Evaluation,
I think I did some great work for this Unit and maybe some of it was not so great. I think the best way to summarise this Unit as a whole is by evaluating it one task at a time.
Task 1,
Task 1 was to create a Schedule. This Schedule was there to basically practise working on deadlines and to plan ahead. I found that some tasks I did a lot quicker than I had anticipated and other lasted a bit longer. I think overall, my timing was similar to the dates I had down on the excel table.
Task 2,
In this task, I had to gather research on my chosen theme. The theme I chose was Space Mining Settlement. I decided to gather a bunch of research on the common objects and settings that you would expect to see in a mine. With these I could develop my own ideas and help inspire my final outcome. I think that the range of research that I gathered was sufficient as it helped me with my work in the following task.
Task 3,
In Task 3, I created a bunch of different designs. Some of these designs I used and others I didn't. I started out by creating a top-down view of my level. After this I created a few different drawings of the objects that could be in my environment. I think that these drawings weren't exactly my strong point of this unit however, these are only ideas I don't think that they need to be masterpieces.
Task 4,
In the legal and ethical task I had to talk about copyright and ethics. I had to give positives and negatives on both elements, I looked on some case studies and talked about them and finally I talked about the constraints.
Task 5,
This task is where I moved onto the production of my environment. To do this task effectively, I needed to create assets in different files/modules. This means that I could focus on one object at a time. When I created all the assets, I compiled them into one big file within Blender. I think that my 3D modelling skills have definitely improved due to this unit and it was great fun trying different ways to create these models.
Task 6,
In this task, I used Blender to create an animation of me traversing throughout my environment. I did this because I wanted to add a kind of cinematic effect instead of being just a video showing you what I had done.
Task 7,
This task required me to take screenshots of my complete environment. I also added a video of my walking though my level using OBS.
As a whole I think that the mine I created is suitable for the theme I chose. The one thing I would have done differently if I was to do this Unit again would be to add a outdoor part to actually see space and to see the face of Mars. I would have added a space skybox too the game as well.
