So I started the day thinking that I was going to be more productive than ever and that one of my biggest milestones was going to take an hour to achieve. Great, right?
As I said in my last post, I've found the Layar website to be the single most user-unfriendly site I have ever had the pleasure or misfortune of visiting. As I signed in this morning, I was greeted with a nice graphic of a three-step process that read something like "Upload your image; Upload your AR graphic(s); Share with your friends."
Now having read that, I thought "Sweet. I'll nip on here, upload an image and a very simple graphic and I'll be done with it by lunchtime."
What proceeded can be described - very accurately - as not being the case. I uploaded my image fine. No real problems there. I then proceeded to look around to find the place to upload the graphic that I made for the purpose of the test. No such place was found. What was found, though, was a big list of pages on the site that might possible hold the key to my finding the place in which to upload my 3D model.
On having read them all, I was none the wiser. I found a little programme that converted my model to the file type that the site and app. supports, but with what to do with said file type I still had no idea.
Then, Andy Woods from Double Fine studios did a Skype interview with the third years. Naturally, I gatecrashed this and learnt a great deal. So today isn't all bad.
Still. Layar can go away. Possibly forever. Or maybe until I can find someone who can help me with it.
Peace.
