Final renders and evaluation

In this module, I have learned a lot of new things and I improved in each of them. In the beginning, I was worried that my skills in Maya will not improve quickly enough, I was confused most of the time, but I prioritized this module to the point I understood what I was doing and I knew what I wanted to do. Although I know I've still got a lot of room for improvement to be really good and skilled in 3D, I think it is not bad for my first 3D character.

The final look of my character has changed a bit during the process, I wanted her to look both, human and non-human, at the same time. That is why I changed few proportions of her face, to give her more "alien" look, to show she is not completely human. Her glowing eyes without pupils add to the extraterrestrial look. Another change I made was the denim jacket. I didn't make it to show the texture of her jumper more because I think it is the best part of my character with all those details. I also changed the shoes because I felt like these shoes fits her character better and light blue shoes would kind of fade in with the background.

With my current skills I know I would make some things differently now. Because face was the first I made, I can see the distribution of polygons is a bit chaotic sometimes. Also few of the objects were a bit rushed because of the lack of time, so I am not 100% happy with the shoes, they are a little bit blocky. I can see I am much more confident with working in Maya now and things which would take few days before, I can do in a few hours now.

I need to improve my time management because I usually work chaotically, I feel like I am always behind and I focus on details of a certain object before the whole shape of the character is done. This is not a problem only with CGI, it's my problem with everything I do, but this module just proved it, although I was able to catch up and finish it before the deadline without any problems. 

Overall, I can say I have enjoyed this module. It challenged me to do my best and I was enjoying it even when I had to fix many mistakes all the time or start again and again. I definitely want to continue with 3D and I would like to do it professionally someday.
