Its distinctive appearance and blinking red neon lights is almost never explained within the context of the universe it appears in.

In the past I've done an X-Wing style flight simulator and first person shooters.</p><p>For this project, I focused on a turn-based RPG combat system based on Star Wars Galaxies.

Which made a good exercise in importing existing models with character animations, Unity's animation system, and Unity's NavMesh Agent system to handle the AI movements and "aggression" when a player gets close (though the latter is not in the above video. May document that feature as this prototype progresses.</p><p>The above video highlights, a default primary attack, cooldown timer, a special attack, and accuracy values.

Plenty of LOD scripts and clever rotating the world, shifting the world around the player to make the transition from the surface to space.</p><p>Created a custom splat map to generate the Tatooine planet surface. Replaced the model for Mars's Phobos and Deimos with a more standard moon model and tweaked the orbital parameters to match the classic Tatooine pan shot from Star Wars: A New Hope.</p><p>Added additional details to Beggar's Canyon to include Stone Needle, buildings in the canyon walls, and the service ramp Anakin Skywalker notably flew off of in The Phantom Menace (and was also features in The Book of Boba Fett).</p><p>Just a quick combining of existing projects for fun.

Developed in just a few days using mostly existing models from my Starfighter project (Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters, Stormtroopers, blasters) as well as a number of interaction scripts (Stormtrooper AI, TIE Fighter AI, blaster effects, lightsaber deflection logic).<br />
<br />
The terrain was also reused from my Halloween CAVE2 picture (based on The Rise of Skywalker teaser trailer). That terrain is based on NASA topography scans of Wadi Rum, Jordan where Rise of Skywalker and Rogue One were filmed. Zooming around Google Earth, this seemed to be the specific location the Rey + Kylo Ren fighter scene was filmed.<br />

Jedi robe, cloak, belt, and lightsaber from my trip to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Orlando on my way back from presenting a paper at SUI 2019 in New Orleans.<br />
<br />
For the Halloween photoshoot the terrain, Star Destroyer, and TIE Fighters were placed in the Unity3D scene. However, other than the dust particle effect and the camera projection the scene was otherwise static. Any of the animations and interactions would be added in December.<br />
<br />
Some of the new elements specifically built for this video was the Imperial Lambda Shuttle. Which I has started a while back, but didn't finish. I completed enough of the exterior and a bit of the interior and boarding ramp for use in this scene.<br />

Other additions to the Millennium Falcon 3D model since my last post. The backlog is due to writing and presenting my PhD preliminary examination on December 2, 2019 followed by scrambling to work on a <a href="https://enterprisevr.blogspot.com/2019/12/development-log-motion-picture-update.html">CAVE2 image for the 40th anniversary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture</a> and finally The Rise of Skywalker theatrical release on December 19, 2019.<br />

During this update my Blender project timer surpassed 200 hours! That's 200 active hours working on this Millennium Falcon model from basic exterior, interior layout, and exterior details since December 2015.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been working on the last major exterior section of the ship: the very detailed mechanical panels on top of the engine section. Reference for this part is a mix of technical drawings and mostly pictures of the large studio model.</div>

<br />
The edge equipment panels that surround the middle section of the Millennium Falcon was modeled based on a number of resources. Most of the equipment panels on the front-starboard side are based on screencaps or production photographs of the actual physical Millennium Falcon exterior set as seen in The Empire Strikes Back and The Force Awakens. Some were based on photos of the studio model from one of the museum tours.<br />
<br />
The remaining panels were designed based on existing 3D models of the Millennium Falcon from various games such as Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed and Battlefront (2015).<br />
<br />
Some panels like the one pictured below is actually derived from a production screenshot of the VCX-100 model (i.e. The Ghost from Star Wars: Rebels) used in Rogue One. This segment will eventually be used for my 3D model of the Ghost, but modified versions of the mesh was used to fill out the sections of the Millennium Falcon where I didn't have good reference material - mainly on the port side of the ship.<br />

Mostly been adding the exterior armor plating every now and then over the summer. Certainly been time-consuming, but in the end a worthwhile endeavor. At least that's what I keep telling myself before I go back to making the ship fly under a full physics simulation. Easier to make a texture from a high polygon model than the reverse right?<br />

