IMD 3901 : Milestone 4 - noreenqureshi/TermProjectBlogposts GitHub Wiki

March 2, 2021

Overview

This week, I made more progress on the 3D models for one of the level layouts. I managed to create two medium-fidelity models, and two low-fidelity models. There are approximately 3 low-fidelity models in the scene that have yet to be turned into medium-fidelity models. After all these models are made, they may be duplicated and slightly modified, to populate the scene with more objects.

Challenges

For this week, I was preparing for a midterm, and also working on a programming heavy assignment for another class. This took a lot of energy out of me, so it was difficult to begin 3D modelling this week. Preparing for the midterm and programming for the assignment required some high level problem solving which was quite different than my approach to 3D modelling. Although 3D modelling is more design heavy, I was still pretty drained from my other class.

Successes

One of my successes was finishing two medium-fidelity models. I am glad that I moved past the low-poly state, and bumped up the models to medium-fidelity. Additionally, I only have approximately 3 objects left to low-poly model (and then transform into medium-fidelity models). This means that the modelling part of the scene is almost complete, and I can move on to UV mapping.

Total hours spent this week: 5.5

Next steps

For next week, I hope to have all medium-fidelity models complete. This was my goal for last week as well, but unfortunately I did not achieve this due to being preoccupied with another course. This week I will work hard to complete the models, and I hope to begin UV mapping!
