The third week of school has also
gone by fairly quickly, and for most of this week, I had worked on getting my
homework assignments done, especially the easy ones, in order to make the
deadline that is rapidly approaching. With only two weeks left until the easy
homework questions are due, I had to work hard on getting as many easy
questions done as fast as possible. During last Friday’s lab, I had
demonstrated my easy homework question #1 to my TA Daniel, and am glad that I have
at least 5 exp. I also tried to work on several other easy homework questions,
but those turned out to be harder than I had thought. Some of the easy
questions I had attempted to do included the robotic arm, the dynamic texture
billboard, and the tree (imposter and billboard) questions.

With these homework
questions, I had ran into some trouble creating a dynamic texture and getting
it to display my own texture, even with the help of one of the samples that
came with the TwoLoc engine. I also ran into trouble creating the robotic arm
and getting the position of each part of the arm to be correct, but after
seeing how other classmates have done it on their blogs, I might just have a
chance to get it working. The homework question that involves creating two
textured trees (one that is an imposter and the other a billboard) has also
been difficult, since I am still not 100% clear on how to create a textured tree
and turn it into an imposter or billboard. Hopefully by next week I will have
finished at least 4 easy homework questions, so that I can be on track and able
to write my midterm exam.

That’s
all for this week’s blog for engines, stay tuned for more updates next week!