For a majority of these plates, I've been modeling the 'clean' version without any of the holes cut out for lighting or mechanical access points. For some of them I actually did model in the cuts, but filled them in to 'punch out' later.<br />

This final Millennium Falcon image for this post features an attempt to place the escape pod as seen in The Last Jedi. Here I have it wedged in between the (non-canon?) aft cargo ramp and the starboard landing gear bay. As some eagle-eyed folks on the internet have noted since the Last Jedi was released, the location the escape pod pops out in the film does seem to conflict with that landing gear bay.<br />
<br />
I'm not even bothering with how to resolve the interior of the escape pod room as seen in the film which <a href="https://deeplyobsessed.blogspot.com/2018/03/escape-pod-bay.html">Stinson Lenz covers in his blog</a> at this time. Probably will finish up the exterior before I go back to that.<br />
<br />
Lastly as an excuse to switch gears (slightly), here's the start of a new 3D model:<br />

The Corellian VCX-100 light freighter as seen in Star Wars: Rebels and Rogue One as 'The Ghost.' Also mentioned in Solo: A Star Wars Story. I've been grabbing reference material for this ship for a while since Rebels season 2? Finally got inspired to start since I recently found <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost?file=The-Ghost-tv-vs-film.png">this screenshot</a> of the 3D model used in Rogue One and also some tracks from the Rebels soundtrack is on my playlist when I tend to work on these models.<br />

But given a busy semester, slow progress until I remembered May the 4th, 2018 was coming up. I released a short teaser trailer to highlight the project features to date - well most of them. I spent about 9 hours the night before setting up the 12 or so shots used for the video. Every shot I filmed that night was included in the video. I had 3 additional shots planned, but didn't get around to filming those.<br />
<br />
A number of the shots were modeled after the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNW0B0HsvVs">teaser trailer</a> for 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' and uses the music from that trailer by L'Orchestra Cinématique which is available on their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn2UQKDJCvY">YouTube channel</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
Like almost all of my CAVE2 images or videos, I personally setup all the shots, the camera, and the lighting. I used a few versions of the CAVE2 application for the video. Some were existing demo versions with the music muted, others I was modifying the source project and making a new build for specific behaviors I wanted to capture or setting up the in-game camera at a specific location in case I needed to duplicate a shot.<br />
<br />
The final hyperspace shot was the one that took the most takes because 1) the lighting was hard to get right and 2) I broke the app once and the star streaks were stuck in front of the cockpit. It was also the last shot of the night, so I was rather tired at that point.<br />
<br />
I was a bit disappointed I didn't keep the scene used for the video in <a href="http://arthurnishimoto.blogspot.com/2017/12/millennium-falcon-3d-model-part-55.html">part 5.5 of this blog</a> since I actually used the CAVE2 displays behind the camera to illuminate myself. There's also a fun part of that story where about a third of the displays and tracking cameras were down since we were replacing some of the screens at the time.<br />
<br />
Although I do still have the scene file for the Star Wars 40th picture I did in 2017.<br />

Based on several sources online, the flight yokes were originally from 1940s Vickers Viscount airliners and mounted backwards to serve as the Millennium Falcon's flight stick - though Solo might be the first time on screen that these flight sticks will be seen actually used in flying the Millennium Falcon opposed to just being held. The Solo teaser also showed the silver handbrake(?) lever on the center console being used - another first I believe. The Force Awakens made more use of the black throttle(?) controls on the top of the console.<br />

Continuing to fill out the exterior details, I've modeled and animated the landing gear doors. The original three main landing gears use a similar two door approach. The two front landing gears added for Empire Strikes Back have a wider door that folds when deployed. This is based on some of the closeup shots in Echo Base.<br />
<br />
One of the cancelled shots for the May the 4th video would have had a shot of the Millennium Falcon coming in for a landing with the fully animated doors and gears as it made its approach. Maybe for the best since I haven't modeling the cargo lift yet and the gaping hole visible in the above image.Arthur Nishimotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05708859998096992026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017074774635788494.post-22748212262344543422018-02-12T02:25:00.002-06:002018-02-12T02:25:30.493-06:00Millennium Falcon 3D Model Part 7<br />The past few weeks have been dedicated to modeling a basic interior and as much exterior detail as possible for an upcoming update to the CAVE2 demo.<div>

