Entries in the classification must include necessary equipment for demonstration
and evaluation. All entries must be completed within the Industrial Technology
Education/Technology Education classroom. Display and presentation boards or
screenshots and wire-frame may be used to illustrate the problem and show the
steps followed to develop the project. Entries are platform independent. Detailed
instructions for viewing or running the presentation are required. All content
must be original. (All Groups are eligible to participate)
(CA-1) - 3D MODELING
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 innovativeness. 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 be removed.
(All Groups are eligible to participate)
(CA-2) - MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION
Entries in this classification should be designed to solve a problem, entertain,
inform, or convey a message. using a multimedia-based application. Entries in
this classification should be designed to communicate a specific idea or topic.
The presentation can be in the form of a WEB page, Portfolio, Slideshow, Video,
or 2d animation, etc. The student’s work will be judged on complexity,
content quality, graphic quality, sound quality, innovativeness, and effectiveness.
Any multimedia-based software including but not limited to Adobe Premiere, Final
Cut, PowerPoint, After Effects, Dream Weaver, Fireworks, Flash, etc. Multimedia
includes any combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and
interactivity content. All entries must be viewable and ready for review on
sight. All entries must provide the project on computer for evaluation. The
instructions for multimedia-based application start-up and operation must be
typed and/or graphically illustrated.
(All Groups are eligible to participate)
(CA-3) - COMPUTER ANIMATION
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 two to five minute illustrated
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 already created and available within the program.
