Evaluation

The development of the models did not go well, i had many issues with knowing how to use all the tools properly to create the model i want. But by the end i got used to most of the tools, and my model went closer to the stage i wanted to see it, although i could still improve it. If i would create another model, next time i would have alot more references to my work, so it be easier to know what im doing.

This project let me know that i need to do more research on what im trying to model and how to do it, by doing research i believe my project could have ended alot better. Also i need to get more familiar with all the uv tools, as painting was quite difficult.
