Reflecting upon this assignment, I find I’m very pleased with the progress I’ve made as an artist. Upon receiving the assignment, I was very nervous as I’ve never worked in 3D, and so I made a lot of mistakes. Through doing weekly modelling challenges and completing homework tasks, I feel like I’ve learnt a lot, and that is reflected in my final outcomes.

I faced many struggles, especially with the UV unwrapping. This particular area of 3D work is definitely my weakest and in future I will practice more to improve. Alec helped me come to terms with it well enough to complete this assignment, but it’s something I’m determined to get better at.

I had to remodel my sword and shield a few times to fully understand the best way to create them, but this process meant I learnt more techniques and became more familiar working in 3D software. When I had to remodel parts of my sword, or the body of my shield, I felt more comfortable doing it than I did at the beginning of the semester.

In summary, I think my outcomes show great improvement in my 3D skills, but I have a lot of areas that I can improve in. For the future, I’m going to focus on improving my modelling ability through practice, and also I will UV unwrap the models I make so I can practice that in particular.
