Reflective Essay Project 2

TEDIOUS

I found myself frustrated and flustered at my inability to remember what settings are where.
My navigation and building has increased immensely however time really is your most valuable resource. There were many things that took more or less time than i anticipated. I was really upset with how long of a process texturing takes. Applying colors is very easy, but i found the UV editing window to actually be bad programming. I think that someone could easily program a much easier way to do widespread texturing without the hassle of going through the uv editor --> photoshop --> maya ---> apply file destination etc. Its just annoying in my mind, or would be for large scale projects, thank god it was only a few buildings.

Its been a long time since i was so frustrated with a program, but i am also having a lot of fun playing around. I was so ashamed of my earlier BLOCKS buildings that i redid all of them. With my familiarity improved over the last month i was able to produce much better looking buildings, and if i had more time im sure i could make them almost identical!

New Update - 

Textured the entire map you see before you - yes the rendered photo was still buggy

When i tried to render the shot, the file got corrupted and it actually deleted the map maya file itself. Can you believe that? ha?

I got a message saying they gathered info on it or something....
