LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTS
I've never actually used 3d modeling software to make my own assets and use them for a game... until now! Normally for my prototypes I would stick to the safety of Unreals BSP system to create static meshes (which is often enough to prove my concepts) or I have been working with professional artists and there just wasn't much need for me to create my own art.
For this project I drew the assets in photoshop, with a cardboard filter, then moved it to blender to create the 3d assets.
We decided to keep the art style simple so I could create enough assets to finish before the deadline and to make sure I had some time to just goof around with the new tools.
