The document provides information for a project charter for a 3D modeling assignment creating a sidekick character for a game. It includes a skills audit where the student rates their skills as not very experienced in project management, drawing, or 3D modeling software but believes they have the skills to complete the assignment. It outlines that the student understands the timescale, what is being assessed in the assignment, and the scenario for creating a militarized sidekick to tip the balance of the game. Potential problems mentioned are lack of skills could cause delays but the student believes they can meet the deadline or may go slightly over.

Use these prompts to create a written charter for your project.
Skills Audit – Review your strengths and weaknesses and confidence in the following areas:
Project Management
Am not skilled in project management but am learning very quickly to get stuff done other
stuff plies on very quickly
Research and Ideas Generation
Bit lazy to begin with but I believe I will have to skills to get what is asked of me done to a
good standard of work
Drawing Techniques
Not great but I believe I has the necessary skills to get what I need to do done in my
upcoming Designs of my sidekick
Adobe Photoshop
Am not new at Photoshop but I wouldn’t say I was experienced with it I know enough to get
me along in this project and will learn more as I go along
Adobe Illustrator
The same as Photoshop but I wouldn’t say I as experienced with it but we assume we won’t
need to use it much but if we need to need to I think I will succeed
NewTek LightWave - Modeler
I believe I has the amount of skills I need to get it done even though my last project in
modeller was 3 weeks over due but I believe that won’t happen on this since its less
complicated and what I want to model
Assignment Structure – Ask yourself the following questions:
Are you clear about the timescale available?
Yes even through most of the time I would just go ahead like I got all the time in the world
but am aware of it and trying to take measure to stop me from using this mind-set
Do you understand what elements of the unit are being assessed?
Yes I do and I will refer to the assignment if I don’t know what I need to do in this
assignment but I am aware of what I need to do and what is being assessed to an extent
Do you understand the scenario and the reasons for carrying out the assignment?
I do and I understand the reason for taking this project and I am ready to get what I need to
do for the scenario in this assignment and the assignment itself
Have you visited the Second Life community and the SL Market Place? What are your impressions?
I do and it doesn’t seem like such a great game but am sure some people like and it leaves
your sidekick design to be almost limitless since it’s a copy of the real world but in future
hence the name second life but it wouldn’t be anything I play since I don’t like to play 2
versions of my own life even if its fantasy
What is your goal for this assignment?
To create a sidekick for either the rule breakers or the cops in the second life game my
sidekick will be heavy milltasied and will not help in any other way but possible can tip the

2. balance of the game greatly and this my goal/idea for the project am going to be doing
Constraints – What is going to cause you problems in this project (technical, time, legal and ethical issues etc.) and what will you
do to solve these problems?
Some of my skills my cause problem but it will be solved quite easily for the most part it will
be solved I think I may go a week or two over the deadline but I believe I may be able to to
get it done in the deadline if I do it fast
