Been working as much as possible this past week, amidst circus and work madness.
Reworking detection to work on a gradient rather than just discrete values, as reflected by the color changes. This was hardest for the hand gestures, as there really is nothing built for in between gestures. While doing this I discovered my velocity calculations were all kinds of incorrect, so hopefully it’s more accurate now. Also trying to take account for relativity due to distance from the camera. There’s been a lot of hacky math going on in my notebook.
I also have started incorporating a particle system! Hooray!
Also, timing. It’s happening! The appearance of the squares is set to the musical tones at the beginning of the song. I’m going for a little bit less interactive with a few things just to make sure they happen no matter what. Gotta leave room for some error up there, I only get one shot. :/
A little stressed because I still haven’t done a full run through of anything yet. It’s very unlike my process to leave things up in the air. I like it locked down by now. I just keep telling myself I’m good at improvising and spontaneity is half the point of this piece sooo.... Agh! This is an experience all right.
