Spline
This week, I focused mainly on fixing the shoulders of my model. At the beginning of the process, I made a mistake by rotating the Y axis, something I later realized I should not have done. This small error caused a ripple effect, forcing me to reset the Y axis value to zero and make further adjustments to connected parts like the neck and chest. It was a frustrating experience, especially because it felt like I was going backward before I could move forward.
Despite the setbacks, I am actually surprised by the outcome. The final result turned out better than I expected, and I learned a lot from working through the problem. It reminded me how important it is to double-check the foundation before moving on to more detailed elements.
Next time, I will ask for help earlier in the process. Whether it is a student assistant, a teacher, or a classmate, getting a second pair of eyes to look over the body setup before jumping into the face will save time and stress. Working on both the body and face at the same time is more complicated than I thought, and it makes it harder to know where to focus. This experience taught me the value of patience, planning, and collaboration.
