Final Project: BETA


To recap:  

One can navigate through different steps with the "next" and "previous" buttons.  Navigating to the beginning of each specific part of the face is done with the "black buttons" at the top of the program.  Clicking "show drawing" will draw out each step in the tutorial.  "Show drawing" can be clicked multiple times, at the user's discretion.

Revisions:

  • All animations done.
  • Changes to final drawings made. All drawings are now smoother and refined.
  • All interface buttons work.  Code has been put in so that the user can find his or her place in the tutorial regardless of how one navigates (the black guides above, or the prev. and next buttons.)

Comments:

When playtesting my project, and demoing it to its target audience, the common consensus among them was that having options to draw different sets of eyes, noses, and mouths would make the tutorial too complicated, and divide the material's subject matter up too much.  Because of this, I have omitted the option to see different facial features drawn, only keeping the options for creating multiple hair styles.

However, the program has been created in a way that the hairstyle chosen by the user, should they choose a hairstyle, is reflected in the final drawing at the end of the tutorial.

I played with this last night and I got to say you did a nice job especially with the draw feature. The transitions really help in the menu system. I don't know about adding different options for the eyes, nose, and mouth like we talked. I think it is working out pretty fine for now.

it's looking pretty good.

I would definitely get rid of the "show drawing" button on pages that don't have a drawing. because i wanted to click to every time and noticed it didn't even work on some pages.

Nice piece coming together.

I think there could be a climax to it or something, like an animation or song....

Mike,
Your tutorial is working well. I especially like the incorporation of the old school hairstyles. As far as advice, then only thing I might change is the pages with no drawing. I thought it wasn't working since they weren't doing anything. Perhaps you could eliminate those from the pages that they aren't needed on.

this rocks man.

I just want everything to be customizable much like the hair portion.

Four options for each body part could lead to many different faces that could be drawn.


much like mii's
