Final 500 words Text - Research Asignment

Sandbox 2 Editor is the program that allow user to edit their environment in the Crysis War Environment. The course BENV2423 requites student to be able to create, modify and give command to the character in the environment, to represent the interaction between people and environment. Throughout the whole course the two experiments allow students to explore and gain skill knowledge in using Sandbox 2 Editor program. In this final research assignment I will conduct a video tutorial that implement the skill that is most likely to be used in order to show the interaction between people and environment.


For the past few months that I have been researching on a number of tutorial on the public source and gathering some skill knowledge on this program I then decide to choose the most effective way of giving command to the environment which is AI flowgraph nodes as the main focus in this tutorial research assignment.

The video tutorial will be presented in written statement along will the video. As I have been following lots of tutorial I found that written one maybe more effecting as it is more accurate when indicating the different tools and flowgraph nodes in the tutorial.

For the video tutorial, it will contains three main subjects which are tutorial shows how to command character in environment to get on or out of the vehicle by Vehicle:Entre and Vehicle:Exite nodes and drive it around in the given direction by using AI:FollowPathSpeedStance node and AIPath, the tutorial shows the movement of characters in the given spot direction by using AI:GoToSpeedStance node and TagPoint and the last subject is tutorial shows how to command characters to follow the user(player) by using Enity: EnityPos and Game:LocalPlayer as the key important nodes. Tutorial on people behaviour will also included by using AI:Execute, to show some action of people when they are in environment over a period of time. Some basic skill tricks will be also demonstrated though out the tutorial.

The action and movement as I stated on the above paragraph are those that show the significant relationship of people and environment. As we, students, used the train structure to involve in our understanding of the Pority therefore I the actions that involve in the train station would be the important part for user to navigate the interaction between people and environment. As people walk through space we can then identity the time and the area they are more likely to be in. Vehicle is another object that most involved in the interaction of people and environment. Therefore by combining the skill of knowledge focusing on that idea and demonstrating them into the easy step-by-step tutorial, the great understanding of Porosity the can be arrived.

By doing a lot of researches on the Sandbox 2 tutorial for the past few months I gain lots of skill and technique to command people to move through space at the right area and direction hence the understanding of people in the environment is created.

EXP2_Week6 :Text on tutorial (continue)

Research (tutorial) Assignment - First draft paragraphs (continue)

The main subject of the tutorial will be focusing on AI nodes which involve in most of the action of the AI (character). There are a number of tutorial on the public source such as internet that show you how to create the action. After some research and having experiences of being a person who watch those tutorial before so I decided to create the tutorial that combine the movement of AI, Entity and AI behavior by using flowgraph nodes. I will demonstate the tutorial that take the audience each steps to complete the process of how to create an action.

In addition, throught out the tutorial I will be demonstarting some of the trick of how to use basic tool. Me, as a student who was first introduced to this program at the beginning of the course found quite a number of problem in using some basic tools. I will set a topic in the tutorial on this  subject however thoughtout the tutorial that will be shown, a number of technique on basic tools will be shown as well. The tutorial will be presented in written text along the video.

EXP2_Week6: Developed structure (textures)

Developed structure

This is the video showing the final structure of the sketch installation with light and texture. The video showing the interior and exterior structure.

The sketch installation is kept into the simple train station however the structure that being place allow light to give a great effect.

EXP2_Week4: Paragraphs on tutorial

Research (Tutorial) Assignment - First draft paragraph

Thoughtout the course BENV2423 the students had established the knowleage of how to use an environment interactive program, Sandbox 2 Editor. Starting from how to create basic map or which we can call it "land" to the technique and some tricks to give command of action to character in the environment, or basicly a "game".The course focus on the interaction of people to the enviroment therefore in this final research assignment I will be conducting a video tutorial on the basic action of the people such as moving into given direction, getting into the vehicle, setting some behaviour and moving a vehicle. These actions aare the basic action that most of people involve with everyday and all of the skill involve in this has been great implement through out the course.

The tutorial will focus into command the action by using flowgraph. There will be quite a number of flow of flowgraph nodes go into this tutorial. Such as, AI:GoToSpeedStance, Vehicle:Entre, AI:Excecute, Enity:EntityPro as an example.
