So this week is Summer Break at Full Sail, and I am in the office at Matty-Matt’s desk. Matty-Matt is the course director for one of the classes here at Full Sail but he’s on vacation this week so I am borrowing his cubicle to try to get as much work done as possible. The break is more for students as we have to spend the week updating course curriculum and assignments. We do have Friday off to fully enjoy Independence Day weekend, but man do I have much work to do!
- Re-write the Camera, Frustum, and Scene Management lab assignments of Engine Development 1 to be glut-free and in one project that the students will add to throughout the course.
- Add Bounding Volume Generation task to Scene Management part of assignment to generate volumes for geometry rendered away from origin, to improve sorting.
- Make sure said project and it’s base code is adaptable for ED1 course director to implement Bounding Volume Hierarchies with terrain as part of the project.
- Finish Real Time Animation’s animation viewer for exported animations from the Animation Exporter lab assignment.
- Finish RTA’s Animation State Machine lab assignment.
- Unify math libraries for student use in RTA and ED1.
- Create new standard lab assignment manuals for OpenGL and Real Time Animation.
- Start RTA Animation blending?
- Annual review with boss
- Shoot self in face because there’s no way I’ll get all of this done during the break.
Wish me luck!
On a separate note, I recieved a specially made pin to celebrate my employment at Full Sail University for five years. It even has my name on it! Go me!
