Week 1
It’s the end of my first week on the game art
course at De Montfort as a first year student, and overall as a general feeling
about the weeks to come, I feel pretty relaxed and excited for most of the
projects we were informed of in advance.
This week for my visual design side of the course I
looked at 1 point perspective an even though I understand it as I’ve previously
looked at and practiced it, I still find it slightly difficult to get the right
horizon line when sketching my 1 point perspective scene out. However as I
completed some quick thumb nail sketches to really help set out the base and
proportions on my page ready to do a final, I used to feel slightly put out by
not getting straight into a final, but now I see how beneficial it is and
actually feel that it also a warm up for the final piece.
One side of the course that I find really isn’t my
strong point is the 3D game production side, as although I feel I know can
perform the basic necessities needed in the industry for creating 3d assets, I
still feel that I need to continue to practice and experiment with Photoshop as
my textures lack, which doesn’t help give my finished asset some of the
believability it needs. However this week was really going of the basic tools
of 3Ds Max and trying to understand some of the guidelines that are in place to
follow when creating 3D assets and why we follow them. I think I have a pretty
good understanding of 3D modelling now and I really enjoy it which I think is
an important part to have if I want this as a career, I also think that my
unwrapping and Uv mapping skills are getting so much better already with the
organization and tidiness of them, I think it’s actually one of my favorite
parts of 3D.