Spent a decent amount to time trying to narrow down the end-goal of this whole thing. Flight simulator? Interactive walkthrough?<br />
<br />
I reviewed some older Star Wars games like X-Wing Allaince and SWG: Jump to Lightspeed as a template for how I wanted the experience to feel - with the added challenge of trying to add a virtual reality spin to the interaction.<br />
<br />
Started writing some mission manager scripts to generate scenarios similar to SWG's space duty mission (destroy and escort). Fighters now have a notion of primary mission targets (in this case the Rebel corvette) and secondary objectives like fighter groups (i.e. the player) and X-Wing Alliance style duty roles to prioritize: Superiority (fighters first, then primary target) or Strike (Primary target first, fighters second).<br />

In my last update, I started texture mapping the interior. But after a while I got annoyed with how I modeled the meshes a year ago. So I ended up remodeling much of the interior trying to keep the sections more universal and modular than I had previously done.<br />

Another motivation for the complete redesign of the interior is that I had previously scaled the exterior to 31 meters long (latest canon length for the Millennium Falcon is 34 to 35 meters).<br />
<br />
I probably did that to reduce the boarding ramp angle into the corridor so that the exterior boarding ramp can still have a 20 degree incline and still have the interior corridors low enough in height so that the floor plane can be above the bottom gun turret. But that caused other restrictions on how tall/wide the interiors could be.<br />
<br />
I managed to get the angle at the top of the boarding ramp to under a 35 degree incline (which allows my Unity character controller to go up the ramp without sliding down). As a result, the overall corridor radius is smaller than the film set and slightly compressed in some places. Also the gun turret is readily visible from the corridor as the floor is just above the back wall of the gunner's area. I would have liked to have the corridor vertically centered on the turret tunnel, but the entry ramp would be unrealistically steep.<br />

As a tribute to how much I improved over the years, I think the new corridors look much better than the old ones and took me a weekend to do rather than a few weeks. Key modeling tidbits I picked up since was better use of shared meshes, modeling pipes, and overall experience with dealing with curved and angled corridors.<br />
<br />
Also on the interaction side, been working on VR style flight controls using a wand. This of course requires an actual flight stick model. Partially inspired by the mid-season finale of Star Wars: Rebels Rebel Assault - where there are a number of shots of the cockpit of T-65 X-Wings. The flight stick concept art is also prominently shown in the Rebel Recon video for the episode.<br />

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original cinema opening of Star Wars, updated the Death Star hanger model to use the emergency lighting as seen on the season 1 finale of Star Wars: Rebels and added a Darth Vader model in homage to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.</div>

During May and June I did a significant amount of work rewriting the space flight mechanics and starfighter AI. Once those were completed, I finally did a push to implement important UI elements such as head-up-displays, targeting systems, and a radar.</div>

In early July, I started work on adding more exterior details to the Millennium Falcon - specifically the armor plating. However the current state of the model has enough inaccuracies, that I started overhauling most of the exterior components.<br />
<br />
This work is based off the production plans of the Millennium Falcon from Empire Strikes Back acquired from Star Wars: The Blueprints.</div>

Right on the heels of a rather hectic semester, including passing the PhD qualifying exam, I present version 2 of the Millennium Falcon cockpit. Most of the modifications are based on the earlier CAVE2 virtual reality tests which exposed some scaling issues with the model as well as experience gained by modeling such a detailed space with angled panels.<br />
<br />
Opposed to the original model where the cockpit walls were modeled at that angle, the new version are actually separate panels rotated into that position. This made it much easier to place switches, buttons, and lights using the panel's local coordinates.<br />
<br />
Also since the original model I've found two major reference sources that have vastly improved the detail in this model:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://falcon.maruskadesign.com/files/">Joshua Maruska's Millennium Falcon model</a></li>
<ul>
<li>Used his cockpit walls as scale and detail reference</li>
<li>Also for the captain and nav seats.</li>
<li>My Nav seats used his as a reference as the originals had far too many polygons for my use.</li>
<li>The Captain's seats are currently his. Haven't decided if I'll model my own or keep them</li>
</ul>
<li><a href="http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-360-view-the-force-awakens-set-panoramas-at-starwars-com">StarWars.com The Force Awakens 360 Panoramas</a></li>
<ul>
<li>These have been immensely helpful for getting the details of the cockpit and especially the main cockpit console</li>
</ul>
</ul>

