style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a lot of shifting in terms of scope and game design. Having come into this class with little to no knowledge in digital art, I have learned a ton about process and pipeline that is needed to transfer an idea into a textured object in a game. I found that my modelling skills were not as predominant as I had anticipated, so I shifted from third-person to first-person and focused my modelling on the NPC characters. I found a similar situation when I was animating my character, and resorted to the animations present from Mixamo. I was not able to animate any interactions but I am hoping to learn from this experience as I move forward. All in all, I wanted my project to lean towards the scenic direction, and I think I managed to achieve a product quite similar to my original goal. I believe that the knowledge earned in this class will greatly aid my judgement in terms of artwork in game design. I would say my most significant area of growth was level design in Maya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Base NPC model: Tsvetomir Georgiev &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/cecoaliensa\">https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/cecoaliensa\/store<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain effects asset: Jeff Johnson &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalruby.com\/unity-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.digitalruby.com\/unity-plugins\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skybox asset: Wello Soft &#8211; https:\/\/assetstore.unity.com\/publishers\/11882<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background music &#8211; Ben Mangold<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Windows\/Mac Build. *I have not tested the Mac build.
