Week 6: Post 1

Well today we have good news and also bad news. The good news is that I completed another nature environment today. This environment looks far superior to the other ones that I have created and I'm quite proud of what I have made because it looks really realistic. I believe it's going to be the one that I'm going to use to run participants in. The bad news is that if I'm still going to do my non photorealistic environment I'm going to have to change some of the aspects of the one I just created. This is because some of the assets I used were made with atlases, which are basically just pictures of things. I was going to use cel shading for the non realistic effect but I don't believe that there is a way for me to use cel shading on atlases. So this has me left to decide what I want to do. I can either use different assets all together or I can find a different way to get the same effect. I'm really not sure which one would be easier in this case.

Another thing is, Vicki is supposed to be coming in tomorrow to talk with us. And if she changes her mind again I won't have to worry about the cel shading issue. On the other hand, this also means that I have to worry about doing a new topic. Considering that we are in the sixth week of the internship I would really hope that she wouldn't completely scrap the other idea and honestly I would be quite upset if that happened. If it does happen, I will really need her help with it considering that we would then be on a time crunch. I'm going to talk with her tomorrow and hopefully figure something out.