In a change of pace from 3D modeling, I worked on finishing the turret interaction I had started on in January and implement the wand controls so that I could test this in CAVE2. As a testament to the development of the <a href="https://www.evl.uic.edu/entry.php?id=2165">CAVE2 Simulator</a> most of the interaction was tested using the simulator augmented with a Kinect for hand and head tracking. This translated to directly running on CAVE2 without any sensitivity adjustment to the controls.<br />
<br />
This was one of two CAVE2 Unity demos using a new version of my cluster sync code. Details and probably a video in the next update.</div>

With the addition of the passenger lounge, I'm really beginning to tackle the usual challenges of modeling the Millennium Falcon - the interior sets are too large to fit in the exterior ship model. At least with the original film Enterprise I didn't have to worry about that too much (The one exception being the Klingon bridge from The Motion Picture redressed to be the Enterprise torpedo bay). Although the 2009 Star Trek monstrosity of a starship is worse mess in terms of scaling.<br />

The boarding ramp is still a bit of a mess. The ramp is steeper than it should be, but if I made it any more level, I wouldn't be able to fit the corridor around the turret column.<br />

By this point I was having some doubts of how I was modeling the dashboard. Unlike the cockpit and exterior shape, I was having difficulty finding the dimensions of the console. After some visual testing in CAVE2, I eventually found an existing accurate 1:1 scale model of the dashboard which was commonly used for physical 1:1 scale replicas of the Millennium Falcon cockpit.<br />

I took a break from modeling for a bit while I was mulling over the potential scaling issue with the interior cockpit. Using some of the same code from my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG-s6BgloNc">previous starfighter tests</a>, I also refined the targeting computer display which my X-Wing used.<br />

There's been some debate over what these things on the side of the Falcon are. Typically listed as either docking ports or the escape pods. I went with docking ports for multiple reasons: 1) Several escape pods were jettisoned before the Falcon was captured by the Death Star in A New Hope and the exterior looks the same. 2) The Ghost in Star Wars: Rebels typically docks in space using similar looking attachments. 3) I managed to design the interior of the passenger ramp to work as a corridor to the docking port. 4) Later found out The Force Awakens Incredible Cross-Sections also labels them docking ports. Although the YT-1300 is known for its customization options so they could be either depending on the configuration.<br />

With The Force Awakens approaching, I pulled some of the models from my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGTV5ShJX8o">Stormtrooper shooting test</a> and made a few photos for my Facebook cover photo and profile picture. Literally took these shots right before leaving for the Alder After Dark Side event. I also added multiple weapons selectable using the DPad - and E-11 Blaster Rifle, DL-44 Heavy Pistol, and my lightsaber.<br />

I wrote the lightsaber blade script in Unity years ago, but this might actually be the first time I'm wielding my lightsaber design in CAVE2 (a Kenobi/Katarn hybrid).<br />
<br />
The lighting scheme used for the corridors in this shot was inspired by the season 1 finale of Star Wars Rebels 'Fires Across the Galaxy' where the Ghost crew boards an Imperial Star Destroyer temporarily disabled and running on emergency power.<br />
<br />
I'm still working out synchronization issues in CAVE2 preventing me from making a proper video of this. Probably due to the tighter space than the test scene in the previously mentioned video, the stormtroopers get out of sync much faster in this environment.<br />
<br />
I've run some smaller tests and showed that it is not the Nav Meshes de-synchronizing, but rather somewhere in the combat/aiming scripts. Sadly the most stable version of this game is the one where I disable strormtroopers shooting back. Just of one many things I hope I'll tackle by part 4 which may be delayed due to the semester kicking into gear.Arthur Nishimotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05708859998096992026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017074774635788494.post-67749157655568038282016-02-05T23:51:00.000-06:002016-02-06T00:01:07.081-06:00Millennium Falcon 3D ModelOver the past few years of demoing my <a href="http://enterprisevr.blogspot.com/">1:1 scale of The Motion Picture/Wrath of Khan Starship Enterprise</a> in EVL's CAVE2(TM), I've been ask more than a few times "what about the Millennium Falcon?"<br />
<br />
Arguably X-Wing Alliance remains one of my favorite games because you spend part of the game as a young pilot working in a family business where you get to fly a more stock version of the YT-1300.<br />
<br />
When Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed came out in 2004, you bet the first piloting profession I would take would be neutral pilot (Character was from Corellia, so naturally CorSec Squadron) because the YT-1300 was one of the Master Pilot ships.<br />

