Reflections:
Today is first day of school and it was nice meeting the 2/3 of the lecturers. It was also a pleasure getting introduced to the classmates for my course. We did a bit of introduction to the two main software that we need to learn for this term. It wasn’t very difficult as I already understand some of the basics of 3D.
Manos taught a bit of the basics of Maya, I modeled a snowman, but I deleted in at the end of the class so I did not have a screenshot of it.
Emily introduce us to the basic pipeline of VFX and the real life applications of UE 5 in VFX. She proceed to teach us the basic navigation of UE5.
