 This week I began Modelling my 3D meshes with the simplest and quickest assets to make. These being Books, Paper, Table & Chair. To set a good foundation I changed Maya's default grid settings to match unreal engine and imported a couple Unreal Engine starter assets as a reference for scale, then modelling began.

For the the honours project I am in charge of what brief I get to complete within the upcoming working weeks. After exploring some examples briefs and taking into account the work I had submitted for similar previous year 2 briefs I have chosen to fulfil a 3D Modelling diorama brief. I will be spending this project time creating multiple game engine ready assets complete with textures and I will then use those assets within the Unreal Engine software to create a scene environment in which these models feel in place.  The goals of this brief is to speed up my modelling and texturing workflow with room to further develop both of these skills further for a higher standard of work then I have done previously.  My project plan As of starting this project here is the way I expect to be scheduling my time.  Week #1 - Research & early documentation.  Week #2 - Begin modelling individual assets.  Week #3 - Finish modelling all needed assets & begin texturing them...
