Collaborative unit: week 04 – Materials and Discussion
In the fourth meeting, our discussion focused on the storyboard and narrowing down the concept.
Firstly, I received the shared storyboard for MR, where we considered how to evoke thought after completing all the stages. We decided to insert a question, such as ‘Do you believe the plants based on AI will be real in the future?’ to represent our main concept to the user. Additionally, we explored how to visually present the plants generated by AI. Through this discussion, we concluded that an interface resembling a plexus shape with accompanying text highlighting the main keyword of the plants effectively communicates our concept.
I conducted a material test in Unity and, upon sharing the results, received feedback suggesting the inclusion of more concept details for each plant in the material. After testing three versions, I determined that detailed texturing requires UVs. As a result, I plan to unwrap all the UVs of the models, apply simple textures, and continue the material test in Unity.
The meeting concluded with a discussion on MR. Since we hadn’t checked the demo except for VR students, detailing the MR concept proved a bit challenging. To address this, we shared and discussed demo videos online, exploring additional functions. I am looking forward to seeing the first demo of our project next week.
