Reflection of 3d environment

Reflection of 3d Environment
• What did you do and how did you do it? / Does your final product meet your original intentions? If it does not match your planning explain why
• First of all we all planned which part of saltaire we would do individually as we had teams of about 5/6 which all had their own place to model for the trailer. We chose saltaire because it’s a historic place and it’s right on our doorstep so we used it to our advantage, I had to make part of Roberts Park and a tomb that we decided was going to be in the trailer.
• I was also going to make a spectre as a character for the trailer but decided I did not have enough time for that so I just made the environment because the trailer was mainly for environments, I put as much detail into the environment as possible for the time I had and it turned out well but if I had more time I could of made it much better I think.

• Self evaluation – how did you manage your time? How could you manage your time more effectively? I think I managed my time pretty well but I didn’t realise how much time there really was I thought there was more than there actually was and that I could relax because I had plenty of time, if I had the chance to do it again I would of concentrated more and made it much better detailed.
• What did you struggle with?  I struggled with a part in 3d max when i had to create the background sky because it was making the shadow of the objects in my environment show on my dome so i had to create a background that was just blue and put mountains in the background to make it more realistic.
• How does your finished video compare to professional examples? I think the finished trailer was quite good and professional but still not as good as a proper professional trailer.
• What do other people think of your finished video? It was generally positive feedback because we put the video on YouTube and got 150 views so far and quite a few comments which are mainly positive.
• What could you improve upon? I could have improved on the detail of the environment and made it bigger.
• If you were to do it again what would you do differently next time? , It’s not about the finished product, it’s about the journey. What did you learn? I would make sure i concentrated more during the time I had because I didn’t realise how quick it really was to finish the trailer in time, i learnt how to use many different uses for Photoshop and learnt how to use different software’s such as 3dmax.
