WEEK 6: Another one bites the dust

Project number 2 is done and dusted. If you don’t recall, I’ve been working on a small environment for the past couple of weeks, a few days ago I submitted the final result. This past week has been set aside as a polish week. The bulk of the environment was completed towards the end of week 2. This being the case, all that was done this week was revisiting assets, tweaking textures, models, etc.

I was quite pleased with the outcome for this project. This project was primarily used as a test for my final major project. Seeing is that I want to create an environment this was a good set up to see what I could do in 3 weeks and what I need to focus on. As always there is always something I could have done different, or something I could have done better. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time as I wanted for polishing. I did however take on board what many people were saying about the trees in my scene.

The biggest flaw was that the leaves were convincing enough, with this being said I spent several days modelling and re modelling the leaves of the tree. This may have been where I wasted time, but I was able to produce a better looking tree.

I also may have bit off more than I could chew for this project. As I mentioned previously there were several snow assets that didn’t make it into the final build of the environment as I didn’t have enough time. This inconvenience has taught me to set a project for myself that is within reach. This being said, I’m still really pleased with the amount of work i as able to complete in such a small amount of time.
