This month I've been taking VSD ( Visual Development ) there was a lot of things that I've learned English shading and lighting class from the previous one I took a couple of months ago. For the subject of shading and lighting I struggled a little bit, trying to understand and get a good grasp on the whole idea of diffuse, reflection, refraction, specular, and etc. Other than that I got a pretty good idea how to use most of the tools that I've learned from visual development. a couple of the things that I've learned from visual development are how to make glass, UV's in UV mapping, texturing with Photoshop, rendering and batch rendering and a lot more. As for someone who's mostly interested in animation I did find that going through visual development i've learned the importance of shading and lighting, shading and lighting help bring out the most in a scene, even if you have the best skills and animation, good lighting is like the icing on the cake. With the tools and skills that I've learned from visual development I plan on using in all of my information projects.
