Recap of Week Seven: May 6th, 2021, 2021 - May 13th, 2021

Everyone's Progress

CJ Lin:

  • Improved shooting physics by fixing collider and re-centering basketball hoop in blender

Peter Michael:

  • Read research papers on how to get retargeting to work
  • Get started on implementing retargeting

Yan Zhe Ong:

  • Worked wit Jasmine develop a better shooting mechanics
  • Assisted Jasmine with debugging and implementing a method to move hoop

Jasmine Woon:

  • Worked with Yan develop a better shooting mechanics
  • Collaborated with Yan debugging and implementing a method to move hoop
  • Rigged a basic basketball player


Updates on Code

CJ has been working hard on improving the games physics of our app. Previously, we ran into the issue where some users will expereince the basketball going through the basketball hoop. We also had issues where the ball would oddly bounce off the backboard. Finally, we had issues where the ball would not fall through the net. CJ spent the week working on implementing these feedback into our app.

Better game physics

Jasmine and Yan has been working on allowing the user have the ability to move the hoop. Users can press the bumper of the controller and move their controller to where they want to place the hoop.

Updates on Ideas

Jasmine has been experimenting with rigging. She used this website to help her auto rig. After learning the basics to know how to auto rig, she plans to rig and apply texture in blender for the following basketball players: Steph Curry, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic.
