[Animation] Carlton Rig









Targets - 23/11/2015 - 27/11/2015

Mike - Finish the Carnotaurus skin and rig. Skin the T-Rex (stretch start the rig)
Rhys - Adjust physics for both Carno and T-Rex, Get the AI running around the new track.
Adam -   Complete volcano ground textures. Make small changes to landscape - Discussed with Rhys.
Jenna - Finish Carno texture, start T-Rex texture.

Volcano Research - Satsuma-Iwo Jima - Japan


Volcano Research

There are three different types of magma that make up volcanoes. Once the magma erupts and then cools it creates rock.  These three different types are:

  • Basalt - magma often forms shield Volcanoes.



  • Andesite - magma often forms cone Volcanoes. 




  • Rhyolite - magma often forms calderas - depending on how much gas the magma containe, but can also form cone Volcanoes too. 





Satsuma-Iwo Jima volcano.
Iwo Jima volcano is made up of Rhyolite rock, "Rhyolite is light-coloured or white - this is a clue that the rock contains a lot of silica (More than 70%) and not much iron or magnesium."

Rhyolite is associated with lower temperatures between (750-850 degrees) and is often thick, which means that gas is unable to escape.  It is also of a lighter colour sometimes almost white. For example, Pumice rick still has evidence that the has was still within the rock after it solidified.

Engine Updates

T-Rex in


Player respawning





I don't have the new track so there's no point in me actually changing the speed of the T-Rex since the cornering and handling needs to change on a track by track basis




Carlton Poly Paint

Here is Carlton as he currently looks PolyPainted. I think it will look much better if I can get him into Substance personally.
