This document provides information and instructions for a 3D modeling assignment for Year 12 students at Hillcrest Christian College. It outlines the task of creating an original 3D model in Blender that demonstrates modeling skills learned. Students must submit draft and final models, as well as a design brief and evaluation. They will be assessed on planning, design, skill level, time management, and response to feedback. The "Tick & Flick" checklist outlines various Blender modeling techniques students should utilize in their work. The assignment aims to prepare students for upcoming game development studies in the next semester.

3D Modeling
TASK
Your task is to create a unique single 3D model (.blend and .jpg[render])with one or
more objects that fully demonstrates all of the abilities (refer to Tick & Flick) learnt
through completion of the term folio activities (and more if you wish to show higher
levels of competency within the discipline). The concept upon which you base your final
model is entirely your choice, however it is beneficial that whatever you create be easily
integrated within the Gaming development environment (Unity 3D) in looking forward
toTerm 2‟s studies.
To further explain, if you are able to think ahead (without having seen the Gaming
Software) about the “scenario” for a game you would like to develop as part of Term 2‟s
course assessment, then you could design your 3D Model now accordingly to fit within
that scope.
Of course this is not compulsory and you are just as welcome to create a 3D Model of
your choice without the need to later utilize in Unity 3D.Some ideas for those who might
need inspiration:
Real life model; Everyday object(s), place, living thing(s)
A multi-faceted object (i.e. Similar to the Wikibook Car – wheels, body, seats,
steering wheel, lights etc.)
Abstract art; Anything that is not real life per se‟ (can be an adaption of real life;
i.e. Sci-Fi) but is still able to showcase all of your 3D modeling abilities in
Blender.
Wikibook; Goblet (standard C), Simple Vehicle (Potential A), Building a
House/Neighbourhood (Potential A+)
IMPORTANT - There is no extra grade available for taking either approach; only added
advantages for future ICT course work.
ASSESSMENT
You will be assessed on:
The planning process for your 3D Model
Design and audience appeal – your ability to develop an appealing and engaging 3D Model for
your target audience
The level and depth of skill you demonstrate in using learnt 3D modeling techniques within
Blender software.

3. Your initiative in self-directed learning and time management; your success in applying skills
you have acquired independently
Your ability to respond to personal feedback.
Note:
Ensure you re-read task descriptions and ask questions if you are unsure of what is
required.
Review the assessment grid and make sure you understand how you will be assessed.
Use the ‘Tick and Flick’sheet to ensure you cover all required aspects of design.
Ensure that all other work (folio) submitted also reflects this professionalism in terms of
presentation and ease of viewing.
Design and Planning
Design
Prior to beginning development of the 3D model it is important you describe the
intended environment for the model to be output, as well as the key features of
design.
Write a 200 word brief touching on the following:
The medium for the output 3D model:
o stationery (business card, letterhead, with compliments slips, envelope)
o advertising (poster, signage, trifold)
o 3D Modelssites (generated graphics)
o clothing (style, colour)
o packaging (products)
o game environment etc.
The skills within blender you intend to utilize and demonstrate by the end
of the product development (see ‘tick and flick’).
If multiple objects – the arrangement / placement of those objects
relative to one another.
Evidence of online research for other ‘similar’ 3D models and techniques
implemented in Blender which you intend to emulate (see Ed Portal page
for Bookmarked links to great Blender Galleries online!)
The intended audience and the effect you believe the product will have
for them.
 Submit
Thursday March 7th

4. Develop and Implement
Develop your 3D Models using Blender 3D Modeling studio.
It is expected that developers will modify their plans as they complete this
phase.
Obtain feedback from one of your peers and client (or a member of staff whose
teaches in the curriculum area that you have chosen)
Document feedback you receive in your Journal.
 Submit
Friday March 14th
 Submit
Sunday March 24th
Your DRAFT3D Model (.blend and .jpg) into Draft submission
folder on Ed Portal – 12ICT Assignment Dropbox.
Your FINAL3D Model (.blend and .jpg) into Draft submission
folder on Ed Portal – 12ICT Assignment Dropbox.
Evaluation
Provide a written (1/2 an A4 page)evaluation of the processes involved in completing
the task described.
Mention all of the textbook concepts and skills used (eg. Tick and Flick)
Time frame; set goals or deadlines to achieve completion
Breaking down of your model into objects / overall layout of your design
What you would do differently if asked to do the same task
What are the most impressive features of your 3D model, why so?
Did it successfully meet the expectations of a target audience/model for output
defined in design brief?
Make note of any external resources you used / or inspiration gained.
