Blog Questions:
- What did you learn?
One thing I learned was how to create things from gaming software. I thought it was very interesting seeing how people create things like video games and video game characters. I only created things on Blender, but Maya looked very interesting to use also.
2. What was easy?
I thought this project was a little bit more difficult than the past ones. One thing that I did think was easy was coming up with ideas to create. I liked the idea of coming up with certain chess pieces.
3. What was challenging?
The main thing that I thought was challenging was actually creating the actual gaming piece. I was using Blender and there wasn’t as many detailed clips or directions to follow for this project so I struggled.
4. How could your submission be improved?
My submission could be improved by spending a little more time on it. I like the idea behind my chess piece, but I suppose I could have designed something a little more creative.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
One thing that I think the professor could improve for the next assignment is maybe creating some more detailed instructions for people using Blender. Other than that I really enjoyed the project.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
I really enjoyed this project, so this could potentially benefit me if I wanted to pursue a career in something like video game design.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
The professor gave us an example of a chess piece that someone created and this helped to inspire me with my chess piece. I am glad that we were given an example or I don’t think it would’ve been as easy.
