Art Project 4- Day 40

This current project is now finished.

This time round I had to be more independent and manage the project myself. I had to work out how much time I should allow for each task. I think I worked out the timing fairly well, creating a schedule on my brief and creating deadlines in my google calendar.

Overall I stuck to my plan fairly well, only missing one deadline for my textures. I think setting goals for each stage of development helped me to stay on top of my work and stay on track.

If I had missed one of my goals by a bigger margin, then it could have been a bigger problem. In future projects I should allow extra time if anything happens, in this case I took some time off this project to go back over some previous units.

My google calendar proved to to be useful. At the start of the project I had set up reminders for each of my goals to keep me on track.
A nice feature of the google calendar is that as it is bound to my google account, I can view it on multiple devices, so I could receive reminders through my phone along with email reminders and viewing it on a PC too. So I'm always aware of when my next goal deadline is and I can work to meet it.

Having to manage my own project and it's pacing was a good experience for me, especially since I've applied for uni next year, and I'd have to be much more independent at Uni.

Art Project 4- Day 39

I  have completly finished the whole model and created the renders for her. I have 5 renders showing a turn around of the model.

Art Project 4- Day 37

With the UV's all sorted today was simply about mirroring the model over to creat the full fox. There were a few bugs with tring to mirror, but Simon helped me out to fix it. So now she's fully fleshed out and is just in need of her final fur texture.The current texture is just a place holder of matte colours with no blending. The final texture should have a nice fur effect which will help with blending the different colours together.

Art Project 4- Day 36

Phew, It took a week, but I got the UV's all done :)

While creating the UV's I was experimenting with the textures too, this was from my first try at looking at how the markings may look and also help me clear up some of the seams, which are more noticeble on the tail. I was also experimenting with creating fur with the use of photoshop brushes.

Also while experimenting and moving the UV's I accedentally created this eye marking. It won't be used but I snaped a pic of it cause I thought it looked cool :)

Progress check

I'm not currently on target to complete my textures and UV's. With a week left I am feeling the pressure a little bit to make sure I get it finished on time.
