In Class Work:
This week Serra showed us some physics in UE5. We learnt how to make objects fracture upon impact, and how to constrain objects.
Project Progression
I bought the Apollo and Artemis rigs and, following the creators instructions, used a wrap deformer to attach the provided outfit to the rig. I’m planning on using Apollo for the main character, and I can use Artemis for one of the background characters. I have other rigs I would be happy with as the other background characters. I did however see on the Discord server for the Apollo and Artemis rigs that the creator, Ramon Arango, is going to be releasing six more rigs soon that look really cool. Depending on the timing of the release and the cost, I might buy these as well, both for the background characters on this project and for future projects.
I also finished my storyboard, and next will be taking pictures of the sketches and editing them into an animatic. I found music I like (link), and while I’m not certain I will use it for the final edit (mostly due to timing, but I could always edit the music also), I can at least use it as a stand-in for now.
