My favourite activity and my passion is to create and develop video games. I want to pursue it as a career. To develop video games, one must know several different techniques that are to be used while creating the game and one of the most important is 3D modelling and designing. So to do that I learned a software named Blender to design 3D models and sprites for my CAS experience and created some different 3D models by myself.
After learning the software through different sources, I tried to create some models by myself. At first, I attempted to make some models out of simple polygons and planes which became very easy after 2-3 tries. Although, when I tried to create complex figures and human figures, I found it too difficult for me, consuming too much time without it being close to perfect. After several attempts I found a way to use polygons to create complex figures which made it very easy and helped me narrow down my reach. Knowing what I could make at my current level, I researched and learned about different tools available in the software to help me learn how to create complex figures. Doing this had and will help me create several 3D models.
When all that process finished, I created 2 different models of spaceships.
It was my first proper complex figure and its creation required newly learned tools and features of the software which made it more challenging than it already was. Another challenge was that 3D designing was something that I did for the first time so errors were pretty common. I was very determined to complete this project and to do that I was constantly learning different tools while progressing in creating the product. Taking this up as a new challenge helped me gain a lot of experience and knowledge about the career I want to pursue. This also enhanced my critical and creative thinking skills while modelling and designing which could even help me create better and greater models in the future.
To conclude, this experience was a very interesting, helpful and enjoyable experience. It developed several of my skills and even allowed me to gain new skills which will also help me develop more in terms of my career choice.
