Reflection

I really enjoyed this project! Coming into this year I was still unsure of the 3D programs, but after working in unreal, getting to make more models and textures etc, I think I’ve changed my interests from 2D to 3D! I love texturing and modelling, I still struggle with UVs but I believe I’ve definitely gotten better with this assignment. I have more experience now with Maya and Substance Painter, and I’m much more confident in these programs. Lighting a scene in Unreal was also surprisingly enjoyable, I spent hours just making my lights colourful and playing around with shadow colours and effects, and I believe I can say I understand the process much more. Working in a group again was pleasant, my team were so hardworking and creative!

I still have a lot to learn when it comes to 3D techniques, but I truly hope I can spend some more time getting experienced with the programs as I’m fascinated with the 3D pipeline. Once again, however, I need to manage my time better, I find it hard to work when I don’t have a plan, and I found it quite hard this time to make a plan as I didn’t really know how to go about this assignment! Thankfully I’ve now got this experience to help in the future.
