Here are previews of each animation. We plan to embed them as interactive feedback throughout the game\u2014for example, the idle animation will combine floating with the skirt waving; successfully eating a planet will trigger the happy turn-around; and losing will display the sad frown. These animations will help enhance immersion and make the game feel more lively and juicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 animation videos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UI<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with the last week&#8217;s wireframes, start to add artstyle to the UI elements. Aligning with the cartoonish style and the rounded character, and the space and universe style, I choose a cool color palette, including white, blue and greenish gray. Also, finally we get a name for our character: NOMU, since we are going to have the character eating planet, this name gives a feeling of \u201ceat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 9 During GDC week, the rest of the team continued working on the project, including facial expression mapping, IK setup for character animations, Level 2 design and implementation based on the last week block out, the landing page, and level selection UI. 3D: We\u2019re currently working on three animations for our character, including ghost [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175\/revisions\/177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/stringers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
