New Year, New Blog

Hello and welcome to my third year blog. This blog will be outlining what I have done in all of my projects throughout my third year. I will be writing about what I have learnt and the problems that I have faced and how I have overcome them. This blog will be more professional than my last blog (so unfortunately no more animated cat GIFs!) and will hopefully demonstrate my projects in a proficient manner.

Last year I learnt many new things and fully decided that I would like to concentrate on being a 3D Environment and Props artist, as that is what I most enjoy doing and what I feel I have more skill in. Over the summer, I set myself an environment project to do, unfortunately I didn’t quite finish it, but I learnt a few new things on UDK and it stopped my mind from getting too full of rubbish from not working.

I decided on a definite idea for my final major project as well. I would love to create a large manor house, where every asset is beautiful and ornate. I’m not sure how any gameplay elements will work with this idea, but this can be refined later, at least I have an initial idea. I have been to a few manor houses and National Trust properties, I have primary photographs and books that I have collected over the years. I should have more than enough reference for this project and I am very enthusiastic to carry it out, so hopefully I can refine it into a clearer idea.

All in all, I am looking forward to starting third year, I want some new challenges and can’t wait to see how my work will improve. Ultimately, I want a job now, but I know that I don’t quite have the skills required and I would like to finish my degree.
