On this day we had the learning progress showcase, where we spoke to teachers and students to get feedback on various topics from our portfolio. We also had to give feedback to each other in our groups.
The first teachers I spoke to were Lisette and Kees and the most important bit of feedback from them was that I need to learn more new things from my teammates instead of only observing them doing things that are new for me. I am going to work together with Frederique by combining our programming/modelling knowledge to make clothing dynamics this sprint. This will help with implementing that feedback.
The next teacher I spoke to was Emma who I talked with about concepting and modelling and she gave me a lot of good tips for how to progress further with blendshapes, like what I could search for online and that I should get a lot of opinions on how the avatar should look in the various blendshapes. She also told me I should write my goal about storyboards and concepting in my portfolio and that it would be wise to make a page for each specific goal and write how I am progressing in it.
The last teacher I spoke to was Remco about programming. From him the biggest feedback was that I should have a new thing that I learn that is only from me (which should be the blendshapes). This was because he did not like that Scott and I both learned about hand tracking (even though we did it seperate from each other). And I also should have something made by me only that has a big impact on the game. I will probably automatically work on this during the next sprint because I will be the only programmer for this time. I am going to focus on programming things like the controller interactions and then the blendshapes.
Another thing I took from the feedback is that I should make goals more well thought out and do more research prior to starting work, for example looking into more ways to accomplish user input/hand tracking before sticking to one tutorial. I should not take too long doing this, but I should have more insight into how things work and if there will be implications like hand tracking teleportation not working before I start.
My team did not have time to do feedback for each other on this day, so we will do this later and then I will write it in my portfolio. Also, my feedback form is not complete so I will ask the teacher during the individual coaching about this before I upload it.
