm\" width=\"1157\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.34.04-PM.png 1157w, https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.34.04-PM-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.34.04-PM-768x279.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/vr2016\/files\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-07-at-10.34.04-PM-1024x373.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1157px) 100vw, 1157px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What each individual in the group worked on over the last week Caroline &#8211; I continued to work on the road and landscape for the week. \u00a0I started to work on the code for the opening view and drive through of the scenery before Tony &#8211; I worked on using the HTC Vive controls.
