Aerial Ropeway in a World Heritage Environment Project
I believe our group made a great great result for this project which should satisfy our clients' need. For this presentation，we take about 4 parts includes history， environment， our client and our project. According to video， we point out 6 clear needs. Then we take about our project how to connect client needs. Our presentation is really clear and easy to understand. But our video is little bit too long. Also russell mention we need to put more tree on lanscape.

(7/10)

Driving Machine Project
They did really good for knowledge capture. But they get fail for client satisfaction, i did get point what client need. Some people need to improve speaking skill, i totally did not get what he want to say. But really surprise about playing part. But as my point, the car model too simply and fuzziness.
(6/10)

Marker Project
For the their presentation, they did really good for knowledge capture, but they get fail for client satisfaction and repeatability. To be honest, i like their design and thinking which is really good. This design is not legal in Australia, because it can not put light near highway which can effect traffic light.
(5/10)

Oculus Project
They did outstanding presentation which is well thoughtout, cohesive and well planned. They explain full process and why. Also they did really good for client satisfaction. I like the model they did and texture about model.
(9/10)

Virtual Museum Project
I think they do really good for presentation. The ipad model is really impress me, but it is little bit diffcult to play.
Every member explained their part perfectly. For their project they should create a virtual museum in UE4. But they did not use UE4 which effect quality of model.

2) Create New Folder (Called Countryside) In Left Bottom

3) Click Import Bottom And Import Content Floder Pop Up

4) Recreate Countryside Folder and Open Folder

5) Copy Download Countryside file to New Countryside Folder

6）Then All Files Show In Unreal Engine 4

Plus

This week i went to French Forest Graphsoft office to get file from Shaun. Then i create a Dropbox account upload all 3D max file.

Week 7 Research Free/Cheap Geometry And Presentation Notes

My task for this week is doing research free/cheap geometry.

(Free Geometry From UE4)

Open World Demo Collection

Mixamo Animation Pack

Game Texture Material Pack

Scifi Hallway

Substance Atlantis

Animation Starter Pack

Kinect 4 Unreal Introduction

Kenney.nl Platformer

Allegorithmic Gynoid

Xoio Berlin Flat

(Cheap Geometry From UE4) - can use in Aerial Ropeway Enviroment
Real Rocks Vol. 1
Background Mountains
Low Poly Foliage Jungle Pack
Country Side
Landscape Material Pack

I find it is really hard to find suitable free or cheap geomertry in UE4 marketplace. Then i try search online to find free content package. Finally i get 4 free content package in chinese website after few hour search.

Remuneration Exercise (20 PRESENTATION)
Explain the concept in a general way but relate it to the project
Come up with:
-Priority list
-Time frame
-Break down to different/crucial roles.
-Understand over heads (you may be paid 40/hour but the company may charge out more/-
insurance etc) CHARGE OUT RATE.
CHARGE WHAT and WHY
Generally, look at variables (eg change of direction half way through: Give example through case
studies)
Give VALUE to the work you are doing
Cost estimate/quote
How many hours it’ll take
What sort of costs -Not just a blanket hourly rate
Key Aspects of project
Administration
Modelling
Fabrication (all different rates)
General notes on other presentations from Russell
Specificity is KEY and make sure to connect to our project. This is crucial.
In a collaboration each member should know what their crucial roles are.

Plus：
I contact last year Aerial Ropeway group to get last year model continue work on environment.

Last year group has 5 group member.

Roschelle Gonzales: She don't have file anymore.
Jesharelah Alayan Yolola：She put all files in a USB but she can't find it。
Paul Zcc：He didn't reply my message.

Week 6 Mid Semester Break

Creating a quick Unreal Engine 4 desert scene

Creating a quick Unreal Engine 4 forest scene

Creating a quick Unreal Engine 4 Cave Entrance Scene

Creating a quick Unreal Engine 4 Mountain environment

During the mid semester break, i watch some unreal engine 4 tutorial. After i watch all tutorial i have better understanding about Unreal Engine 4. Comparing Cryengine and Unreal Engine 4, Unreal Engine 4 is more realistic and powerful. Last video, i think we can use to create blue mountain environment.
