We were\nlooking through the feedback from Softs to see what was technically feasible\ngiven our limited time and scope. Luckily for us, it seemed that we would be\nable to implement just about all of the points that the faculty brought up, due\nto the fact that the work could be split up to individual team members. Aurora,\nour artist had some concept art left over from the start of the project to\ncreate a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> portal. During the environment set design stage, we had\noriginally had the idea of having stanchions pop up to direct a line of ghosts.\nWhile this was cut after our first round of scope discussions, some of the bone\nassets remained in our arsenal. Therefore, we were able to quickly create and\nmodel the following portal as our neutral \u201cholding cell\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/artales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3rdportal-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/artales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3rdportal-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/artales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3rdportal-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/artales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3rdportal-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/artales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3rdportal-1600x1131.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>a more neutral 3rd portal from which characters enter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Wenyu our programmer\ntested a couple of different sizing examples of all of our portals to make sure\nthat they have a better fit within the FOV. We gave the guest the option to sit\nduring the experience. This brought the table plane and the portal wall plane\nmore into the same field of view. The changes to sizing and adjustment of view\nareas strongly reduced the vertical distance necessary to explore the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nidhi our animator was able to\nspend some time fine tuning the character animations to better match the voice\novers. Kristian the sound designer added some audio details pertaining to the\ncharacters being sucked into the portals. A faculty member wanted to have that\nparticular moment have more weight, so audio effects such as reverb and delay\nwere automated into help with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of these elements in\nplace, fine tuning character entrance\/exit timings was all that was left to do.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final game-play video for the Redemption Department will be uploaded to the website, and we will commence preparations for our final presentations.
