Learning Challenge: The Importance of Reading

Reading was always important for me in primary, secondary and now especially in college. It helps expand the mind, helps improve concentration and helps you de-stress. I haven't done much reading as a hobby only read certain few books like Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit books but after them nothing.

For Multimedia Development I take time to go over tutorials for my Unity tasks, in a way that is reading but visually and its helps me to take in information off coding and different features on Unity to help me with my own and up-coming game.

One thing I didn't take from reading before was the motivation from it and helping me explore new ideas but since the start of the course I have taken a liken to it and read articles for most of my modules which helps me very much and to keep doing this during my 2nd year and improve my work overall.

These videos provided me with great help into attaching my FPS controller and camera to my character! Attach the camera Adding the FPS controller

Before heading into TU Dublin I first went to a PLC in Dunboyne and did the exact same course I'm doing now; after completing my year there I decided I wanted to take a career in the art of designing on computers as I heard many positives about this chosen career especially in the money !

It was a tough time for work and trying to work at home and online with limited resources such as cameras, adobe software and the Mac's that the college provided which was where I did most of my work for the modules and to move from that to my Windows laptop was very diffi...
