Reaction to the Brief

My initial reaction to the brief is that this will be a very challenging module, building on the skills and techniques that were learned in the second year 3D Modelling and Animation module. I very much enjoyed working with 3D Studio Max last year and I am looking forward to working with this program again, expanding my knowledge of the software and learning new techniques.

The first part of the assignment for this module will be to create a model of my face. Knowing what I already know about 3D Studio Max, I predict this will be a complicated assignment, but one which will give great satisfaction once achieved. Last year I modelled the Golden Gate Bridge, however this was a fairly rigid structure with less curvature. I have no doubt that the face will present an even bigger challenge.

The second part of the assignment for this module will be to create an animation of how the Guildhall in Finchingfield has been used over the centuries. This is a group project. Once again I feel this will be a very complicated process and therefore, in order to achieve maximum results, it will be important that the work is shared out equally between all members of the group and that everybody pulls together. However, I am very much looking forward to the challenge of this module and seeing the final production.
