I had unfortunately not managed to fully complete this one. I think this semester I just had a lot of difficulty settling into a new environment, and was dealing with my mental and physical health on top of that. However, despite all of that, I feel like I’ve learnt a great deal so far! Even though there are things that I think could be improved about my model, there are a lot of things that I know how I would fix now, and I’ve expanded my knowledge a lot since the beginning of the school year. I went from not having touched Blender at all, to creating a fully retopologised and textured character model all on my own. I think I still have a lot of learn, but overall I’m really happy with how I’ve progressed, and I think if I were to do this project again, I would be able to apply my new knowledge and create something even better.
It was really fun transitioning from modelling to sculpting! As I had no previous 3D experience, I was able to utilise the drawing skills I had and create a whole character, which was incredibly interesting. Again though, I wish that I had kept up a little better, as even with an extension I wasn’t able to fully complete this project.
After the animation studio assignment as well though, I now better know the importance of keeping the blog every week and will attempt to be better at keeping up with work next semester, as it makes things a lot easier down the line instead of all my work just piling up.
