Assignment 4 -star explosion- Baiyu Gao


Story

I want to create a fictional scene and set up a story about a space adventure. Two robots had found a mysterious meteorite which may contain the remains of aliens. When astronomers are trying to analyze it and take samples, a star which seems to be exploding is approaching at an unexpected speed and may destroy the planet where astronomers are. The astronomers sent a drone to detect the speed of the star but it didn’t work because it seems that they can’t control it.

Facing with this situation, now the astronomers has two options: one is to leave the planet as quick as possible to save their life but they will lose the chance to analyze the meteorite, all their exploration becomes meaningless, and no scientific progress would be made; another option is to stay here until they finish sampling the meteorite but it means that they are under the risk of dying in the star explosion.

When the user moves around, he/she will hear the argument between astronomers about leave or stay. If he follows some astronomers, he can go into the space vehicle and the space stations to see more. He may also “communicate” with the two robots and find what their owner wants them to do. The astronomers will direct user’s attention at specific times.

What I did

It worked well to add different texture to terrain, place, rotate and enlarge the objects, and add the light. But a lot of assets that I wanted to use don’t work because of their version. And some assets which are supposed to work don’t appear in the “project” column and I can’t figure out the reason.

For the objects, I don’t know why my plane flies even though I didn’t set any track and I don’t know how to cut the sound of it (because even it flies into the star, it’s still droning). For the first person controller, I don’t know why it seems to be at a low position even I changed the height of it and it seems at the same height with astronomers. And my view moves smoothly in the exported file but it doesn't work well in the recorded video, and I don't know how to solve the problem. Moreover, I am wondering if I can let my objects move.

All in all, it is my first scene with unity and I really like it. Unity allows me to create as a “god”, which is very interesting.
