What If? Metropolis - Reflective Statement

I'll start this off by saying my time management and organisation skills were not the best during this project. There were many times where I was rushing the work I was doing because I had not done it when I was meant to, or because I kept chopping and changing from one piece of work to another.

I struggled with the project towards the start. It was, in my opinion, a lot more intense than the previous one (Invisible Cities). But I feel that I improved significantly from that in this project, and that I improved over the time of the project as a whole, from the 1st OGR to Crit day. My understanding of Photoshop and Maya has grown considerably, and the feedback from the tutors and my peers was greatly valued and taken into consideration.

I appreciate all the help, feedback and advice that I received from everyone over this project, and look forward to working on the next one!

The Breakdown would be the same as on the previous versions of the painting, with the sky and buildings behind the rear monorail being the matte painting, and the rest being 3D Modelled.

The matte painting would be the sky, and the taller buildings behind the rear monorail. Everything else would be 3D Modeled.

The second of my revised Thumbnails. After receiving advice from fellow students, I made sure the Horizon line wasn't as visible as before. I have a feeling this is the painting I will make my final 3D Render.

Adobe After Effects/Photoshop: Parallax

I created a painting in Photoshop using multiple layers (5 total), brought the Photoshop file into After Effects and animated it to appear ass if it were panning through an actual 3D space. I based my painting off of various pieces from my "What If? Metropolis" Project.
