This project has taught me so much, espsecially focusing on realistic texturing and the use of Substance Painter and Maya. I also learnt new skills such as creating particle simulations. Creating this realistic and creative model has developed my design skills, including model design, texture design, theme and colour design. Creatively, it has enabled me to bloom in all of these fields of VFX.
I ran into may obstacles, including topology and UV troubleshooting, so my problem solving within 33D modelling and texturing has been challenged, and I was able to solve these efficiently.
I am very happy with the outcome of this project, it was exactly what I had in mind when I started this project, and the results were perfectly in line with what I had challenged myself to create.
