Our final project has been to make an interactive .swf that ties in with our previous projects.
For my project, I decided to create the environment of my Project 3 character, Commander Slate.
the .swf starts in Slate's spaceship, heading towards the planet of the story, Acanthus.
In the shapeship, there are many things that the audience can click on and interact with.
So far, i have come up with a few problems:
1. ive realised that to make this really comprehensive, it'll take a LOT of work
2. not sure how to incorporate more of the storyline into the project.
3. putting more than one interaction a button.
4. no idea how to put sound in

Project 3 - Walk Cycle
Our next project for MMD1302 is to create a walk-cycle in Flash, using the character that we designed in Project 2.
Firstly, i started off by looking up some existing walk-cycles, on the internet; through Google Images and Youtube. The research I came up with allowed me to then draw on a piece of paper each frame of a walk cycle.
Once I had figured out a rough walk-cycle on paper. I then create a basic stick-figure in Flash.
It turned out to be a run-cycle.
I then put another layer over the first run-cycle, so that it looked more realistic
I then went back to the start, because I wasn't happy with the run-cycle. I took a bit more time to create a 'marching soldier' walk-cycle.
From there, i tweaked the movement a little, to perfect it. Then added more layers on top of the original, such as detailed arms and legs, clothing and armour.
In this week's class (1/9/2010), we will be adding in the environment around the character.
I have already been playing around with moving mountains in the background and grass in the foreground. But nothing that I really want to keep in the final submission.

Project 2 - Character Design
Project 2 - Character Design
Second project is to create a unique character, based on the world that we have just created.
I have decided to create a human character.
Physiology:
age: 28
gender: male
eye colour: green
hair colour: brown
body shape: athletic
health: very fit and healthy
Psychology:
beliefs: he believes in the progression of the human race. Believes in peace.
values: Wants to live happily with his wife and child. Doesn't do things without thinking first.
neuroses: Doesn't like killing. which is a dilemma, because he is a soldier.
complexes: Doesn't want to disobey orders to kill the inhabitants of Acanthus. He just wants to protect his family.
Sociology:
social status: He is part of the space community of humans. The ancestors of the original humans that left Acanthus many years ago.
Because of their situation, everyone living in space must excercise to be in peak physical and mental condition.
In the spaceship, a big focus is placed on education. Therefore, every human has been educated and is quite intelligent. Yet some are smarter than others.

World Design
Project 1 - World Design
For this project, it is a group assignment where we have to create a fictional world.
My group is Tarn, Mei, Khadija and Harris(myself).
The world is called Acanthus. Humans used to live there, but after a disease broke out, many left the planet in spaceships.
The remaining inhabitants, that did not die from the disease, evolved into subspecies, which took on elemental properties.
Many years later, the humans from space returned to Acanthus. They crash landed, which created a crater in the earth that uncovered a portion of the old city, which over time, had been overgrown.
Confusion ensues and a war breaks out. Who will win?
We are presenting 4 A2 posters: environment, mood board, history and characters.
Each of us will complete one.
History: khadija
Environment: Tarn
Mood Board: Mei
Characters: Harris
