As you continue working on your character model, you are to put together a portfolio of your 3D work for final grading!
Your portfolio should include the following assignments:
- Your environment,
- Your conceptual environment drafts (the lighting assignment)
- Your Film, Saved, to a video site (youtube or vimeo,) with a contrubition list!
- Your character model, rendered into a video with turnaround, and wireframe transition! (I will demonstrate in class.)
For this portfolio, you are allowed to showcase this to a website as a collection of videos, or a singular reel. As all of you are taking animation classes, you are allowed to append 3D work into reels for your other classes should you choose.
I am expecting maximum craftsmanship on all projects. That includes gentle transitions with camera angles, minimal clipping from models, and for the projects that required texturing, masterful texturing, and excellent storytelling from your group films! You have two days to assemble a portfolio to turn in to me at the beginning of class for final grading! For your character model: I need a folder with your model in it on the server! For your model, I only need basic shaders, and a quality 3-Point lighting setup for your work! Extra credit is given to how far you go beyond these requirements!
FOR FINALS: I WILL GRADE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
1. Modeling efficiency: use of edgeloops, smoothing, poly counts, etc. (I need to know the number of polys you used for your models!)
2. Quality of lighting and texturing:
3. Animation project (4 grades):
- Contributions list, writeup, and personal performance,
- quality of individual sections of the film, (note your contributions, take renders, and show me what you created you're most proud of!)
- Quality of the film as a whole,
- A combination of my observations and notes from the production, and your submitted review of your group! (in production and execution)
4. Quality of your portfolio! How you display your work, what additional resources (concise descriptions, layout, etc) you provide, etc!
5. Character Model:
Edge flow, quality of character model with respects to efficient detail, and 3D design in comparison to your submitted 2D design.
I have graded all your content thus far, but, as this is your chance to submit everything, including improvements to past works, your final will consist of the majority of your final grade. I will create a link list to the right of this post for future students to take a look at the work you have created!
