Week 1 - Initial Thoughts

Welcome to my blog for my Virtual Environments Module, part of my 3rd year modules for my degree.

The first part of the assignment for this module, is to create our own head in 3D Studio Max. We will do this by following a series of video tutorials showing the step-by-step process of what is involved to create this 3D image.

The second part of this assignment is working as part of a group to create a 3D model of an exhibit at the Museum of Power in Langford, Maldon. This will be an interesting part of the assignment, pulling together skills from different people and working for a real client. However, the timeframe is small like the first part, and will take a lot of time and effort to complete by the end of the semester.

3D Modelling is not one of my strong areas, so personally I feel I may find this module quite challenging. Although there are video tutorials to follow for the first part, there is still a lot of work involved to complete the first part of the assignment by the end of Week 5 and the second part by Week 12. Therefore, I plan to try to keep on top of the workload to ensure I have plenty of time to get as far as I can with my own model of my head.

I will post my progress of this assignment on this blog in steps as I complete them.
