Let It Rain

We've started the beginnings of our final project. It's hard to believe that it's all finally coming to a close. A beginning of the end. I feel a bit in a panic because I don't feel like my group is as organized as we could be. I know our ideas are sound, I guess it's just a matter of implementation for me. I'm a stickler for doing things on time and being organized is a key part. For the time being though, I have the job of terraforming the baseball field and then throwing in the bits and pieces of things we'll need to buy as "accessories." I hope we can finish the field for tomorrow or Friday because I won't have internet access this weekend. After we finish the field we need to get together some good videos about the physics of a home run and learn how to get those into Second Life. Somehow I have a feeling that they will merely have to be links to videos which I think is ok as long as the visitor can access them. We also need to script some objects or hire a scriptor for our animations of swinging a bat, throwing a ball, and various other things. I wish I could say I know what else we needed, but I think the boys in our group are taking better care of that than me. I hate saying it, but I didn't realize just how hard this would be. Meeting in a virtual world seems to make things more difficult because it's harder to come up with a group management sheet when there's no verbal or physical communication. Of course this is merely just me, but I do wonder if this project would be easier if we weren't meeting in Second Life and instead meeting in the classroom. I guess we'll find out tomorrow...in class. lol.
