Sword Animation: This artifact showcases a project where I was tasked with creating a 3D object and animating it. This artifact demonstrates 3D design skills, basic motion design, ability to create high and low poly demo items for games, and basic animation ability.
Reflection: The process of creating this was to first create a very basic outline of the sword, then to make a more complex version with more polys to get a smoother, more detailed, and more realistic design. One challenge I faced was relearning the process for animating in 3Ds Max since it has been awhile since I had last used it. I learned how to use different shapes to my advantage when creating this and the value of keeping things as simple as possible because of the amount of detail and time.
