It is CRAZY to be writing this post. I can’t believe that my first (and big!) project is completely done. I wish I’d taken original photos from the very beginning that way I’d be able to do a better before/after but I suppose those are notes for next time. Here’s the home page after the very first day or working to the final coded version:

And the Install page!

Chris & the admin that I met with said that the Appstore should go into testing sometime this week & would be put out for actual use next semester! HOW COOL! 🙂

Week of 11/5

This week I edited many photo IDs! I also sorted through 26 grad students’ studio portraits and selected the best images for their photo IDs.

I added documentation on Cascade for how to add an image to your profile from the COLA DB. Hopefully it’ll be helpful to Ms. Jamieson.

I also finished the coughing illustration for Russian. Both Kathy and Duo had that boyband member theme going on so I wanted to contribute to that as well. If they’re all members of the same band, they probably infected each other…

412K Washing Hands Animation Progress

Got some good work done on the handwashing animation this week as well! Using some of the water flow assets I had already created for the showering animation, I created running water for the sink (even though I already had many assets for this, animating it is still pretty brutal; elemental animation is tufffffff!) Click on them for the motion:

Then I added the hand movement:

 

 

Now I need to go back through and add the soap/water interaction. This is probably the most complicated part of the animation, so that’s why I saved it for last.

Made some progress on the shower animation today! I have added movement to the glasses guy in the shower. I wanted it to loop and I think I’m happy enough with the action to move on to finalizing the animation. Click on him to see him move!
