HA4 Task 1 – outline
I did read the brief thoroughly and took an estimated guess of the timescale as to what point I would finish the assignment and concluded I might have not enough time to meet the deadline. Other than that I was perfectly clear on what I had to do and further questioning was not needed. I understood the way in which the assignment was designing and how the grades were awarded. I researched the product and client briefly before starting the assignment, I reflected heavily on the skills I developed during the introduction to modeller sessions, yet equally finding new and efficient ways to work in with the tools I was given. I did look around at the list of rooms before starting to see which two rooms would be equally balanced, time scale wise, as to try to have good amount of time spent on both rather than rushing through the project. I also broke down the tasks into each of the project elements, scheduling them out carefully as to when each one should be worked on.
HA4 Task 2 – Plan
Unfortunately I did not create a production log early on; however I did save the projects at a certain points in the production so I could later log them. This was done to achieve the most of the time I had allocated to creating the projects. I spent a considerable amount of time measuring each room, then the necessary furnishing. If something didn’t look right I would get second measurements to see if I, made a mistake in the measurement or if I set the lengs wrong in the client. The log of diagrams I made, were clear and precise.
HA4 Task 3 – Respond
I learned during the 3D modelling of my two areas, that it’s good to experiment with different tools to try to get the right shape rather than sticking to the same few tools, that scaling is an important element when creating an environment, reference images are really important to get the area right, I also learned that there are many different way to get the right shape while modelling.
HA4 Task 4 – Review
I believe my finished product achieved the aim of the project. As explained in [HA4 Task 1 – Outline] I understood the brief and what I needed to do, the assignment was clear to me I did some background research on the client before starting, I reflected on the skills I had gained from the introduction to modeller sessions, along with my own knowledge. I planned out what rooms and what work needed to be done and when. However a weakness in my design process was probably delaying the time on making a production log when I should have done it while working on the project to be more time efficient, as explained in [Ha4 Task 2 – Plan]. Overall I am happy which my project I could have been more efficient but I was able to get the work done in an acceptable timeframe.
