Evaulation
I felt during this project there was a massive improvement over the last project
as I felt I knew what I was doing, and not stressing anywhere near as much as to what I had been before. This project was much less ambitious than the last one, even if I love to be ambitious this would make it completely painful to work on especially on my own, for which happen a bit with project 1.
​
I wanted to see what I could do with the miniature theme which has given me unique ideas, with the places being made with fruits and plants to give distinction to each area.
I was on something that I enjoyed more personally, and I've had a lot of ideas for the concept of Little World: Curse of the Shadow Bugs as I love to draw these types of creatures though currently have not done any progress on the game in unreal engine but I really didn't have time for that as it would made be get stressed with time management.
I also started using substance painter to texture my models I did good on the model with only started to use substance painter with my favourite being the leaf bright.
The only real part I didn't like was the rigging as it was very broken and it often crashed on me which made me mad, I did only get one rig done for walking for Buzz but I didn't do any more as it would of taken too long.
The reason I chose sonic the hedgehog as my main theme as it was my favourite franchise of all time and my drawing might assisted with the art style.
A gannet chart would help me a lot in time management as I am not too good at it on my projects.
Evaluation after a few months
After finishing project 3 I decided to finish project 2 with the enhanced knowledge of applications with Blender.
After lot of additions from last couple of months, this has the most models and sketches of any project I have done. Though this project might not reach the Unreal Engine as the models tank the frame rate, and I need to spend more time working on optimising my assets.
The game I am making seems to have a lot more detail now, which is what I didn't do last year in this course.
The new things I have done are shown below:
Updated the tittle card to be more unique
Added character sketches
Textured character models
Making the interiors of buildings.
Improving older models
Adding hud elements
I even modelled the entire town of Leafyville by grouping most of my models together
This is one of my favourite projects to work on as I made so many ideas that don't seem to demanding of me and making the models where also very fun to make.
