This assignment was my first introduction to sculpting, I had always been interested in learning to sculpt but had never given it a chance. Overall, I found sculpting quite hard to get used to and didn’t feel as though I was using the tools correctly even when following tutorials. I still enjoy seeing other sculpts but personally I feel that it is something that I will need to practise more before I can feel comfortable using it in a project.
Retopology was something that I was very excited to learn as it would help with a personal hobby of mine. I ran into some issues when doing it on my own model but I feel as though I can get a proper feel for the correct workflow through more practice. I will be looking into other methods of retopology in my own time which might help with future assignments if permitted.
I have had some previous experience with rigging from previous courses and hobby work so I wasn’t too confused when working on that part of the mode. I did run into an issue with the symmetrize but this was easily fixed through duplicating and mirroring. I was lucky to not run into issues with my rig as I wouldn’t have enjoyed having to weight paint any issues.
While I had no issues with the rig, I wasn’t too happy with the pose that I ended up with, however this is entirely an issue with my skill and not the rig. I probably could have pushed the pose a bit more but I feel like I haven’t experimented with posing much to do this at the moment.
Overall, I rather enjoyed this assignment despite running into a few issues.
