In this post I am going to analyse my own assignment and explain what my strengths and weaknesses are using 3D modelling in Blender.
Firstly, Beginning with the tutorials. I believe my most noticeable weakness is when I had to create a 3D car . Extruding and then adjusting the vertex to create the 3D car is what I found the most struggling simplest because I found it hard to get the vertex in the correct place. I also found creating the belt extremely difficult because I couldn't create the curve as I wanted it to be although I did try different techniques such as using the nurbs curve and then making it thick which did create a belt looking shape but I found that I couldn't add the circles into the circle as well as finding it difficult to add the buckle etc. However since practising and using blender a lot more since that task I have realised that I am capable of doing tasks like that, For instance creating my pistol and a similar technique and I found it easy enough to complete and create the pistol using the same extruding and adjusting technique which was used in the car tutorial.
my biggest strength and most enjoyable thing in 3D modelling is doing subdivisions and adding modifier to the objects. For instance I personally would enjoy sitting there and creating several assets such as the card and the gun even if it involved adding the sub divisions, modifying it and texturing it and so on. Just so at the end of the asset it looks a lot more presentable, have a lot more detail and is a pleasure to look at and be proud off.
At the beginning of doing 3D modelling, I thought it would be impossible to achieve the correct standards of the criteria but since I have practised, followed and watched so many tutorials. I have realised that 3D modelling is a skill which takes a lot of patience, dedication and you need to be able to solve problems by thinking outside of the box, being smart and defiantly having to be creative. I personally think that when I first started 3D modelling, My work could of gone a lot better - There is a lot of improvements that Id like to make. Although I noticed that once I was left alone creating the final assets for my 3D level. I realised that I have become a lot more talented and learnt quite alot since I first started. I personally do think that my work does meet the criteria simply because the criteria was to create the 3D models, show how you created it and so on. And that is exactly what I did, I did have difficulties and i do have quite a lot of weakness such as rotating, extruding and so on but I also know that I have over come some of the weakness'es and used them weakness to research and watch more and more tutorials. Simply so I can get to know what I am doing wrong and what I could be doing better. Basically, I know i have quite a lot of weaknesses but after practising I know that the weakness will slowly turn into strengths and I do like to believe that my work and this assignment is up up to standered within the criteria.