I've been tempted to write a post reflecting on SWG. Pulling these screenshots brought out a lot of memories. There was a forum post where player were discussing where their character's 'final resting place' would be. For my original character it was on his YT-1300. For my second (Jedi unlock) slot character which also was my final logout from Galaxies, it was the place I wandered aimlessly back in the day before vehicles and players had mapped the planets. Hoping for some clue to unlocking the mysteries of the Force (which ironically I do consider part of the downfall of SWG).</div>

Anyway, so 2015 rolls around and I've just seen The Force Awakens. The first moment in the film that got cheers in the audience (I think the largest cheer of the night), was the reveal of the Millennium Falcon on Jakku. I'll admit I was close to tears and simultaneously wincing seeing the Falcon's engines powering up followed by dragging along the desert. Still felt the same way watching it the second time a week later in IMAX.</div>

Working on the cockpit panels was similar to the <a href="http://enterprisevr.blogspot.com/2011/02/development-log-february-1-2-2011.html">Enterprise bridge panels</a>. however this time around I was modeling far more details where the Enterprise was more textured. Intention is to allow more flexibility when animating the lights in addition to just having more 3D meshes to see in CAVE2 (which Enterprise pre-dates).</div>

It's been a little over six years since I started doing research at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the first major project I did would eventually be known as Fleet Commander.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With Star Wars: Episode VII out and EVL's Cyber-Commons touch wall again configured in a way that would make it easier to bring this back, I thought I'd look back at the project that eventually led me to graduate school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

While there have been several iterations on different touch devices, the most famous is the 20-foot touch wall version (video above). Not only did it set the tone as I finished undergrad and continue to grad school, but those wall radial menus and touch gestures would eventually figure into my <a href="https://www.evl.uic.edu/entry.php?id=1643">Master's thesis</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fleet Commander basically started with the following points in mind:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I had just taken Video Game Design (Spring 2009) creating a <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/arthurnishimoto/cs-426/zooball">Foosball game</a> for a multi-touch table</li>
<li>I wanted to originally create a strategy game for the class - team decided otherwise</li>
<li>I'm employed under the Research Experience Undergraduate program to continue development of multi-touch applications on the <a href="https://www.evl.uic.edu/entry.php?id=862">TacTile system</a></li>
<li>and well Star Wars!</li>
<ul>
<li>The first project for the video game design class was to create a bug squish-like game for a multi-touch table so naturally I turned it into an asteroid smash game with an 'asteroid chase' Easter egg complete with a TIE Fighter.</li>
</ul>
</ul>

<h2>
Concept</h2>
I remember sketching out the original draft of 'Planetary Defender' - fleets above fighter for control of the planet below where the player would have both the ground base and the fleet at their disposal. Maybe a bit ambitious for a single fourth year computer science undergraduate with a semester of video game design (Zooball) and one software design project (text-based go-here, pick up item, unlock door type game).<br />
<br />
Fleet Commander would eventually be the result of 'phase one' of the game which focused on just the space battle component.<br />
<br />

<br />
The core idea behind Fleet Commander wasn't the ships or even the gameplay, but the user interface. I've basically built my entire grad school career on user interfaces and human-computer interaction. At least that was the idea to justify this as an undergraduate research project.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind this was 2009 (Angry Birds wouldn't be a thing until the end of the year) and I was thinking: I have the 52" touch screen, 100+ touches, no distinct user identity, no 'correct' orientation on the table, and how to fit a strategy game with touch clicks and drags (no keyboards or right-clicking).<br />
<br />
A group of us that built TacTile and/or took the game class in 2009 would eventually publish <a href="https://www.evl.uic.edu/entry.php?id=1641">Design Guidelines for Multiplayer Video Games on Multi-touch Displays</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Building The Fleet</h2>
<h4>
Development at a Glance</h4>
<div>
<ul>
<li>7 months total development time</li>
<ul>
<li>Spanning summer 2009 to July 2010</li>
<li>Mostly during the academic year (My senior year in college)</li>
<li>Small updates through 2013</li>
</ul>
<li>1 developer (me)</li>

