Virtual Envrionments - The Brief

1 - Model Your Own Head

My initial reaction to the brief that we will be modeling our own head in 3D Studio Max does fill me with some trepidation, not least in the fact that I will be having to stare at my own face for hours on end! After contemplating this prospect a little further I think this is a particularly interesting brief and I have wanted to work and study organic models much more after encountering several issues the last time I tried to recreate a part of the human body in 3DS. I have always been very artistic in the past and a lot of my work has been based on the human face that I find completely intriguing. I hope that I enjoy this assignment as much as I think I will.






2 - Finchingfield Guildhall

The brief concerning recreating Finchingfield Guildhall, it's impact on the local area and it's new renevations is quite exciting. I think this brief lends itself to many possibilities and various trains of thought. I am looking forward to visiting the building itself and having a look around to fuel my idea processes. I think a lot creative aspects could be put into a project like this and I very much look forward to some brain storming sessions and delving into the history and research of this historic building. The only reservation I have on this assignment is that we will be working in small groups. I have both enjoyed and experienced issues working in groups over the past two years. I think that as long as the group that I find myself in is of a similar motivation to myself we (hopefully) will work well and create something we can be proud of.
