Pipeline Considerations for Character and Story-driven Augmented Reality
- 2. Panelists AR Developer Augmented Traveler Unity AR/VR Developer Augmented Traveler Co Founder, CTO Augmented Traveler
- 3. Introduction Our work at Augmented Traveler addresses the increasing popularity of AR apps that include rich character-driven stories A complex pipeline is necessary to manage the production of these apps This panel will discuss the experience of creating a pipeline for PastPort™, a time-traveling interactive history AR application
- 4. Pipeline Overview Creative Maya Unity Vuforia Deployment Script development Location scouting Storyboards/Concept art Cast voice actors Audio (ambient, FX, & music) UX design/Experience flow Scene building Character behaviors & pathing Prop behaviors & pathing UI/UX for scene navigation Design/Build models (characters & props) Create textures Rig models Animate models Export to Unity Determine AR targets Overlays of virtual objects Create AR behaviors Tie in to social media backend Customize for select partners (branding) Determine distribution with partners Launch subscription services Launch customized PastPort™ services

Notes de l'éditeur
- Export s master character for a Unity avatar Rigging allows the animator to focus on the performance Export each animation sequence to remix the performance in Unity
- * Export a master character for a Unity avatar – we have to plan early for all possible animations * Rigging allows the animator (Charles) to focus on the performance * Export each animation sequence to remix the performance in Unity – it’s easy to do updates, proxies * Mixamo is a wonderful tool to standardize rigs, animations, and to share motion * The Mixamo AutoControlRig script would not complete, so facial animation had to be a separate process
- Unity balances three interactions: the physical design (Scene), animation and event control (Mecanim), and programming logic (Scripts) .fbx is a sure way to publish assets that you mean to publish – one envelope to contain many useful things Unity has the Asset Store & significant training resources to solve technical problems Even when using a technical setup, we reference the screenplay and the actors performance, historical research We have a team scattered around the world (Los Angeles, China, Italy, Dallas) and cloud tools make it possible
