What Charlie aim to achieve from undertaking the honours project is to gain a better understanding of 3D Environmental/prop creation, and to Gain the required skills to obtain a job in this area of the industry.
In order for her to get a job in the industry as a 3D Environmental/prop creator she will need to require the skills that the industry look for when recruiting. These skills and requirements are listed below:
- Creating high-poly assets, then the conversion for an in game resolution.
- Charlie must have a Clear understanding of normal mapping and the process of normal mapping.

- How To Baking textures from a high poly model to a low poly one.
- Knowledge of games development pipeline/environment/engines
Charlie will also need to gain vast knowledge of software such as:
3D software,
- 3D Studio Max
- Maya
- Z-brush
2D software,
- Photoshop
To achieve these skills that Charlie will need to obtain for a place in the industry, She must Research these areas and look at artist such as:
- Retopologising
- Painting Realist textures

- Creating Normal maps
- Z-brush
- environment artist
Artist
- Steven Marshall
- Paul Roberts
The resources that Charlie will use to find the research that is needed will be:
YouTube/online
Books
- Ploy-modeling with 3ds max
- Virtual vixens
- 3ds Max modelling for games ‘Volume 1/2‘