</ul>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<h4>
Structure</h4>
</div>
<div>
The primary purpose of Fleet Commander was to design a native multi-user, multi-touch strategy game. But it also served as a test bed to really explore all those data structures, software design techniques, and algorithms I had read about or was casually mentioned in class.</div>
<div>
<br />
I really went all out with the object-oriented design. Basically every object that needed to interact using touch was derived from the same 'Touch Object' class. Everything from the ships, buttons, fighters, and superweapons all had the same base class. The Mon Calamari Cruiser, Imperial Star Destroyer, Corellian Corvette, and the Carrack Light Cruiser all derived from the Capital Ship class.<br />
<br />
All the fighters flying around are controlled using a basic flocking algorithm, well maybe just the follow aspect. I don't think I really wrote a good implementation of a flocking algorithm until my third attempt - which was for a <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/arthurnishimoto/cs-525/project-3">project for the GPU programming class</a> (and yes if you look really closely, that is the A-Wing sprite I drew for <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/arthurnishimoto/kilk-play">Starfighter Battles Part III</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RPuae5Rd2nc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RPuae5Rd2nc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
The aiming mechanic does use a look-ahead method by calculating the velocity vector of the target and the speed of the laser - classic shooting game physics. Again first time I really implemented this kind of AI behavior.<br />
<br /></div>
<h4>
Interface</h4>
<div>
Radial menus and multi-touch widgets and gestures make up the bulk of the user interface. Buttons are multi-touch aware and track multiple simultaneous touch points. Touch drags are used to position objects - even using all five fingers to launch 5 ships at a time (although a bit difficult to perform). Capital ships can even attack specific targets using a press-drag-to-target or using two fingers to do a ray cast.<br />
<br />
As I've already mentioned the techniques here basically setup the basis of my master's degree. The user interface design would appear in my master's thesis as well as the SAGE2™ Scalable Amplified Group Environment.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZHm6wdPP1RY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZHm6wdPP1RY?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Sound</h4>
<div>
Basically all the audio was (obviously) lifted from Star Wars games (If you must know: Shadows of the Empire, X-Wing Alliance, and Empire at War). As someone on YouTube mentioned, there are Star Trek: The Next Generation computer interface beeps in there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Keep in mind this was written in Java on Linux in 2009. Anyone who has worked with JavaSound in Linux at the time knows how much of a pain it was to get a working sound card driver. Even then you started running into issues with file types, bit rates, and all that fun stuff.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The final solution was to stream sound events to an external SuperCollider server which would handle all the audio work. This also had the advantage to allow us to localize sound effects across the seven speakers along the top of the Cyber-Commons wall.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The one part of the sound manager that I was particularly proud of was the Dynamic Music Manager which basically played/looped/switched music files based on the state of the game. The notable cues were 'Rebel/Empire enters first', 'Ion Cannon/Death Star fires', and 'The Trench Run'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While filled with sounds and music copyright of Lucasfilm, how I pulled them all together really added to the overall feel of the game. Really going to miss that if I ever end up pulling the Star Wars theme out of it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<h2>
The Video</h2>
<h4>
Making of</h4>
<div>
So we've had Fleet Commander running on TacTile and the Cyber-Commons wall for quite a while and at some point my academic adviser said we should make a quick video of it. Not sure exactly what prompted this - maybe as just as an example of multi-user interaction on the touch wall that was more complex than just the paint app.<br />
<br />
I think we shot this video rather fast. Got as many students that happen to be in the lab that day and got them in front of the wall to play it. Fairly sure more than half of the people in the video had never actually played the game before.<br />
<br />
If I remember correctly, the final dolly shot was done with our resident video expert sitting on a wheeled chair being push by our audio expert. I know there's a picture of that - will have to find that someday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Reaction</h4>
I believe my academic adviser did a quick edit and threw it on youtube and sent it to <a href="http://kotaku.com/5820231/this-is-the-best-star-wars-game-weve-seen-in-a-long-time">Kokatu</a>. I believe the intention was to get it out there and let people knit pick every detail out of it. I think after a couple of weeks it was at 500,000 views.<br />
<br />
I think it was the next day I got two separate emails: one from Lucasfilm and another from the creative director as Lucasarts. Both essentially expressed interest in it and asked if I wanted to come down to San Francisco and talk about it.<br />
<br />
By chance I was already flying to San Francisco on EVL related business to demo our <a href="http://www.sagecommons.org/">SAGE software</a> so I was able to stop by and have a look at the Letterman Digital Arts Center where Lucasfilm and LucasArts operated.<br />

