I was able to finish my Low Poly Day post by the deadline! Here it is! This post will also outline what I plan on doing now that I've properly started my course.

Looking back at the piece after the fact, I wasn't that big of a fan of the final product. There's a lot of things that I could do better, like the lighting and the composition of the piece. However, I did leave that at the very end, so that's on me. I think I also just don't vibe with the low poly pipeline. I'm not the biggest fan of having such a restricting artstyle, so I think I'll stick with my high poly stuff.

With my course finally gearing up, I know that I won't be able to post my personal projects as frequently as I would like to. However, I'm still able to talk about what I do at the course (without breaking my NDA, obviously), so I've got a plan on what I can do now. Starting from next week, I'll start making new posts that entail generally what I do each week in my course. This will be different from these This Week posts, since I'll keep them separate. With the course being full-time 9-5, that leaves much less time to work on my personal stuff without burning myself out. This obviously means that I won't be able to post about it as often. I will try to make separate posts as needed in case I find time to do personal stuff. However, it seems like I'll have plenty of things to talk about during my course! One of the first big things that we are going to do is a motion capture demo! This will mean that we'll be able to see how someone can wrangle raw mo-cap data and make it into something appealing. I'm very excited to work hard in the course! i was worried that I would need to have a really good understanding of the principles of animations to make anything good in the class, but the teacher reassured me that everything that we make up to the deadline for the assessments are to give us a better understanding of the core principles.

Not really much to talk about for this week, but stay tuned for the upcoming posts talking about my course in the coming weeks! I hope it will be just as interesting as these posts!

Thank you and good-bye for today!
