Digital Literacy Evaluation
This assignment has been challenging for me as I had never used a 3D modelling software before.
In the first week, I found Blender very difficult to use. I struggled to understand even the basics like how to add a mesh and the controls were awkward for me to get used to. The most challenging thing throughout this assignment for me has definitely been the modelling aspect of this course. I feel like none of my models look quite right, always a bit off and kind of janky. For example, the wings of my Zubat – the edges are clunky and round in places they are meant to be sharp. However, I am extremely proud of my sword and my helmet as while they are not perfect, for my first time modeling entirely on my own I believe there has been a massive improvement from my very first model, the snowman.
I enjoyed learning how to texture my models. Using Subspace, while difficult, has been really fun. I’m surprised I found UV modelling as easy as I did and I’m even more shocked at how much I enjoy doing. However, my favourite part of all was Animating. I believe my animation skills have improved the most over the past few weeks and I am extremely proud of myself.
