When I initially thought of what I would do as my personal project, I assumed it would be environment modeling. It's what I have enjoyed doing the most over the course. But, in the back of my mind I remembered having loads of fun with Visual effects in a Tafe course I did just before uni. The problem is, I haven't really done any since then and unfortunately the Games Degree doesn't include any course on the subject. When I talked to Matt about it, he seemed to think it was a good idea. Nobody else had thought of doing it, so if I do succeed with it (which is my plan...) then I'll be the only person to come out of this course with that kind of specialization.
Which would be really cool.
So I'm going to have a crack at doing visual effects this semester. Not the coding part of it, which I'm told can often be shoved with it. Instead I'm going to offer my help with every projects visual effects needs, look up all the tutorials I can to help me get through. And hopefully in the end I'll have gained enough skills and enjoyment to keep going through to next semester.
Aside from the main game projects, I really like the idea of creating some nice looking weather effects for a scene. Whether it's one I find off the internet, or maybe even one of the environment modelers personal projects.
More ideas to come.
