Week 9

PROGRESS
CREATING AN APPLICATION

This week, I've already started to create the application by using Unity 3D and 3Ds Max. I"ve learned a lot about these two software since week 5 and I've admit it is not easier than what I think even anybody of us think. So here is the catch, I've started to download the Unity 3D version 3.4 on week 4 and here is the link of the website that allowed us to download the software for free.

LINK:

main website : unity3d.com





After that, I quickly installed 3D Max to create my modelling such as the city of Lebuh Acheh, Street Mosque, character, environment and much more.

3D Max


So here is some of the website that I've used to learned more about these two software.

Progress Week 7

Stage 3

Interface, Character

I have been played around with Unity software, 3ds Max, Bump Images software and honestly I'm still learning all the tutorial for this time being. But for now here are my ideas and most probably I will apply it on my application. Finger cross for this application and I hope the application can be run smoothly without any problems and I will try my best to make it to the level that I wanted this application to be.

(This is just an idea of my Home screen menu interface)

(been working out for this mosque and it seem like a lot of modification needed at this model)

(all the texture, structure will be improve as soon as possible)

(same goes to this character, need a lot of modification. still learning)



Progress Week 7

Stage 2

CONTENT RESEARCH

The Controversy of Acheen Street Mosque

-The controversy surrounding the conversation of the Acheen Street Mosque has apparently subsided. The phase one of the project is almost completed.

-In this past six months, the mosque has receive many local and foreign visitors including the Mayor of Adelaide,Australia, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, the French Ambassador to Malaysia and researchers from the United Kingdom.

-The conversation of the Acheen Street Mosque poses a great challenge to many,particularly those directly involved in the restoring the building.

-It exemplifies positive efforts by both the Federal and State Government in restoring the mosque and its surrounding properties as well as reviving the traditional and historical lifestyle and activities.

Specific Research

- The Acheen Street Mosque also known as Masjid Lebuh Acheh

-Founded by Tengku Syed Hussain Al-Aidid in 1808

-Entire complex is historically and architecturally important as it reflects the earliest Muslim urban community in Penang comprising of the Malays, Indian Muslims, Arabs and the Achehnese.

-The mosque as well as the surrounding properties have been endowed for religious and cultural purposed.

-In mid 1994, the Federal Government had allocated RM 3.5 million to the State Government through the Prime Minister's Department Penang for the conversation project of the mosque and its surrounding properties.

-The project is divided into two phases.

PHASE ONE

-In June 1995

-the restoration of the roof structures of the mosque and the mousoleum.

PHASE TWO

-In early 1996

-covers the restoration of the mosque and its surrounding properties including minaret, shop houses, and the town houses.

-some of the surrounding buildings including the town houses and shop houses will be converted into a gallery , Haj Museum, souvenir shops, Koranic school and culture centre.

RULES

How to play the application/Rules : The user of the application need to find all the checkpoint at the area of Lebuh Acheh and memorize it before the user can go to the next level. The model of Lebuh Acheh in this application is not the real Lebuh Acheh but slightly similar. Each of every checkpoint contains one information about the development of the Lebuh Acheh and the Street Mosque. All the checkpoint can be found in Lebuh Acheh's area. After the user go through all the checkpoint, they need to find a way to go to the Street Mosque. The environment of the Street Mosque also not the same as the real one but slightly similar to the Street Mosque. I will use somehow a forest and island environment. After they find the mosque, they need to answer all the question that will be given according to the information that they get from all the checkpoint before arrive at the mosque. The user can only win this application by answering all the question.

Progress Week 7

STAGE 1

Ideas Development

For this week, i manage myself to play around with Unity software. So here is some ideas development that i have made.

Concept Finalization

I'm gaining more and more when it comes to finalizing the island, character, environment and even the game play of this application. I'll be putting together a more comprehensive full specification later, but for now here is the update for my environment. So here we go, I decided to chose an environment of a island and forest to apply it on this application because as we know Pulau Pinang is a island and I just simply created a forest to make this application looks challenging.

(Unity-developing the environment)

(Unity-developing an ideas of this island)

As you guys see the figure above it shows that the forest or island is like 50% done. I will put a lot of house or a model of box to make that object as a place to find all of the information. The information most probably a glowing box or a character. The user need to identify which one have the information and that is the challenging parts.
