Victorian House

Victorian House
EGD380A – Advanced Seminar in Art & Animation.
Fall 2009 – First Semester, junior year
Montreal Campus

This is pretty much a big disappointment for me. I really don’t know what I was thinking. This class was an advanced seminar in environmental art. The whole semester was just one project. Stupidly, I f@#Ked up and didn’t really think about what I was doing. The assignment was to basically make an interior or just something complex (one of my classmates pulled off creating a Warhammer 40K Thunderhawk, it was sick). I decided I wanted to create an interior of a Victorian house, and add in some elements of steampunk into it. I really wanted to create the house in VHE (Valve Hammer Editor) instead of the Unreal engine because I hadn't yet wrapped my head around how powerful Unreal is, and also I was very familiar with VHE. To make a long and stupid story short, I spent too much time doing things that didn’t matter, wasn’t using an engine our teacher was a specialist in, and didn’t manage my time wisely. The good news is that just like every class I took in Montreal Campus, I learned a crap load of stuff that I probably never would have found out if I was back at the Vermont Campus. The bad news is that was the first time I got a D as a grade. Ever.

I still got the credit though (through the screen high five?).
