Here are the final render beauty shots of my 3D Asset and video.

Video:
Error using and connecting to viper render engine on the Lab computers. Managed to connect to viper using the global connect VPN network and have produced this turntable video.

Personal Reflection:
Personally I have enjoyed this module and feel that the work I have produced is of a high quality. I have concepted several ideas together and feel I have justified my choice of design and textures well enough.
I did action and edit what I created to feedback I received on both Canvas and in lectures /classrooms to help further and improve my model. The comments I received really allowed me to think about what I was creating and how I could show the themes I have chosen within both my asset and the environment it will be a centre piece of.
However if I were to take some more time on it I would like to add some more branches that work their way around the blade of the sword and up to the pommel. As well as add some strapping to the handle to give it a more authentic sword look, compared to just a plane leather texture on the handle shape. I would also like to manipulate some of the UV’s of the stone and branches to hide some of the joins that are visible on my model.
I have had several issues with rendering the video, I had connection issues in the lab that resulted in 4 failed rendering attempts using viper. I managed to get what Is above the following day thanks to using the global VPN network from my own laptop to connect to viper. This produced my turntable animation. What I struggled with is rendering the subsequent scenes I had created, to support the turntable and fill up the video to 20 seconds. With each attempt it rendered the turntable again when I knew and had checked all of the settings to be rendering from the correct camera this was attempted 5 times before the deadline ton try and produce the correct video settings.
