Reaction To Prototype Feedback

After submitting the models for some feedback, there is a lot of room for improvement, and this will be discussed throughout the written work, as the blog posts will be updated. Furthermore, the models will also be updated and in some cases remade based upon some of the feedback.

Although, there was a lot of initial research into the brief using words and images, more of this will be incorporated into the later stages of the work as well. This is because, research doesn't just stop once the first bit is done, to make a model sophisticated, constant reference to images and research is vital to keeping to the intended outcome that is desired.

One of the crucial elements that requires a lot of attention in the remaining time left before the deadline, is to become more confident with using the different tools available within 3DS Max 10, and not just sticking to the basic extrude and mesh smooth tools. Instead, using the cut and remove tools along with more of the tools and modifiers available in the program to produce more sophisticated models. This will be the biggest challenge, and will produce the largest learning curve throughout the course.

Plus, one of the fundamental elements about this trailer that has been overlooked thus far, the character model was based upon a Lego toy, although everything else was intended to look realistic. However, it should be one or the other, if they are both combined, it would appear that one is in the wrong reality, it should all appear unrealistic and toy like or all life like. The decision that has been made, is to make it as realistic as possible. If the lego theme was to be incorporated throughout, I run the risk of it not looking like anything rather than it looking like something if were realistic. Therefore, the character model will need to be created again.

Overall, the project is making good progress, but there is a lot of room for improvement, and this will be addressed throughout the remaining time until the final application is submitted.
