Reflecting on Maya

Today in class we reflected on our abilities in Maya, what we've done well in, what we haven't done well in, the tools we've learnt and what we could improve on. These were my points;

Did well/confident in:

• Able to use tools such as the Extrude tool

• Able to use edge loops

• Good at creating concept art for assets

• Used vertices to shape models

Haven't done that well in:

• UV mapping

• Texturing

• Bump mapping

• Updating this blog regularly

Tools learnt/used:

• Extrude tool

• Edge loops

• Bevelling

Areas for improvement:

• UV mapping- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brh1JRL9OoY, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQKdfJ1vVnQ

• Texturing- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIFNgPbDHvY

• Lowering polycount/creating low poly models- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ihsko_sSZ0

• Bump mapping- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-WDU4uZRvM

• Overall be quicker at modelling
