Milestones

Thesis Year - Blog Post 9

With the support drafts done, I am using this week to do a pass on them (for corrections, grammar, etc.). Next week I hope to start work on the Thesis intro (abstract), an important piece that will hopefully prove easier than the support points themselves. I will also begin submitting SP drafts to Clark’s Writing Center so they may look over them too.

Project Milestones Fall 2021

1. Museum Environment Modeled/Textured

2. Significant amount of assets within environment modeled/textured (at least modeled)

3. A rough demo (either with Museum Environment, or stock environment) that can be played with VR headset and controller.

4. Preliminary Audio (sfx, possible music as well) and Writing Work (for installations) completed/in-progress.

Project-side, Sprint 4 has ended. You can see sprint slides here. Above are the 4 milestones for the semester. With 4 more real weeks to go, Milestone 3 is finished (VR test scene), I think we are on track to seeing Milestone 1 complete before Thanksgiving (Museum environment), Milestone 4 (audio/writing) should also be complete prior to the end of the semester. As for Milestone 2, I think we’ll get close (maybe half of the installations will be done), but I will need to put in extra work during holiday break to meet the goal and start next semester on the right foot (it shouldn’t take too long to make a couple of installations, and other basic models like plaques, the start of January… hopefully, otherwise I’ll reevaluate scope prior to next semester starting).
