What I hope to take away from this class are more skills that I can integrate with my 3D modeling skills. I know there are many more ways of using 3D than just animation, and I wanted to learn about it. Some skill I took away was learning to use After Effects and adding additional effects that are not present in the original video. The other is tracking, which allows you to place 3D objects over the video and have them follow the background, so they appear to be part of the video. There are many films that are live action that you would not believe use 3D effects.
​
My focus is modeling, I enjoy it the most. I created the New Station background and the Alien Ship. I also learned a new software, Substance Painter, which enables me to add higher quality textures to the objects and scenes I create. With what I learned from this class, it opens many doors opportunities and jobs I can apply for. A job I could do now is make object set pieces for live action films. In addition, I learned a lot of visual effect and how to incorporate my 3D model set piece into live action to create more vivid scene.
