Alright guys. I'm having massive problems trying to unwrap the UV's of my models in Maya. I feel bad asking but would anyone be able to do them for me as they are a real pain in the arse.

Cheers.

I've taken a look at the list of items we need to make for the SU and given it a small plan out. We'll be doing this week by week  monday to friday giving us a break at the weekend, this does mean we are going to have to stick tight to the plan.

Monday - Thursday each weekend models and textures will be made and put into a unity project.
Friday all come together and see how everything is going.

The work is get split up as even as I can make it, taking into account people want to try doing other things.

Atm

Was just having a play around with Unity and particle effects to make the ATM spray £10 notes, going to work on having this play when a button is pressed a few times then stop.

Student Union

Rightio, here's a list of all the stuff I thought we need to cover, if there's anything else you can think of just add it in :)

Student Union:
Plans for it/ measurements

Basic shell of the building
Stairs and wheelchair lift
Doors: Sliding entrance, toilet, kitchen, SU evening entrance and student services entrance
Vending machines
ATM
Tables
Chairs and sofas
Bar area: Shutters down
Chillers
Catering area: Lighting, if time, food to have in area?
Pool tables
Lighting: Stage lights, strip neon , christmas tree lights and hanging ceiling lights
TVs
Stage
Decor - Posters, stickers, glass dividing walls
Costa (shutters down)
And possibly if we have time, some simple characters just sitting down that don't have to be animated

Character/Vehicle/Tree: So far the ideas have been one of the dinner ladies on a segway and a christmas tree, we'll need some concept art for atleast the character and tree/tree decorations before modelling.

Interactivity:
Few ideas so far:
ATM spews forth money when you press a button on it
Interactive pool table, maybe push around the balls on the table, or be able to pick up a cue and play a small game
TVs that can play video clips
Lights: Be able to turn off main lights and switch to stage lights for a ''night time'' SU, if we have time, maybe add some characters that could dance near/on the stage.
Sound: Background music that can change depending on if it's night or day, plus ones for the chillers, vending machines, pool table interactions, ATM, food sizzling, toilets if you walk near them, sliding doors, chatter aswell.
Maybe be able to pull a pint at the bar?
Use the wheelchair lift
Have the toilets closed off but puddles coming from underneath the doors you can splash in
Grab food (food fight?)
Segway (jump on and off, move around SU)

If everyone chooses something they want to do or what they feel more comfortable with doing, we can section this out and start setting deadlines for models and coding interactions in Unity, we'll also need to think about textures.
