Personal aspirations
DES509 – final major project
01. Foundation in real time artMy work to date has all been pre-rendered. A developmental goal from this project is to establish a solid understanding of the technical process and requirements involved in preparing assets for use in game engines.
02. specialiseThis project is heavily focused on 3D modelling specifically. Previous work has integrated a wide gamut of skills and I feel has suffered as a result. My goal is to keep this project to a tight focus with the hope of creating high quality work within that specialism
