Evaluation Of My Work

Looking back on my work I am happy with what I produced. My favourite part of which is my fire. Having never created fire before and only limited use of particle systems before I am surprised at how realistic I managed to make it look.

As I went along through this project I found I was going back to different parts of it just to make slight edits until I thought the model was perfect. This was very much the case with the part of the pump I created. I actually created two different types when initially modelling. One from several shapes pieced together and the other made all from a solid box. The solid box gave the best image by far and seen as I actually started work on the other one first, I actually got frustrated with myself for not realising how much easier this would have been…Needless to say I deleted the first file in anger! Looking back on this I probably should have made some screenshots – or pushed myself to make an update to my blog at the time showing what I was doing.

I would have liked to included a liquid of some sort in my modelling but it just proved too much of a task to me. As shown from my initial modelling I had a concept but lacked the knowledge in progressing this into a convincing substance. I’m sure as I gain more experience with 3ds Max I will attempt to model water once again and succeed in time. For now though I feel as if I have become more confident with the program and much more time efficient in what I can produce.
