On the way...

We my graphics assignment is coming along very nicely. It's actually due in 6 days and 18 hours, so wish me luck.

Today was a milestone, because I finished my gravity / momentum physics engine. This means that I can tell the bike where to go in the horizontal direction, and it automatically jumps in the air when he goes over a bump, and always falls nicely to the ground. The suspension also moves up and down!

As you can see, the animation has come a long way since my last post about it. Yes, that is Bender from Futurama! What I didn't realise before I started modeling Bender is that the lecturer in charge is a huge Futurama fan. I wonder if he'll give me some extra marks? He probably won't if he reads this!

Anyway, the animation only runs for 8.5 seconds so far, and it has to run from 30 - 60 seconds. So.. I better get back into the C++.
