200 word reflection:
At the start of this year, I had no knowledge of 3D work at all. This has been a strange challenge to take on for the first time, however I am quite surprised at how quick I managed to pick up on the basics of 3D modelling. I am moderately confident in building a simple 3D model and using skilled techniques I’ve learnt over the weeks. I really liked and feel I did well in building the model from scratch, the detail process in both Maya and Substance Painter, applying textures and altering its style. I feel like I can improve on and learn more about rendering, avoiding issues through combining/connecting shapes, and UV mapping correctly. The advice and guidance I had got from my tutors over the past few weeks had been very helpful in times I was unsure of the next step or stuck with errors. Also, seeing my class’ efforts has inspired me in my progress as most of us are starting 3D for the first time. I feel I have done quite well to produce this mantel clock with the research, reference, design, modelling, and texturing I have gathered and created.
