I encountered a few issues overall. Especially when it came to modelling the actual assets and the software itself.
I really struggle understanding the Maya interface so I had a few issues with general problems like the pivot being off centre and me not understanding why or how to fix it. A few little problems similar to this popped up every now and then. I also struggled generally with the modelling of my assets. Sometimes I would attempt to model something and come across an issue I had no idea how to solve or I would want to model a shape I wouldn’t know how to form properly. I definitely need to practise my modelling skills.
Another issue I came across was Maya crashing with ‘fatal errors’ and my work would be subsequently lost. Most of the time it was my fault for not saving frequently enough.
I also encountered a large issue with rendering my asset animations. Whenever I would attempt to render the assets as animations – Maya would sometimes crash half way through leaving only 3 assets fully rendered and added into my video.
