Acorn Interaction Counting

When Looking at my interactive environment, although I had the flower models lighting interaction working, I felt the game needed to have at least some more interaction. This was then I came up with the count acorn game idea.

As you can see from this image, The are 4 piles of acorns each representing the visual amount of the numbers from 1 to 4.

I then decided it would be a good idea to show the symbol next to the pile of acorns stating the amount in each pile. Instead of placing the model symbols next to them, I decided to create a triger in which when the player went near each plie of acorns the number would animate and appear when entered the trigger's radius. When they moved away from the acorn the number would disappear.

Here are the images of acorns 1 and 4.

I wanted to show the number symbol and the visual amount of the number so it would help the young players who would play this game to get a better understanding of numbers. The acrons are also in order from 1 to 4 when you move along side them you are counting up.
