This year we are working in groups of four to six. For this year my goal is to gain confidence in 3D modelling and lighting in Maya. I was originally in a group of six, but decided to leave the group and work on my own as I found it quite frustrating because I didn't feel that a fair amount of work was being given to me, for one example, I was told to model a medieval house which I thought was a great chance for me to hone my skills, having started the model I brought it in for feed back from the group to find it had been give to another in the group without my knowing, when I questioned what else I could do?! I was told "from now on you can concentrate on modelling vegetable and plant pots." I thought to myself modelling vegetables for 4 months... I think not... So politely, I cut and ran.
I think working on my own will be a great opportunity and a learning curve as I have never worked alone before, hopefully it will show how to pace work and schedule the load in order to get it finished to a standard I'm pleased with.
