I am very excited to be moving into solely 3D for the rest of the year. When I first joined the Game Design pathway, this is exactly what I was expecting to be going into. I've been waiting for two and a half years to be told "All that's left now is 3D and programming." No more distractions, no more worrying about learning color theory or "Why do we yellow banana?", just 3D and programming from here on out. I am going to have a lot of fun in the up coming months.
Getting back into working with 3D Modeling for the first time this year has been great. I'm glad the that the majority of my skills continue to remain fresh, such as maneuvering the camera around and actually molding the shapes into the positions I'd like them to be. However, some of the nuances behind texturing and rendering are still a bit fuzzy, but I imagine those will start to come back to me with time.

This has been one hell of a year. I have seen myself develop a lot on an educational scale, and AGAD certainly hasn't been an exception. On the contrary, I believe it has exemplified my development. Everything from managing the development of a Board Game, to escorting kids during Game Night, has really made me think about this industry in a new light. I, really could make it in the Game Design industry. This really could be the job option that I could spend a good, long portion of my life dealing with. Its weird to think about how I took this class on a whim. I wasn't allowed to take theater, so I had to look for a replacement, and this was it. And now, I'm looking at a serious career that I'll need and want to do well in.
This year has also helped me understand that, this is a job. This is serious business, this is something that companies spend millions of dollars a year doing, and making millions back. They look for professionals, people willing to work hard and do what needs to be done, and if you don't stop being childish and goofing around, there can be serious consequences. Your personality, your day to day decisions, can and will determine whether you stay at your job, and this year, with the tightening of the noose on who gets to proceed further into Advanced Studies, has really opened my eyes to that. |
AuthorI am 17 years old, and currently enrolled in Durham School of the Arts. Within the Game Design field, I'm looking to become a game writer or a programmer, preferably a combination of the two.
