Unit 66 – 3D ModellingHA5 – Sidekick Task 1 – Project Charter 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 ManagementTwo of the main problems I have identified are my organisation and preparation for upcoming lesson making it more difficult to complete the work on time. Another problem I identified was my scheduling because I tend to spend hours on one piece and then leave no time for another task. Research and Ideas GenerationMy researching skills aren’t too bad as I am able to find the necessary information and images required. I just need to improve on going into more detail on my idea generation. Drawing TechniquesI have basic drawing skills enough to draw an image an acceptable image. I could just improve on my shading and scale so the image doesn’t look out of proportion.Adobe PhotoshopI have basic understanding of Photoshop but still need assistance when it comes to certain pieces of editing such as using the cloning tool.Adobe IllustratorI have basic skills in Illustrator so I’m able to complete simple commands and tasks but sometimes need to ask my peers or the tutor for assistant on certain tasks. NewTek LightWave - ModelerI am able to complete a range of different task using LightWave Modeler and I am able to make basic 3D models using a set of tools providing but still need assistance when it comes to solving problems such as malfunctions.

Assignment Structure – Ask yourself the following questions:

Are you clear about the timescale available?Yes I am aware I have 7 weeks to hand the assignment in, but an extension was given due to program difficulties so all together we had 9 weeks to complete the assignment. Do you understand what elements of the unit are being assessed?I know some of the elements were being assessed on but I think I need to refer back to the assignment brief to get more of a understanding on all of it.Do you understand the scenario and the reasons for carrying out the assignment?Yes I understand I am having to create a robot design for an online community game called Second Life. Have you visited the Second Life community and the SL Market Place? What are your impressions?No but I plan on viewing the site and getting a slight understanding of the community and market place.What is your goal for this assignment?Complete all the task to a pass level and possibly a merit level.

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?
