For this trimester I have been working on these two environments as well as watching numerous tutorials from Digital Tutors that were about lighting, scene creation as well as texturing. I've dedicated a lot of my time to my first environment over the tri. Originally I planned to do four environments however I personally did not realise how long an environment would take to build. Once3 I realised this, I thought it would be better to take my time with the environment so that it wasn't rushed and built with any errors. I never fully grasped the meaning I was taught as a goalkeeper "Quality, not quantity" until this trimester when I started building my first environment.
With it being my first environment, it took a lot more time than expected but by taking my time I have learnt spline modelling, lofting, uv unwrapping, texturing and I have also been able to improve my modular workflow so that I can, in future, create environments of a better quality in a shorter amount of time.
With my corridor environment, although I do have a completed version I have imported the environment into Unreal 4 and will hopefully have the finalized work up on this blog before I fly over seas on Friday.
