14th of Dec



Things to try:
  • putting controllers under one hand parent, would this affect the transform?
  • having just one set of handmodels
  • start building the scene
  • Look into why mirrored rigid hands are so muddled up

Texturing Hands

Texturing the 3D Hands The purpose of texturing the box was so that eventually I could move on to texturing realistic hands.  The first issue I had was that Leap Motion export their prefabs in the ASCII format of .fbx (i'm guessing because it's human readable?) and Blender doesn't allow importing of ASCII file so I had to convert to a Binary file using an external application.  After importing it into Blender I realized there was something called Armature which I hadn't heard of before and as I started reading I figured it would help to look a little bit into how animation works so I could understand the Leap Motion documentation a little bit better. Leap Motion uses something called Skeletal Animation for their hand prefabs. When using this method we split the character object (in this case hands) into two parts, the skin/mesh and the interconnected bones/rig. The bones are connected in a hierarchy so that when you move for example the tip of the fin...

Table mounted version PT II

Just a short update post today :) Note: I'm not sure if what I've done today is correct but this is the path that I went down that seems to be working. So because I couldn't work out how to change the origin point (set (0,0,0) to a specific point in the real world) I used the HMD to chose a point. I did this by putting the HMD in a specific point in the real world and checking the position of the center eye camera. Not sure if the centre eye camera is the best one to use though as I'm not sure where exactly on the HMD it was located. Anyway as a starting point I went with this and took the position  as (0,-0.4,0.24). Using this I attempted to account for the location of the camera by subtracting half of the HMD height which left me with a real world position (x marked on my desk) and it's Unity coordinates. Using this point I measured the position of the sensor away from the point and placed a gameobject representation of the sensor in the scene. The main is...
