Wing Chan - Week 3

I am able to draw the model with its binding pose. However, the model doesn’t get animated. I think I know what the problem is but I am still not able to fix it.

if the week went differently than you had planned, what were the reasons? note that this happens regularly…I would prefer you to be aggressive in what you want to try accomplish rather than limit yourself to goals you know you’ll easily achieve. so answering this question is more of a reflection on the development process and the surprises you encounter, it’s not at all an evaluation.

One reason was about importing the Assimp library. I do not know how to import the assimp library with mingw and it took me a while and I still cannot figure it out. Then, Jacob helped me with that. I was able to include the .h file and cmake it without any complaints but then I ran into issues with make. It seemed like it wasn’t really linked to the lib assimp library. I tried to fix it myself but no luck. Then I asked Shane for help and he was able to fix it right away! I feel like I should just ask my teammates for help instead of wasting time and struggling on this.

Right now I’m working the animation on my own local environment cuz I can compile the assimp library without mingw. My goal is to fix the linking issue and figure out why the animation doesn’t work.

I learnt that I have no idea how to use cmake and the cmakelist.txt file. I expected that I would have to spend less time importing a library. I also learnt a bit of using assimp and the struct of it.
