Ski Slope Simulator

-What are your overall feelings on your project? Are you pleased, disappointed, etc.? Overall I was pleased with the outcome of the project. After working on the two ski simulator demos this semester, I feel …

This week I finished up the holiday demo. I finished making and placing obstacles, put coins throughout the mountain, and made the trees look slightly more consistent after playing around with the shaders. Some things …

This week I added moving penguins to the hill that walk around and collide with the user and a medal system for when the user collects coins. I also made a light post model, made …

This week I placed more coins, improved the quality of particle systems, made the skis turn in the direction of the user’s motion, and created some more models. I made a gingerbread man, a penguin, …

This week I focused on finishing the toy soldiers and adding them to the simulator. I also made some simple building models and textures for the bottom of the hill. I added some large snowmen …

This week I worked on generating some plots for the research paper. I created some bootstrap confidence intervals for all 7 questions in the survey and also made a scatterplot matrix to potentially show correlations …

This week I found a few sources for the research paper. One source was particularly relevant since it was a study on the relation between motor skills and a different ski simulator design. I also …

This week I worked on separating the obstacles from the original mountain model and placed them into the terrain. I also worked on smoothing the terrain a bit more. I looked into making the impostors …

This week I made a new terrain object for the Holiday Demo. The new terrain is one 10000×10000 terrain object. I’m not sure why the terrain suddenly started allowing larger dimensions, but it seems to …

This week I finished the Science Fest demo. I added some more coins/trees, added some point lights and particle systems to the tunnel on the right side, added some point lights to the ring of …
