Thomas Mayfield MGA

Hello I am Thomas Mayfield Born in 1997 27Th of May and I am currently working at Dartford College. In my spare time if I am on Xbox I usually forge (create) professional maps for people to play on.

I am here Sen-Pie. This picture is handy. Break a leg. This is where I draw the line. We will make diamonds out of your cast.

Unfortunately

Okay, so I need to give the laptop back soon. However I have been drawing a lot lately so You will have to do with drawing for now. Also I will be posting some huge theories on here and on tumblr about game design and things like that. Just figure I keep you all posted.

[thomasmayfield]

Okay well.....

I have to hand the college laptop back in today so if I don’t upload anything for a while you know... (Delete History ._.)

The life list.

Okay, so I know I am going to University this year, so I have come up with a smart plan to get me into the videogame industry and at the same time get me some money. I am going to get a PC soon and with my knowledge of 3D modelling I can start to model objects for money.

I’m going to University, not stopping that, however if I can I will take a year off for an apprenticeship. I also going to learn programming in my spare time so I can start making my own games. They won’t be impressive but it will prove I have what it takes.

I am also improving my drawing skills. One thing I have practised quite a bit is drawing hands. The are hard to do and if I can get those pat down then doing the rest should be fine.

This is going to be a tough 5 years ahead of me and I have very high goals to achieve  so I will make a little list of things I need to do.

1. LOOK FOR APPRENTICESHIPS!

Just go online and start looking up apprenticeships every day, (like your routine with e-mail, facebook and tumblr) PLEASE PLEASE DO THIS!!!

2. Start to learn programming.

This will help you in the long run because lots of people these days need programmers and even if you can’t learn become a designer you can still have a job in the industry.

3. Practise drawing.

Do AT LEAST one drawing a day, doesn’t matter if it is the same object over and over again just draw and you will get better.

4. Keep looking for work.

Although you have a job that may not last forever. You need some sort of back-up just incase because Boomers might not be around forever (As nice as it would be) Plus you don’t want to be working in a cafe for the rest of your life, aim big! (Plus you need that paper)

5. Constant Posting and Behance.

Behance is your creative portfolio so you need to be able to add lots to that, remember your up against some serious competition so get working asap. Also getting a fan base on tumblr wouldn’t hurt either ;)

6. Photography.

You are good at your photography so put it to good use. See if you can get a couple people to look at your work and give you feedback.

Task’s of the day.

Okay so I have been following hunt the truth for a while now and I figure that I make some sort of video about it, so I will be doing all 12 episodes (Even though 12 even isn’t out yet) I will still do as many as I can. Other than that I will be animating my memory stick today as well as doing some 3D animation.

This is my planet in action, it came out really nice in the end and the planet worked fine as well. Maybe next time instead of using just a ramp shader for the atmosphere, see if I can’t give it an actual atmosphere.

[thomasmayfield]

This is my Final Major Project Video. I will not lie, there are many things that could have gone better. The planet took way to long due to technical issues so I didn’t have time to make my environment look as good as I wanted it to. This is a load better than my previous environment but it could still use a lot of work. My 3D knowledge has increased a load in this project but there is still room for learning. Next time will be better, maybe not as good as I would like but none the less I will improve and that is what has happen. Even though this is a step backwards it is also a massive step forwards for me.

This is the end. FMP 27 22/05/2015

Well today is the deadline for the FMP and I am happy to say even though the final project didn’t come out as nicely as I had hoped it still came out reasonably. I personally think there have been some successes to this project but overall there have been some ups and down. The ups are that my research has gone up quite a lot however my modelling has not been as good as I had hoped. I have done a lot better than my last environment but there is still room for improvement. Well my plan for the day is to go over all the work I have done and see what can be altered.

For the last time, let get started!
