1609 CDC Reflection

       CDC Reflection

This is a repeat class for me and I notice significant improvement from the first time awhile back. I have understood more and took much more time and effort into my work. I am still learning to manage my time more efficiently, I just started working and now that is more thing to add to my responsibilities but I don't think I'm doing too terrible. I really enjoyed this class and felt I can take more away from it.

This is the resurfaced arm mesh. I put a good bit of time into it, I think I did good as far as even topology, not in all parts as I do need to practice more with the quad-draw and good edge flows. I did manage to forget to take snapshots of pre-production as these are final images.

This is a reference I used for the sleeve, It is on the same arm I modeled. I found all my reference images from 3D.sk The model is titled Karolina. I thought she had an acceptable muscular arm, I did not see anywhere that it had to be male.

What worked and what didn't?

I think my refacing, for the most part, worked. It is still in need of work. I don't think the sculpt worked. I spent six hours in ZBrush and started over at least three times. I still have noticeable artifacts and getting the tertiary details was difficult for me. 

What would you do differently next time?

The lecture activities for sure. I was more into my projects than the lecture activities. Another major one would be ZBrush. I am still trying to learn the brushes and moving to get every angle to match the reference. I would try to do better with my sculpts.

Did you encounter any major issues, if so, how did you adapt?

Adding to ZBrush, I did adapt. I did not give up I pushed through and wanted to fully finish this assignment. 

How did the end result come out?

 Honestly, I wish I had more time. I think it was my biggest problem. I am not good at and am still trying to manage my time more efficiently. But I do believe practice makes perfect. I do need to work on all of it, the modeling itself, the sculpting, and even resurfacing. It all needs more work honestly.
