I have ordered an Alienware Gaming Laptop and hopefully it will be here soon. Unfortunately meant I did this week’s homework on my Macbook Pro. It doesn’t love the huge game files from some of the introduction videos, but I was able to click around and become familiar with the Unreal interface. I am pretty familiar with Unity, so I understood the concepts and content presented, but I it was very helpful to learn how the interfaces differ. Hopefully my new computer will arrive before I need to do the homework for next week, but if it doesn’t, I may need to use a school desktop computer.
I’ve been needing to clean off my Macbook anyways. Cleared 100 GB of space by deleting old apps and files I no longer use or need. Still working on the downloads folder but making a lot of progress here.
I also have Blender downloaded, as I started learning to use it for making assets last spring and have really enjoyed learning how to model and animate in 3d. I also have experience creating 3D AR filters in Lens Studio and SparkAR.
