Models for the scene

model of the hero

right one is the new ver. of the leg.

It seems OK when there is no colour...
However, after adding the colour it looks very...strange.

new ver.↓

After 2nd presentation...

after our 2nd presentation...we had a short meeting with Pang....below is the minute of that meeting...

- Fix the frame rate
- swinging the weapon (animated)
- the model animation need to be very accurate
(eg: walking needs how many seconds)
- build 1 or 2 models to import to the game 1st
(no need to build to many, make the game works 1st)
- the rolling star can assume it is a long fix chain (no need to divide the chain into many balls)
- 場景
- hit points (attacking of the monsters)
- monster die and disappear
- shadow of the 3d models - can do it in Maya
(jump then the shadow will become smaller)
- status page
- sound/music
- dialog - can be done in the later part

That's All~~
