Rig, Animate, Light, and Render the Forklift
During my first year at Media Design School, I was assigned a project in my 3D foundation class to model, rig, and animate a realistic forklift within a warehouse setting. I was pleased with both the final outcome and the valuable lessons I learned throughout the process.

Feedback from Lecturer:
- Really solid work work with the forklift model. Clearly, you have thought about how the forklift is constructed and how pieces are put together.
- Animation is looking great, your forklift is following standard operation procedures. Great work, it looks natural and smooth.
- Lighting sources are very accurate, creating good looking shadows.
- Brilliant work, you have shown great understanding of each principle.
