(CA-1) - 3D Modeling:Groups
eligible to participate: A, N & P
Entries in this classification should be designed to solve a
problem using a 3D modeling software application. The students
work will be judged on complexity of problem, purpose,
presentation, and innovation. The 3D Modeling challenge is designed to
introduce the student to a 3D modeling system and to the
concepts such systems are based upon. The purpose of the
challenge is to have fun, be creative and get better at using
their favorite 3d modeling program. 3D Modeling Challenge is an
event that challenges the creativity, and imagination of the
student to create a 3D Model of a imagined machine (transformer,
Wall-E), or architectural scene (Future town, or a
Babylon), or (a new concept vehicle) but not limited to these,
creativity and originality is the theme for 3d modeling. The
competition is designed to promote the creation of new and
innovative graphic representation of an innovative new _________ using
any 3D modeling software at their disposal. All entries must
provide a computer for display and evaluation. All objects used
in the 3D model must be original work created by the student or
students, Items should not come from libraries or templates
already created and available within the program. This
category is not an Architectural or Mechanical presentation
drawings, but purely for the creative mind, detail drawings
with dimensions are not required. Objectionable or
offensive content will not be allowed. Scoring Guide for CA-1

(CA-3) - Computer Animation: Groups eligible to participate:
A, N & P: Entries
in this classification should be completely computer generated
and must be completed by an individual student or a group of
students. Software such as Lightwave 3d, Studio Max, Maya, and
Cinema 4D but not limited to these can be used. The students
work will be judged on a wire frame construction of the animated
objects or objects as well as their computer illustration,
shaded, and rendering of the object. Since this is an animation,
the object should run smoothly through a number of frames to
produce a 30 second to 1 minute animated presentation. The
instructions for presentation start-up and operation must be
typed and/or graphically illustrated. All design work must be
viewable and ready for review and evaluation either on computer
or display board. All entries must provide necessary
equipment for application operation and evaluation. This
category is not an Architectural or Mechanical presentation
drawings, but purely for the creative mind, detail drawings
with dimensions are not required. Objectionable or
offensive content will be removed. All objects used in the
animation must be original work created by the student or
students, Items should not come from libraries or templates
