Group 4

Creating a Problem Solving System in UE4 (2/2)

Another aspect we wanted to have in our game was getting the player to move around and explore the space. To achieve this, we thought one of the challenges would involve the player needing to find all keys to unlock a door. This will allow the…

Creating a Problem Solving System in UE4 (1/2)

One of the ideas that we talked to Barry about was the player needed to find a light source. They would find (or be given) a torch and would then have to find the battery for the torch to be have better vision of the surrounding area.

Meeting with the Tutors and using the Visualisation Tool

On Tuesday the 28th of March we met with Barry and Shanny at BVN to get feedback on our progress as they were not able to attend the previous lesson.

Creating A Visualisation Tool (2/2)

The next stage of this prototype involves the use of Blueprint scripting to add functionality to the tool. The two main features of this tool are:

• Easily visualising multiple design options
• Changing materials of the…

Creating a Visualisation Tool (1/2)

Utilizing VR tools to visualize designs at a 1:1 scale can prove to be extremely useful when altering dimensions and observing how the structure relates to its surrounding context. Ensuring the context is to scale and of a high quality makes it easy to insert and…

Week 4 | Developing an idea

Initially, as a group we were struggling of thinking about how we would collaborate with other teams since VR is almost in it’s own world and won’t be a physical feature of the pavilion. After consulting tutors, we realised that VR could be an extremely useful tool in visualising…

Week 3 | Researching and Applying a Common Theme

Collaborating with different groups is essential when working towards a common goal. Having an overarching theme will allow all groups to bounce ideas off each other as well as achieving a more cohesive end result.

Week 2 | Developing a Prototype

The goal of my prototype was to show a simple objective system in Unreal Engine 4 and also add some basic user interaction in a scene. I looked at examples of some RPGs (Role Playing Games), as well as some VR job simulators because they showcase intuitive controls and how…

Week 1 | Visualizing the Pavilion Performance

Our main objective as a group is to create a native VR experience that effectively visualizes the final pavilion at a high quality. To create a native VR experience, multiple factors need to be fulfilled in order to have a successful scene. These…
