Ok its been quite a while since I posted anything on here, This is mainly because I put so much effort into finishing my final project that I didn't even want to see a computer again! the mear sight of photoshop or flash makes me cringe. But ahh well worse things have happened, I got my project in on time (just).
I've got mixed feelings about it really it got to the point that there shouldn't have been enough hours to get it done, but I managed to finish it however the quality wasn't as I'd planned it to be. I found a few mistakes with the coding, simple stuff really but I didn't have the time to check it through, but at the same time I'm happy I got it in on time. I'm hoping that it does alright (atleast passes) and then I can look forward to the next year after I've had a wicked summer. And next year I'm going to get my project management skills sorted, it's always been my problem and stopped me working to my best so it's time to change. Anyway I'll post my final piece up soonish, after I've made a few changes.
So onwards and upwards but what I am most disappointed with is my 3D work on my Identities project. This is the area that I want to go into next year and my Avatar wasn't what I intended. I spent too long learning the program and then ran out of time at the end, so I didn't have time to texture it properly and ended up with very basic colours and no shirt!
So I want to solve this and do some 3D work of my own, the reasons for this are simple... I spent a lot of time learning 3D studio max so the skills are there but they don't show in my final project, also I want to develop my skills further so I get much better and finally I'm really interested in part of the character designing project that will be in the 3rd year (I think). This sounds wicked I've always been interested in character design and this would be my ideal career (if i'm very very lucky).
So over the summer I'm going to design and atleast start 3D modelling a couple of cool characters. I want a real final fantasy style look to these characters because they are probably some of the characters in any form of media that mean the most to me, probably because the games and so long and deep that you feel like you've actually gone on a journey with them. I probably won't be able to achieve this but I want to design a cool couple of characters and see how it turns out. Anyway I'll post up some rough sketches soon, till then....