Really cool to see so many matte paintings and props ILM had done over the years. Maybe if I wasn't just starting graduate school (and after the fact Disney acquiring and shutting down LucasArts the following year) maybe it could have been interesting to work there. With the new ILMxLabs in 2015 and the fact I've been doing virtual reality since 2012 who knows?<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Things I Would Have Done Differently</h2>
<h4>
Artwork<span id="goog_1687302942"></span><span id="goog_1687302943"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></h4>
<div>
As I mentioned in the concept section, I'm staring to miss the original artwork I had done in Paint for the capital ships. I think I just wanted it to look better - especially when corners would start breaking off. That was a bit of a pain in itself since I had to make and align multiple images by manually specifying coordinates to make that work in Processing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The big part where I got lazy was trying to draw my own space stations - as so many have pointed out on YouTube, I screen grabbed from Empire at War. I'm a Computer Science student and not an artist - although this was a few years before I would start <span id="goog_122355692"></span><a href="http://enterprisevr.blogspot.com/">The Enterprise</a>. Even now I'm not sure I'd have the 2D/texturing skills to pull off something that looks good. A majority of Enterprise is just material colors and not textured (The Bridge being the one major exception).<span id="goog_122355693"></span><br />
<br />
And really, would I want to stick with similar artwork I've been tossing out since 2002?<br />

Unfortunately the Empire at War art was really recognizable and had a bad tendency to overshadow the project. But I really wanted to get a space station in there that wasn't the Death Star. Besides where in the original trilogy did you see a space station that wasn't the Death Star? I suppose there are plenty of examples that have popped up in the X-Wing series of games, but Empire at War did have a distinctive design for the Alliance and Imperial space stations.<br />

<h4>
The Video</h4>
</div>
<div>
Honestly I've never been crazy about the 'famous' Fleet Commander video despite 775k views as of 11/16/2015. It was such a quickly shot video with next to no editing. My academic adviser at the time really wanted to get it out there as quickly as possible knowing that everyone would nit-pick the hell out of it. I was probably only one of two people in the video that had ever played the thing before.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In particular I feel bad for one particular student in the video since she always got flack in the video. She's since graduated and gone on to better things and probably never looked back at the video (Thank the Force). But maybe I'm just reading into it too much.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As previously mentioned there were plenty of good things that came out of that experience, but still.</div>

This time focused on just interior corridors. One of the technical goals is to really take advantage of Unity 5's baked lighting system.<br />

This time the Death Star. Using a similar method to <a href="http://enterprisevr.blogspot.com/">The Enterprise</a>, I collected several bluepoints and screencaps of the Death Star as seen in the films.<br />

For the interior, I started with the 'Ramped Corridor' where Luke and Leia engaged in a firefight with stormtroopers before swinging across the chasm. This was a good starting point since it was easier to determine the actual dimensions of the space with the actors near the walls.<br />
<br />
This is also the first modeling project I'm using the <a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/System/Project_Timer">project timer add on for Blender</a>. The first five images below screenshots represent progress after two hours of modeling work.<br />

The following set took another two hours of work since it required much more attention to detail and looking at screencaps. Time here was divided by interior wall panels plus some exterior details.</div>

In addition working on the corridors above, I also started augmenting the Death Star sphere model I had done in November. Using measurements on <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DS-1_Orbital_Battle_Station">Wookieepedia </a>and <a href="http://www.st-v-sw.net/STSWdeathstarsizes.html">http://www.st-v-sw.net/STSWdeathstarsizes.html</a>, I was able to add the docking bays in the equatorial trench as seen in the matte paintings in A New Hope when the Millennium Falcon is pulled into the Death Star.</div>
