Here is the work that I have produced over the past two years part-time at St.Helens Coleege affiliated with Huddersfield University. This consisted in me coming up with my own project idea and pitching what I proposed to carry out to my tutors in the first year (Pre-Production) and then implementing everything I planned in the second year (Production). In the first year of the top-up degree I produced sketches and final concepts on what I was going to model in the second year; my proposal was to produce a Human character, a weapon and a vehicle which would then be imported into the Unreal engine. In the end due to time constraints I only imported the character into Unreal but this gave me a better insight into what it takes to successfully import a model from a 3D package into a game engine. The 3D package I used is 3DS Max, I produced the textures (Diffuse & Specular) in Photoshop CS2 and X Normal to produce the Normal maps and then tweaked again in CS2.
 
It was a massive learning curve for me which will stand me in good stead for future projects that I will produce. Throughout the project I eventually produced a blog to keep a diary of my day to day activities and to show the problems that I encountered.
