It was very exciting to see The Cool Stuff Collective Ep7 air on ITV1 this saturday morning. It was also great because it was the best show yet.
\nFor my part of future tech blending Evolver<\/a> and Unity3d<\/a> was something I had in mind from the start, being software and easily accessible makes it doubly important both for kids and for the business I work in.
\nThe structure of the piece took a little bit of work in making a Sy, Tim at Evolver was very helpful in letting me have a few goes at exporting the characters I made. I had already got my army of the uncool rigged mesh but created a Sy and a slim me.
\n\"Cool<\/a>
\nThe animations I did in very quickly in a 3d package with some very quick tweening as that was quicker than doing the programatically in Unity, but the rest was all pure Unity3d.
\nIt wont win any awards for design, but got the point across I think.
\nI made it so that I could cam around Sy rather than make it a full FPS just to give us some filming options.
\nThe live version of the unity3d piece is here<\/a> if you are interested.
\nWe also had some special effects with Sy generating as a new Sy at the end of the piece \ud83d\ude42 The magic of TV
\n\"Cool<\/a>
\nTo avoid any of the hassles of direct web access in the studio I ended up doing a keynote slide show of the Evolver creation process and also due to “compliance” we are not allowed to show logos or say brand names too many times (as in the Lego shoot). Hence the blocked off areas in the slide show.
