Animated BB-8: 471 Final Project

 For my project, I wanted to focus on making something that was simple and easy to start, instead of overestimating my skills in graphics. I decided to create a fully animated BB-8 model from Star Wars. As of right now, the world and textures of the project are lacking because I devoted more time in making the animations seem more realistic.

Features

• Acceleration and weight in all 4 directions
• Head rotates along body in proper direction as BB-8 moves
• Movement is properly synced with the rolling animation
• Can individually rotate the head 360 degrees

Future Work

• BB-8 texture map
• More interesting world
• Collision detection
• Change in direction based on head direction (as of now, the head's direction has no effect on direction body moves)

Controls

• WASD to move BB-8
• Q and E to rotate the head individually
• Arrow keys to control camera
• Mouse to control pitch/yaw of camera
• Space and shift keys to move camera vertically
