Exploring Specialist Pathway 2 

Today my group went to the Stoke Campus, we had a lecture about progression routes and on interviews for our next step. We also used the library facilities, I took two books out, Maya Professional Tip and Techniques and Digital Sculpting with Mudbox. Iv'e taken out these books for reference and to help me model in Maya and Mudbox. Visiting the library has been a big help and an eye opener, the last visit wasn't successful due to the library being refurbished so we were restricted to the core collection and didn't have access to the main collect where all the up-to-date books were located.  

The lecture took 2-3 hours and I now have a clear understanding about the top-up courses. We also had a tour through the VFX and concepts design area with Jan. If I want to do this course I'll probably have to enter on to the second year as I don't think I'm ready for the third year. They are using software I've not used before like Zbrush.  

We are hoping to get a talk from a lecturer from Stafford about the games design course, to see if we can enter at the third year of the course. I have much to consider, wether I want to continue on with the entrepreneurship, the VFX course and enter the second year or the Games design course and enter at year 2 or 3.
