Final Thoughts...

Overall, the project was fun but tiring. I got to learn more than 8 different softwares to make one model in a span of 4 months. There were many challenging aspects but the one I find most difficult is to have enough patience to make hair cuts for the character and make sure that all model parts were nicely aligned with each other with no overlaps or floating objects.
I did not expect 3D to be a meticulous and tedious task. But after braving through it, the outcome is rewarding and satisfying.

Final Thoughts...

To my surprise, I enjoyed crafting the environment more compared to character even though I liked character modelling. I loved making the lantern and plants the most.
