My Reaction to the Brief

My first reaction to the task is that it seemed quite daunting, as most of Leonardo's inventions are complex, which may cause difficulty modelling. But the fact that it is all layed out clearly in two parts in the module guide, showing what components we need to include, makes it a bit less daunting. As long as effective timekeeping is kept and the blog is kept up to date, it seems that the brief shouldn't be too difficult.
The fact that I currently have no knowledge of 3DS Max and have only briefly looked at the software may provide some difficulty at first, but hopefully some tutorials on the program and some practise should make this easier as I go through the brief.
