Assignment 1 – 3D Environment Reflection
This project was very different from anything I have done before. It was interesting to learn how to use Unreal Engine 4 and it’s definitely a software I plan to use more. I enjoyed working in a group to divide the workload and each create assets to put in our own scenes. My team was very organised and we all finished our models in the time we had set.
The tutors provided loads of helpful video tutorials to follow along with which I would have been lost and overwhelmed without. I especially enjoyed working with the cameras to create various shots in UE4. This is something I’m very new to, but it was a lot of fun to experiment with.
If I were to do this project again, I would work on my time management towards the end as I took too long modelling the room and didn’t leave myself enough time to work on the lighting. I feel that the lighting in my scene could have added more ambience to the scene had I have spent more time perfecting it instead of rushing through it. However, overall I am very proud of the result and I would really like to work on more environments like this in the future.
