Final Thoughts of Art Test 2

Final thoughts on the Radiant World Loot Chest Art Test.

In the past 3/4 weeks I feel that I have come a long way. I started off a week down, with the bare minimum knowledge of Maya, just enough to get me buy as far as basic building skills. I was unable to finish this chest as far as I would have liked and wanted to do, I got 85% of it done as far as I feel about it, if I hadn't have stupidly thought we had to create our own chest I am sure I would have actually gotten it finished. I ended up creating the same loot chest at least 7 times and everytime I created one I got so much faster at it, in the end the final model that I used took just a day and a half to do all over.

I enjoyed this art test much more than the first, in my mind I achieved more in this one as I felt I had a lot to overcome with my knowledge and even though I don't feel like I have finished this test, I learned so much more and to me that is more valuable!

I am still not sure what I want to specialise in just yet, I love creating assets like this, but I also loved drawing the characters in the first art test. At least I have narrowed it down to two fields. Character Creation and 3D Asset Creator.
