I planned... A lot... Made a list of the things I wanted to learn and to make it realistic, I narrowed it down to three skills; Rigging in Maya, Procedural modeling in Houdini and Substance designer for creating realistic materials. Since I opted for self study this summer, I was going to be my own boss and I had sufficient enough time to learn all of the above skills. I planned all these in March 2020, just before the world was shut down. To get the confirmation that this is a solid plan, I talked to my mentor and was told that focus on only 1 skill this summer. I laughed at first but then I accepted it, after all he is my mentor. So, my primary goal was to focus on rigging. Starting mid May 2020, I planned to finish 4 tutorials from Pluralsight before August 2020 which will give me good enough knowledge of rigging, along with procedural rigging and auto-rig. And spending August month on creating a portfolio piece by myself.
