IVE: User Interface

And the madness begins!

My deadlines were nailed together like machine gun fire this year. As soon as one get done and handed in, another is shot at me. And it's getting harder to dodge these bullets.

Since I've been focussing on my 3dsMax work (which I'm currently working on getting into Flash so I can upload it here...), I've had no time to get back into Unreal. And now the deadline for Interactive Virtual Environments (where the assignment is to build a mod to teach Key Stage 1 students according to the English National Curriculum...) is creeping up.

We're talking 30 hours away... And I've got an entire programming language to learn!
Still. My artistic side gets to shine. If I can do anything in Unreal, I can get an environment looking fairly pretty. Can't quite get KARMA to work, but I've managed to import some of my own meshes (dig the modern art scuplture in the middle! ), and quickly respray the default textures from the freeware models to make them robots (See, I'm making a Robot Factory where the kids have to count the shipments, and add them up and subtract them... Work with me here).

Lets hope I can get the rest of the project working! This will be able to work on the freeware version of the Unreal2Runtime engine when I'm done (which is worth learning... Unreal's pretty keen, but does lack help files and can crash on you at a moment's notice). Currently though, it's writing files in notepad, compiling them into the engine, debugging the errors and recompiling and testing... Fun fun fun...
