Interim 1

Peer Review

The first interim only consisted of 2 elements: the report and its bibliography – both of which were completed in full before the start of the new academic year. Unfortunately, I’d encountered a publishing error toward the end of the written report, which I didn’t notice at the time. Both James and Caz referred the task for its missing work, which I agree with entirely. Luckily, it was a simple fix involving WordPress’ auto-save feature. I also introduced a few more related images for visual aid.

Firstly, I’m really happy with the attention to detail and effort put into this feedback – thank you. I felt I put a lot of hard work into the critical report and I’m really glad to see it pay off. In terms of 1st hand research into the workflow of an environment artist, I should have reflected what I had learnt in my own practical work. In hindsight, it would have been a good idea to compare what I had learnt with my previous, personal pipeline in past projects. At least, that is my understanding of 1st hand research outside of asking professionals already in the industry.

Interim 2

Peer Review

James thoughtfully pointed out that although my general research is great, there are inconsistencies present. E.g. I made sure to include research in other mediums in most topics I studied but the ‘guns’ section got very little attention, in comparison. I won’t be going back to this task to improve upon this area but it is something I’ll make sure to remember for this year’s final major project. This peer feedback has also brought light to my incomplete bibliography; there’s not much missing from it so it shouldn’t take long to amend.

Interim 3

Peer Review

James and I agreed that filling in the peer review for interim 3 was a good idea because it allows me to move onto other more important tasks, like the final evaluation. However, this is something that needs to be taken into consideration when scrutinising the marks above, being 20 days early. My development log looks quite bare because the formatting is poor and spaced out awkwardly, so I’m going to amend this right away. At this point, I have GIFs of the final products uploaded to my artstation portfolio, but Ash recommended I spend some more time learning how to use animation sequences to get a better, more accurate finish. On a side note, I’ve completed this section to a pass standard, which is something I will be spending more time on when it becomes most important.
