Supervisor Tutorial 4: Panoramic

Today I had a tutorial with my Supervisor, Daniel.

I informed him that I wanted to create a cutscene which would play just before the game starts.

I also gave described to him how it would look and what the cutscenes main purpose was.

We came to the conclusion that by having a rotated panoramic view of the room, this would help to easily animate looking around the room.

Daniel suggested to take a look at Quicktime VR, which a very similar tool that helps to create panoramic views of pictures. Since the tool is old and has not been updated we decided that even though this tool is similar it would be best to steer clear from it.

I also informed Daniel of an add on for Google Sketchup called Vray which helps the rending of 3D objects look much more professional and realistic. Whilst I do not yet have a need for this, nor do I think I will, it's useful to have an open mind on the possibilities a tool like this could bring to this artefact or a project in the future.
