The team is gearing up to spend the next few weeks experimenting with two different cloth simulation workflows for the animation process. While initially exploring chaos physics within Unreal Engine, it was found to be somewhat unstable post-importing of the simulation mesh. As a result, the team opted to transition to an alternative pipeline, utilizing Marvelous Designer to craft the animation and then exporting it as an alembic file into Unreal Engine. However, the suitability of this workflow is still under scrutiny, especially considering the potentially large size of alembic files. Additionally, our VFX artist kicked off the week by diving into thunder prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"558\" height=\"707\" data-id=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-11_21-01-26.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-11_21-01-26.png 558w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-11_21-01-26-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-13_13-12-31-587x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-13_13-12-31-587x1024.png 587w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-13_13-12-31-172x300.png 172w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Snipaste_2024-03-13_13-12-31.png 658w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Recording-2024-03-25-at-9.46.26-AM.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-15-234306-1024x558.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-15-234306-1024x558.png 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-15-234306-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-15-234306-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-15-234306.png 1403w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before setting off on our excursion to the Game Developers Conference (GDC), where students immerse themselves in the latest industry insights and technologies, we&#8217;ve been hard at work ensuring&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":421,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions\/421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
