First Textures

1. So far I have learned that 3D modeling is not as difficult as you might think it is, but that doesn't take away form the fact that it's not for everyone. I found out how to build simple shapes and how to manipulate, which allows for one's imagination to take hold.

2. Well, I think that my biggest challenge so far in 3D modeling would have to be the design stage, which comes before the actual modeling stage. There are many ideas that just randomly linger in my mind, but the challenge is being able to take it from paper to screen, which is not impossible but rather laborious, since I am such a NOOB.

3. I think that the design for my castle was pretty simple, which i didn't really like. So I guess I would start out with an over all better design, then have a larger scale layout for it, with more eye candy.

4. Yes, I am inclined to admitt that the research sketching was in fact very helpful. If i didn' t have that, my castle would have been even more simplistic than it already is, not saying that it still isn't cool and interesting or anything.

First IMD Renders

I thought that the stairs were what really brought out the artist in me. They really let me express a lot of feelings and emotions. I also thought that it was pretty cool how there were different ways to render objects.
